Another Chance

Came across a post on Recycled Bride (Bahaha, excuse the irony) about a bride who was left at the alter. Without warning, her fiance simply vanished, only to be heard from a week later, and two years after that attempts to come back in to the bride's life. Should she do it? Or, should she tell him where to take it?

My position is simple, we're all human, and make horrible mistakes. He claims to have bailed because of major uncertainties, and two years later feels more confident in committing to a life long relationship. So far, all of the other comments have suggested she run for the hills; but I disagree. If the groom were immature, uncertain, afraid, etc; good for him for bailing. He certainly could have gone about the whole thing in a MUCH more productive way; but before he said those vows, the words he himself wasn't sure he could commit to, he left. Again, I think it was a crappy way of handling the situation, but I do applaud him for standing up, and leaving; as opposed to simply going through the ceremony because he was expected to. How much better for them to have avoided a divorce, which would have been far more difficult to work through (what if they'd gotten married and already had kids?)

Hopefully he took those two years to really think about things, to me, it sounds like he has; and if that's the case, and the bride is able and willing to give it another go, why shouldn't she? Granted, therapy, counselling and other means of support are highly recommended for a successful reunion, but why not?

Good luck guys, I hope it works out. What do YOU think?

Black on Black

Black on Black

This isn't something you're going to find in any botique, you'll be lucky to see anything like it anywhere. 

I love these bags so dang much because of the texture. Color is important, yes, but nothing beats texture. I thoroughly enjoy using materials that make you feel something. Picking it up, you'll notice the weight of quality, layers, detail. Feel the cool metal rivets in the layered handle, and as drape the bag over your shoulder, you'll feel a perfect fit. Glide your hand across the quilted front and you'll notice the ridges and lines of the tooled faux leather, the crispness of the tule ribbon trim, and alternating softness of the crushed velvet. It's adventuresome, lovely, and truly one of a kind.

And, as always, we'll gladly accommodate special requests and love custom orders. At time of posting, this bag is still available; should it not be, or if you have preferences you'd like to be observed, drop us a line! Through Etsy, comments, or email at SarahGriffin143@gmail.com

The Beginning

I don't actually know when, or how, exactly, Lucky Lady started. Depending on how you look at it, it could have started in seventh grade, when I was stuck in home economics, sewing class, because I hadn't selected any 'cool' classes like my peers. Instead, I found a passion behind an old, moody, olive green sewing machine, with some horrible teddy bear fabric with cheesy pink hearts all over it. It really was horrible fabric, but I whipped out the first assignment so fast, I was well on my way to learning how to make a summer dress before the end of the semester. I loved it. Many, many years later, I found myself with a 4 1/2  year old and a terribly colicky newborn. After some research, and several attempts, my version of the 'ring sling' was born. Simple, incredibly simple, actually, but terribly effective. I still use the first one I made, even though I never went back and hemmed the end. That was over two years ago ;)  While carting my little, now smiling bundle around in this new contraption, I garnered a lot of interest. I started selling them. Another year goes by, and I toy with the idea of really having a home business. I sold several slings here and there, none really online, but I started thinking I just might try. I really started putting effort in to my little Etsy shop a year ago; it's taken a terribly long time to consider myself a real shop keeper. There is so incredibly much I have to learn yet; but I am so very proud of what Lucky Lady is today. We're just on the cusp of really going somewhere, I can feel it. We've spent these past six months working extremely hard to fine tune the business side of things, as well as build infrastructure, define our products, secure supplies, contacts, and so much more. Just beginning to learn the world of Blogging, along with Twitter, Pinterest, Picassa, Google +, Facebook, Instagram..... Ah! The list goes on!!! My dear husband will be joining the mix, in effort to provide our company the platform we need to really reach our potential. Until then, please do share with friends and family, if you know of anyone who'd like something only we can offer. We really do get excited over every single order. No kidding. I spent more time on a single hair flower than was necessary recently, but I was quite proud to put that one in the mail. We do that every time.  Thanks for reading :)
