Lucinda's Quest – Revisited

Friday, October 23rd, 2009

I have been remiss in posting about my efforts to find the perfect dress for Laura’s wedding. The wedding has come and gone, I was present and attired in a lovely gown. Back to the efforts. After spending hours in fruitless search at the mall (both Cool Springs and Green Hills) as well as online I was was feeling despondent. Are there no more pretty dresses for women with less than perfect figures? Frankly, there’s a lot of ugly out there. Finally inspiration hit. I have a friend who is a fashion designer here in Tennessee, Olia Zavozina. We’ve done trunk shows for her in our shop and supplied our jewelry for her fashion photo sessions. I asked her to create a dress for me for the wedding. She came to the shop with her fabrics and Alexis, Laura and I chose some fabric and voila! a dress is created. Have to tell you, I felt like Cinderella. Imagine the scene where all of the critters are making her dress for the ball. In my case it was Olia, Tamara (her seamstress), Alexis and Laura. I just stood while beauty was made. Ok, I got to hold the mirror due to a lack of birds.

This was a fairly painless way to get a dress. Certainly less painful than running from store to store and not finding anything great or even good. Laura created this necklace for me to wear with this gown. Then Olia adjusted the neckline to compliment the necklace. How cool is that? This was definitely and Adornments wedding! I was soooo adorned. Wait until you see the finished ensemble! Thank you Olia and Laura for making me feel beautiful.

And we're finally open!!

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Lest you start to think that we’ve abandoned you all or succumbed to laziness due to our recent lack of postage…let me reassure you that we have not forgotten our loyal blog followers!! We’ve merely been trapped under heavy piles of lumber behind buckets of paint.. But we’re finally free again!!! So we invite you to view our journey from upstairs at the Factory at Franklin to our shiny, new location just off the commons area- DOWNSTAIRS (yes, still at the Factory)!!

So, just in case you for some unknown reason were unable to visit us previously, this is what the shop used to look like..

And this is what the new space looked like before its magical transformation into Adornments-land.

Of course, this just wouldn’t do! It all had to go!

Women at Work!

Nothing says construction like a girl posing with a ladder in front of a shop covered in brown paper.

The first thing to go- the black wall!

The painting crew!

Thankfully our families were willing to chip in to help us out!! Thanks everyone!!!

So, finally, after much painting, constructing, organizing, etc… Voila!
