Fall has finally hit So Cal and I couldn't be more excited! I've found five beautiful Etsy finds that are perfect for fall.

2. Sitka Spruce Earrings - Very cute!

PEARLS

I mentioned in my post here that my wonderful friend and her husband are renewing there wedding vows in November.  I'm going to be designing and creating the bride's necklace and she wants it filled with pearls.   Her dress is all lace and will look even more beautiful and elegant paired with a pearl necklace.  I've found 10 stunning pearl necklaces from talented Etsy artisans to help us design the perfect piece for her. Take a look at these beautiful Swarovski pearl wedding necklaces in all these shops!
