And the Creation Begins...

Here's the first pair of earrings I made with the vintage.  I love the length and they go with everything.  They definitely add a much needed splash of color (and a dash of interesting) to my heather gray car coat...

This pair is $42 on the website now!

Oh, Vintage. How I Adore You...

I was running late the other day.  I had to get home to get fancy for a party, but when I passed by Ashley's place, I HAD to stop.  I had a sudden urge to buy vintage!  It paid off (for both you and me), because look at these beauties!  I'm so excited about these awesome and unique pieces.  You'll see these little darlings and more at my Holiday Soiree on December 3rd at 6:30 p.m.  Shelley's throwing the party at her amazingly beautiful abode on the hill.  I hope you can all come, and please don't feel pressure to buy!  Just come and hang out with me.  Oh how I would love to see you there.  

discount, Discount, DISCOUNT!

My website (micahyancey.etsy.com) is UPDATED!  It's taken me a while to get everything in order, but I now officially have the site updated for the Holidays.  Of course, it's always changing because my inventory keeps changing.  I'm sure I'll be updating it again, soon, but this is certainly a start for anyone who is ready to shop ('till they drop, as the saying goes...love that saying...yessssssss).

Please take a gander if you have a moment.  If you're reading this blog, I'd like to offer you a 15% discount (bolded for effect) off of anything you purchase through the site between now and December 2nd, 2008.  

No, this is not because I think no one is reading.  Well, maybe it is...  NEVERTHELESS!  It certainly benefits you if you're here (and if you are a lover of my jewels).  To get your fancy discount, please email me at micahyancey@gmail.com with the names of the piece(s) you'd like to purchase and I will make sure your discount is included when you're paying via the website.  

Thank you so much, One and All, for your amazing support and for at least pretending to enjoy my jewels.  I love you for that.

I'm A Fi-Yancey!

On Friday, November 8th, the funniest man...my favorite man...asked me to marry him.  I said YES!  He gave me the most beautiful gift when he asked me- a diamond ring.  I love him with my whole heart and soul.  The giant smiles and belly laughs he's brought to my life have made me the happiest of the happies.  Kevin Rust got on one knee in an adorable bed & breakfast in Fredricksburg, Texas.  He grabbed my left hand and said, "Micah, I love you very much.  I want to honor you for the rest of my life.  Will you marry me?"  It was a beautiful moment I will never forget.  My wonderful eeeb, there on his knee...tears in his eyes...asking me to spend my life with him.  

It was of course a moment (and a weekend) I will never ever forget and I look forward to honoring my baybee for the rest of my days.  Cheers to happiness!  Cheers to laughs.  Cheers to LOVE.  I love you, Kevin.  Cheers to YOU.  Love, BB

Annie, Get Your [Plastic] Gun

Not only is she as sweet as sugar, Annie Ray is an incredibly talented photographer.  The Austin American-Statesman recently dedicated the cover of XLent, the newspaper's weekly entertainment guide, to Miss Ray with a beautiful story to follow of her incredible skills.  If you've seen Annie's work, you know that nothing about this amazing gal's work is average.  Her shots are highly creative and she urges her subjects to let loose as she captures uncommon, ridiculous, and heartfelt moments on camera. 

This is my friend, Kevin Newsum.  Annie took this shot at a Yelp.com party and I love it.

Here's Yours Truly with Miss Candy Rae Curphey of ENVY magazine...

My b.f., Kevin Rust, looks too cute in this pic.  Annie's props are top notch.

I really love this one, too!

You get the point.  Annie is greatness.  

I'm sure you'll be seeing her in the Austin area more and more.  If you are graced with the privilege of 

having your photo taken by Annie, take her up on the offer. 

She's one phabulous photographer.
