KC Weddings Magazine Features Scarlett Garnet

We are delighted to share with you that KC Weddings Magazine is featuring a Scarlett Garnet necklace in this month's issue!! It's the Asymmetrical Chandelier piece pictured below which uses vintage chandelier crystals combined with antique brass look chain. It's on sale right now online! KC Weddings Magazine approached us because they wanted to include us in their vintage bridal jewelry article. We use a lot of vintage finds in our work and vintage is especially wonderful for bridal jewelry so we were a perfect fit. One of the custom features we offer our customers is that we can take a vintage item, like an old clip on earring or pin or a strand of their grandmother's pearls, and create new, modern jewelry out of it. We use vintage components in non-bridal as well, utilizing things like skeleton keys, military pins, mother of pearl buckles, etc. The Wedding Hive was also mentioned in this issue as well! Double press - yes!!!! They listed the Wedding Hive Blog as one of KC's top 3 local resources for brides to be. Several Hive members were listed in this issue so it's a nice pat on the back for all our hard work creating and maintaining the Wedding Hive.

Ric Rac Roundup

Scarlett Garnet has sold at Bon Bon Atelier since it's grand opening a few years ago. We're simply huge fans of Emily and Betsy, KC's super sister team, and love the amazing boutique they've created. Seriously one of our all time favorites, even sized up to the one's we've seen in LA, Chicago and other major cities. Nice work, ladies, always keeping it fresh and ahead of the rest. So imagine if the super sisters were to put on a craft show, you might get something truly awesome like the Ric Rac Roundup. Held at Californo's for the holiday shop, the summer Ric Rac Roundup was held outdoors in the Bon Bon Atelier parking lot. Scarlett Garnet has done both so far and plan to sign on bi-annually from now on. Thanks, ladies, for providing yet another awesome outlet for crafters. DIYers and artisans alike in the KC area.

The Foundrie

Our good friend and Renegade Craft Fair booth buddy, Shelah McClymont, owner of Destroyed By Design, is the brainchild for St. Louis' most progressive new store, The Foundrie. Located in Chesterfield Mall, the store was open from Black Friday until just after Christmas, one month of shopping indie for the holidays. What, you say? Indie shopping at a mall? Sheila used her ninja networking skills to gather 30+ of the most talented, progressive and creative independent designers from St. Louis, Kansas City, Chicago and LA to fill her store. Sheila's degree in Fashion Merchandising definitely shows in these pictures of The Foundrie, where she actually transformed a really boring mall shop into something that Anthropologie's merchandisers would envy. Great job, Sheila! Scarlett Garnet and Shi Shi Designs did a trunk show on December 12th and had a wonderful experience and sales. All our customers had wonderful things to say about the trunk show, the store and the quality and diversity of the product. We hope that Sheila opens her pop-up indie holiday shop every year! Congratulations to the success of The Foundrie, Sheila!!!
