We’ve got something we’d love to share!  Two of our newest finds from our LoveFeast Shop!  The LOVE and SAVOR necklaces were made especially with LoveFeast Table in mind.  You see we LOVE to SAVOR a beautiful life.  That is the theme here at our blog, LoveFeast Table ~ we hope you find a little inspiration here for your journey.

And something to help you remember LOVE ~

The antique brass hand stamped LOVE necklace is 16″ long with a 2″ antique brass extender and lobster clasp. The included gems are moonstone and tiger eye.

And another little something to remind you to SAVOR ~

Little did we know when we started our LoveFeast Shop venture that we would be so caught up in jewelry!  But, who we happened to meet along our journey (we first met artist Liz Oie at our Spark & Style blogger event) and their passion for their work (see our visit to Liz’s studio) got us caught up in the moment.  This fall we asked Liz to interpret our brand LoveFeast Table in a special collection made exclusively for LoveFeast Shop.  We are happy when we can share something beautiful with you!

These pearls are from our new collection aren’t your mother’s pearls!  Or Barbara Bush’s either!  They are a modern take on a classic ~ freshwater pearls strung on black, chocolate brown, gray or distressed saddle leather.  This is the most versatile of pieces!  Gather a few long stands around your neck for a boho chic look.

Or, double a single strand for a classic and hip choker style look.  The pearl button clasp is incorporated into the design.

Wrap approximately 5 times around your wrist for a chunky beautiful pearl wrapped cuff.

This collection was designed with mix and matching in mind!  Earrings feature oxidize sterling silver, 24k vermeil gold, fresh water pearls, vintage links and turquoise.

The bracelets feature recycled Roman glass, 24k gold vermeil discs, fresh water pearls, pyrite, sterling silver and charms.

This is a very special piece.  This Roman glass beaded necklace has a one of a kind antique Byzantine coin.  The Byzantine Empire coin dates between 600 – 900 AD that varies with each necklace.  The 24 k gold vermeil discs are just the right touch to play against the antique coin.

Also by Liz Oie and a LoveFeast Shop classic, is the Mother’s Tree Of Life necklace as seen on The Pioneer Woman’s and the Hollywood Houswife’s blogs.  It is a special and unique gift idea.  The Mother’s Tree Of Life necklace is made of the highest quality sterling silver or gold available, with real gems included to signify the birth stones of children or grandchildren.  This would be a perfect gift and treasured keepsake for your mother, wife, grandmother, sister or friend.

There’s more gift ideas in our LoveFeast Shop ~ We hope you find something beautiful and inspiring!

We are showing you another peek of our Mother’s Tree Of Life necklace!  We don’t want you to miss this “golden” opportunity to get a chance at winning this beautiful treasure!  This necklace is the perfect gift for any mother, sister or grandmother.  It is hand crafted by artist Liz Oie and is 14 k. gold with real gemstones to honor the birth of children.  It is a special piece that would make a beautiful heirloom.

We hadn’t found anything we truly loved to show the birth’s of our children (Kristin has 5 and Chris Ann has 4).  When we discovered this artist not only did we know we wanted a necklace for ourselves, but knew it was the perfect piece to add to our LoveFeast Shop.  The necklace comes in silver, gold and also featuring turquoise.

What I Wore Wednesday is a fun link up party over at the blog, The Pleated Poppy.  We’ve participated in it once before and when we feel the inspiration I am sure we’ll do it again.   Tonight, I was inspired by the outfit I just picked up from Old Navy a few hours ago.

Shopping Old Navy around this time of year is a regular habit for me.  I like to grab some festive tees and dresses for my gang.  For the past several years we have celebrated the 4th in Colorado with my husband’s sister and family.  We take our kids from the suburbs and let them go wild in the west climbing hay bales, shooting guns, 4 wheeling, boating and fishing.  After about an hour and at least one margarita and under the shadow of the Grand Mesa I loose tract of my suburban ways, the time, my kids and their bath schedules (does swimming count?) and my to do list and find myself relaxing and enjoying the simple things in life, our kids, campfires and family.

The fact is this this Old Navy outfit is a little bit more city than country, but it was too fun to pass on.  (And, I’ll bring cutoffs to change into.)  Here’s the down low:  Skirt reg.$29.94 on sale for $20.58 – Tank $5.00 on sale for $3.57.  So, total outfit was around $25.  Husband pointer (free of charge) do not tell your wife she looks like a flag.  I prefer to call this look “flag festive”.  So, here’s your 4th of July outfit inspiration ~ for What I Wore Wednesday.

*Old Navy did not sponsor this post – ya that bums me out too.  Flag festive inspiration – all mine!

And so we didn’t.  Kristin made hers…

And, I made mine…

On our first evening at the GE Momsperience we were treated to hat making led by the lovely ladies from Dee’s Crafts.  What a treat.

It was fun to get to know everyone’s personal style and flair right off the bat!

Word on the street or at least in the 21c Museum Hotel is that later on that evening two crazy hat ladies were caught in the art gallery mixing with the artwork!

Then, on the following evening all the lovely blogging ladies were able to enjoy a dinner and a bit of horse racing history at Churchill Downs.

This was our first time at Churchill Downs and we made a promise to come back and watch a race some day.

Then we landed in our beds ~ tired out from painting the town red!

Here’s to Fancy Hats!

Last Saturday night Kristin and I hosted our 5th BlogLove™ event.  This was our 3rd event in Minnesota.  Our BlogLove™ events bring bloggers, businesses and brands together for what we hope is an inspiring time.  Kristin and I were so happy to have so many guests join us for BlogLove™ Spark & Style!

DJ Kane kept the Houndstooth energy popping!!

Thanks to our models who worked their own “Spark & Style” walking the room in Houndstooth fashion.  Amber from Houndstooth, dressed the “Spark & Style” blogger models who were:  Missy ~ Marketing Mama, Jennifer ~ 30 Days of Honey, Jilene ~ Be Put Together, Kristin & Chris Ann ~LoveFeast Table, Kristin ~ High Heels And A Hammer, Kara ~ LaunchHER, Sasha ~ Fabuliss. These gals all have tons of their own spark & style!  And, they were gracious to help us out!!

The evening was upbeat and fun!  There were familiar faces and new faces.  We hope you all got to meet someone new and reconnect with a bloggy friend in real life!

Thank you to Christina representing Therapon, who sponsored our evening networking event.  Therapon is a clinical grade skin care line that knows that beauty and quality comes from within.  We were excited to be able to shared the quality of their product that we believe will give you that outside spark!  We were inspired by all the spark and style reppresented at this BlogLove event.

We hope your time at BlogLove™ left you inspired as well!  (Cristina ~ Therapon, Kristin & Chris Ann)

Today I went over to Houndstooth Boutique the location for our next BlogLove™ event, “Spark & Style”.  I needed to go over last minute details with Amber (the owner of Houndstooth) and of course check out the fashion.  Later I realized that this would be the perfect time to link up with an a popular blog party called What I Wore Wednesday over a Lindsey’s blog The Pleated Poppy.  Hi Lindsey!  These are some of the looks I tried on today at Houndstooth.  (Sorry the pics are out of focus a tad, Amber was not acquainted with my camera…but I think you get the jest of what they were like!)  The day defiantly put me in the mood for spring!

Amber shared with me a little bit about what it trending for spring!  High waist-ed jeans ladies!  With flares!  Silk buttoned down shirts, unusual graphics, bohemian florals and shades of nude.  In accessories ~ feathers, turquoise, natural stones and crystal accents.  Leather wrap bracelets are going strong!

We’re looking forward to seeing you at BlogLove™ Amber is giving all guests 20% off (exception: sale and Oie Jewelry).  We are having a special Oie Jewelry Trunk show too.  Bring your wallets ~ you can always get a new handbag at Houndstooth!

When have you last rocked a glittering vintage pantsuit?

The details on this dress were beautiful just like the gal who wore it.  Robin ~ Pensieve, brought glamor to Blissdom 2011.

And~The Beverlies…brought hats.

Last year at Blissdom I met Laura, via her stylish dress.  This year I walked across the hall to meet the women behind this dress, Liberty ~ 16 Ball In The Air, turns out she co-writes her blog with her bff too.  I was sure glad I was looking for great style and found an opportunity to meet her!

Speaking of great style.  Check out this amazing electric blue purse seen on fashionista Allison ~ Petite Elephant.  She rocked a chic outfit from head to toe from White House Black Market.

These lovely ladies are Jessica ~Allora Handmade and Jeannett ~Life Rearranged wearing beautiful red rosettes from Allora Handmade.

Last year I started the tradition of Fancy Friday Blissdom Style while looking for fancy at Blissdom.  It has created an opportunity to introduced myself to and meet great people.  But, these stylish women are more than what they wear.  They are bloggers who know how to work more than just a pretty dress~

(Robin ~ Pensieve at Blissdom ~ circa 2010)
