A New Crown for Princess Buttercup

I love custom wedding jewelry and accessory requests! One of our brides is having a Princess Bride wedding complete with Westley, Buttercup, Inigo and a cast of thousands (well okay, probably just a cast of 10s, but they have costumes;). She asked me to make a crown for her to wear as Princess Buttercup, and this was the result.

UPDATE: This crown is now for sale as a made to order piece from Thyme2dream Weddings on Etsy, Thyme2dream Storenvy and Thyme2dream ArtFire.

New Ear Dreams Ear Cuffs (and a Giveaway)

Sapphire and Ice Ear Dreams Ear Cuff

Ear Cuffs have always been a featured item in my handcrafted jewelry range because I come from a long line of women who never wanted to hassle with getting their ears pierced (but love ear jewelry of all kinds:).  I kinda figured I had exhausted all the ideas for new ways to put things on ears with no piercings, but I recently set aside a block of creativity time and out popped my latest ear cuff / ear wrap- an Art Nouveau inspired design that I am calling the Thyme2dream "Ear Dreams".

Ear Dreams are featured in my new Storenvy shop and at Thyme2dreamWeddings Etsy, We are also featuring them in the booth at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival this fall.

"Down along under Hill, shining in the sunlight,

Waiting on the doorstep for the cold starlight,

There my pretty lady is, River-woman's daughter,

Slender as the willow-wand, clearer than the water."

~J.R.R Tolkien

Tom Bombadil appears toward the beginning of The Fellowship of the Ring is one of my favorite characters from the Lord of the Rings. Athough I understood they needed to do something to keep the first film from being way too long, I was sad to see him left out of the films. Tom's wife Goldberry was a river daughter who he met one summer's day when he was dangling his beard in the River Withywindle where she lived with her mother. She pulled him in and apparently stole his heart, for he eventually took her home to be his bride.
