Oh, the excitement. The panic. The exhilaration. The sheer JOY of being a vendor at the
Country Living Fair! With only a few short weeks to go, the
Country Living Fair in Columbus, Ohio is sure to be the highlight of the year.
bel monili by l.marlane is absolutely thrilled to be a vendor at this prestigious show for the first time! I am working hard to craft, create, and prepare for my visits to Columbus and Atlanta.
So, since
bel monili is brand new to the Country Living scene, I thought I'd take a moment to introduce myself and show you a little bit of what I do!
My name is Lucy, and I am the brains (ha!) behind bel monili by l.marlane. By trade, I am a speech-language pathologist at a suburban elementary school. By rite of passage, I am an artist. My real love is creating unique, one of a kind pieces using vintage components.
My home is small, but my passion for creating is huge. I love finding the perfect vintage piece and transforming it into something "new" to be loved. Here's a little peek at some of my favorite things:
|
vintage earrings...one of my favorites |
I hand-craft jewelry and accessories using vintage materials, fun finds, and previously loved pieces.
|
some pretty display items... |
My display is a mash of function and beauty, vintage and re-purposed.
|
feathers, seashells, and industrial bits and goodies |
|
bel monili signature flower pins and hairclips |
My flower pins are definitely one of the main attractions; they were included in the giveaway bags for the 38th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards!
|
meet Francine! |
Despite my small space, I like to keep inspiration and beauty in plain sight.
