It’s been a crazy couple of weeks.  With the re-launch of our Etsy Shop (thanks for all of the support), prepping our e-commerce site (launching July 6th), and all of our other shenanigans I’ve barley been able to catch my breath (sorry for the lack of blog postings).  Anyway, I thought I’d catch all you loves up on what’s been happening in “Martha’s” world via my favorite app…Instagram.  xoxo

I couldn’t very well do a Waiting On Martha Wedding Week without talking about jewels.  And what better jewels for the bride, bridesmaids, mother of the bride, basically you’re entire wedding party, than pearls?  Some of my favorite, and oh so reasonably priced pearls come from ML Pearl Designs. 

ML Pearl Designs was dreamed up by Angela Martin-Moushon and Veronica Jensen-Libke who wanted to present a collection of pearls and semi-precious stone jewelry after falling in love with the pearl markets in Shanghai, China.  With an idea of offering real pearl designs at a fraction of the cost to friends and family, the positive response was so overwhelming ML Pearl Designs has now grown into a full blown business.  The beauty of it all is even with all of their success they’ve still been able to maintain their original goal of offering stunning, one of a kind pieces at a fraction of the retail price.

You can find ML Pearl Designs on the web or in many high end boutiques in the Denver, Chicago and Peoria area.  But the most fun is having ML Pearl Designs host a Pearl Party for you and your nearest and dearest.  Friends, wine, cheese, and pearls sounds like perfection to me!  

So here are my personal favs, and did I mention we’re giving one of these gems away?  Keep reading for all the details!  xoxo

So many fun clasp choices

ML Pearl Design‘s Long Strands

So here’s the deal…since it is wedding week I wanted to gift one very lucky reader with something fabulous from ML Pearl Designs that could easily be worn to the wedding or everyday.  So without further ado we’re thrilled to be giving away, probably my favorite design…the 4 strand Pearl and chain bracelet.  You know I have a soft spot for bracelets and I’m particularly obsessed with this bauble because it’s classic, but with a very modern and chic feel.  I wear mine with jeans and a tee or all dressed up with my LBD (little black dress).  So check out the pics below (try not to drool) and see how you can get your hands on this fabulous piece of arm candy.  xoxo
