.oh miss mabel is officially open!!

Hizzah!!
I thought this day would never come!
I am terribly sorry my opening date was ,oh, 7
days late! Ha. I'm starting to realize that those two
little monsters of mine delay me quite a bit!!
Anywho--

I have a bunch of new items posted in my shop
and some old ones from .cute as a button.

And you may ask
"Chantel, why change your shop's name?"
And the answer to that is, I simply wanted
something that was a little bit more personal.
Whenever I hear "cute as a button", I think of little kid
cutesy stuff. I don't really mak
e anything like that!
=]

I really enjoy making classy, vintage inspired jewelry
and I felt that I needed a name that reflected that.
Why .oh miss mabel?
My family has called me Mabel since I was a little girl,
and it reminds me of my grandmother and all of the
beautiful jewelry she had.
