What the Bible says about Tassels

Last weekend, I had the awesome opportunity to be a vendor at the Refresh Conference at Simpsonville First Baptist.  The weekend long conference was dedicated to creating community for adoption and foster parents.  I met so many wonderful ladies and I feel like I learned so much about how God calls on people to love and serve one another.

Another thing that I learned last weekend, was the symbol of the tassel and I was so surprised when I found out that the Bible mentions tassels in numerous places!

• Matthew 9:20 "Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the fringe (tassel) of his cloak." Verse 22 reads, "Take heart daughter, your faith has healed you."  

• Numbers 15:39-41 "It shall be a tassel for you to look at and remember all the commandments of the Lord, so as to do them and not follow after your own heart and your own eyes...so that you may remember to do all My commandments and be holy to your God.  I am the Lord, your God."

How amazing is that?   From now on, the significance of a tassel will not just be an idea of something "trendy" to me.   It now has a beautiful meaning of our importance to God, and how it can always be a reminder of Him.

I've loved creating tassel jewelry and pretty much all things tassel!   This week, I shipped out a custom tassel keychain and included these verses on a card for my client.  How amazing to do what you love and share God's word too!

Check out my Etsy shop for all things tassel, and even some tassel bookmarks for your Bible!

09.30.16 Friday Favorites

I can't believe this is already the last Friday Favorites for the month of September!  This entire month has absolutely flown by.  Here is a list of six things that caught my eye and made me swoon this past week!

1. Ivy and Violetts Tablescapes

I've been following this beautiful company on Facebook for a while now and everyday they post the most gorgeous things!  I fell in love with this tablescape of white pumpkins and farmhouse decor.  Love!

2.  "A Great Bible Quote a Day Journal"

My mom and I were looking through TJ Maxx this week and we came across this journal, while I was looking for a 2017 planner.  Each page in this book has a Bible verse with an entire page devoted to writing notes on.  I love this idea!  My mom and I bought each bought one to journal and take in the Bible together. 

3. Angelica South Carolina Bracelets at Skatell's 

Us South Carolina girls love our South Carolina stuff!  So, of course I thought these were just darling when Skatell's Jewelers in Greenville posted them on their Instagram page this week.  

4.  Knack and Jill Pumpkin Towel

This week I came across this hand painted tea towel on Knack and Jill's Instagram.  How cute would this look in your kitchen during the fall?  Adorable!

5. HelloAllisonArt Painting

I've been following HelloAllisonArt for a while now on Instagram and I couldn't stop looking at this mini painting when she posted it!  I love the colors and texture!  It's also pink which is pretty awesome that Breast Cancer Awareness month is coming up.   Great work, Allison!

6.  Carolina Tassel Necklace

I know that I might be a smidge biased on this next favorite thing, but I really do love this Carolina Gamecock color tassel necklace that I created this week!  I'm liking the shape and color of these garnet beads!  Check it out on my etsy shop! 

New Game Day Tassel Necklaces are now on Etsy!

Football Season is ALMOST here!  

Who else will be watching the Carolina Panthers tomorrow night?  My husband and I have decided to throw a little football party for the two of us, with 7 layer dip, wings, and beer. You know, the typical football foods!  ;)   

In the mean time, I've been ramping up my Etsy shop and stocking more items.  The Clemson and Carolina necklaces sold last week.  So, it was time to make a couple more to add to the site. However, since every necklace is a piece of art, none of them are the same.  New beads and new designs were in the works today!  Check them out and don't forget to check out my Etsy shop to get gameday ready! Also, gameday necklaces will be only $35 (regularly $40) for the month of September!

Friday Favorites 08.12.16

Happy Friday y'all!   Here are a few things that caught my eye and made me swoon throughout this past week.

1.  Lettuce - Ware  

I've actually been collecting pieces of this for a few years now and I was SUPER excited that Veranda Magazine shared a post this week about how it's making a come back. (Yay!)  Evidently it's going for a pretty penny these days, if you find the old stuff!

2.  Marley Lilly Pull Over

I subscribe to the Marley Lilly e-mails and fell in love with this gray pull over that was in one of the emails this week!  It showed you multiple ways to wear this wardrobe staple.  I think I will definitely have to purchase one of these soon.   It's pretty awesome that the headquarters is located in my hometown too!  :)

3.  Palmetto Bluff Home in Southern Living

This house is amazing!  Looking through every picture of this home makes me swoon!  

4.  Havaianas 

Who else has been watching the Olympics like crazy?   During part of the coverage, they went to a local Havaianas store.   Then, that made me start wanting another pair...  I found these on their website and OMG!  They're gorgeous!  I'm totally loving this olive green color for fall and the stones on these are amazing too!

5.  Tarte - BB Tinted Treatment 12 Hour Primer

I have loved all of Tarte's make up that I have tried and this was no exception.  It gives coverage without being too cakey and I really feel like my skin just looks and feels better, even after I've taken it off!  I've always had issues with breakouts, so I was hesitant to try this.  However, I'm a fan!  

6.  Painter Designs Tassel Necklace

I might be just a smidge biased on this next one, but I love this green and coral tassel necklace that I made this week!  The green color reminds me of milk glass and I LOVE milk glass!  Check out my etsy shop @ https://www.etsy.com/shop/painterdesignsart
