My Secret Hiding Place - Daisy Pocket Garter

"Shh - don't tell anyone I have a secret little hiding place right in the back of me  :)

It's a pocket sewn on.   The bride can keep her lucky coin in it or if she wanted to , I could have had a larger pocket made which could fit some lipstick or maybe her Money, ID and Credit card. "

That's what the little pocket garter has to say.   

Pocket garters are so cute, and functional as well.  Perfect for that lucky little coin or maybe an heirloom button from grandma...  Besides the small pocket, larger pockets work well to hold items you may want handy at the night club but don't want to carry your purse.  Why not keep it right there concealed in a place ONLY YOU will know about.  

FRONT  -  Daisy Garter with Swarovski Crystal Heart hanging down.

BACK -  Custom made pocket for a lucky coin.
This is a style 02 custom garter - you may order yours at the style 02 page.

The Garter above was purchased by Juliane.  Here is what she had to say about it.


BEFORE IT ARRIVED TO HER:  

Dear Victoria Joanne,

I was two days away from chewing my nails.  Would the garter turn out, be made, be shipped, or would I have to rush around trying to find a replacement?  Then your shipping announcement came and now I will mob the mail carrier for a few days in happy anticipation.  The pictures of the garter are absolutely adorable, better than I imagined and PERFECT.  

I can't wait to get the package.

It was a pleasure dealing with you and your service is outstanding.  I will notify you of the garter's arrival, and I will be more than pleased to recommend you and your service to anyone who'll listen.  It is rare these days to "get what you pay for" but you seem to be an exception,

Thank you so much, 

Juliane ~ KS


AFTER SHE  RECEIVED IT:

Dear Victoria Joanne,

The garter arrived today, and it is every bit as cute and pretty as the pictures showed.  I have to force myself to leave it alone, because it is so pretty and fun, as well as functional.  The coin pocket is going to come in so handy!  I am grinning from ear to ear and can't wait to surprise my brother's bride with this special token.   I am sure it will become an instant heirloom.  

Thank you for including your card as well, I will surely recommend you to others who are looking for an exquisite token to keep the memory of a special event.  Your service and craftsmanship are outstanding.

Very gratefully yours, 

Juliane ~ KS

I have updated all the custom order product pages to include a drop-down menu for donating to the Ten Minas Project.

There are options that vary from a simple $5.00 donation to a generous $300 donation.

ALL Donations will be matched!  So if you add $10 donation to your order The total being donated to the Project will be $20 and if you donate $300 the total donated will be $600.   Together we can blow this thing out of the water.   But I can't do it alone.  So please be generous and give today.

The donations will be going to benefit two places in Springfield MA.   half will go to the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center and half will go to theSpringfield Rescue Mission.  

Ten Minas Project - God has Changed my Life by Changing my Mind!

I am so grateful to God for all the wonderful and amazing changes he is making in me.   He truly is changing my life and by changing my mind... the way I feel, think and react to life circumstances.   Hope you have experienced his life changing Love as well.  And if you haven't I hope that someday you WILL.  :)

Because of my gratitude I would like to participate in the Ten Midas  Project which my church charged us with yesterday.   Our pastor gave out $1000 cash  ($10.00 per person ) to anyone who wanted to participate.  We have all been given this money to put it to work for God.    This fundraiser is based on

The Parable of the Ten Minas

You can click that link above to read it if you like.

Scroll down to read more details about the Ten Minas Project

The basic premise of this parable is those who can be entrusted with little can be entrusted with much.   I look forward to blowing this out for God.   The specific personal  proceeds that each person brings will be secret in the congregation, but I will be telling you all the encouraging stats for my personal $10.00 part.   It is my hope and dream to not only double or triple but to add on at least TWO zeros to the end of that 10.   Yes My goal is to raise at LEAST $1000.00   

If you are a child of God and want to participate in this amazing and glorifying en-devour please make a donation below -  OR   if you plan on ordering a wedding garter please hold off and donate at that time.  Because there will be a  SPECIAL BLESSING - All donations that come in with any garter order will be matched 100%     So if you donate $10.00 -  Then $20.00 will go into the fundraiser ... if you give $100.00 then $200.00 will go into the fundraiser total.  

I will be updating my wedding garter shopping cart pages with donation boxes this week.   I look forward to seeing God Move the hearts and minds of his people, and to growing this fundraiser to amazing heights over the next 14 weeks.

Around mid September we will be turning in our donations and ALL proceeds that I raise will be going to benefit two places in Springfield MA.   half will go to the Springfield Pregnancy Care Center and half will go to the Springfield Rescue Mission.  Both are Christian based programs to help the community in such worthy and life saving ways.  

MellowKing Music Inspired wedding garter

Received a fun custom garter order a couple months ago.  It was for a nice fellow named Chris.  He ordered a Yellow garter with Green lettering to say  - MellowKing   Music  embroidered onto the satin band.  He was a total pleasure to work with.   Each step of the way he was communicating with me to let me know if what I was first envisioning was correct and then later if what I created for him was correct.  I'm very happy to say he was definitely pleased.  :)

Before Creation -  I gave him the description of what I was going to create for him... this is what he had to say:    "Wow. Exactly as I chose from the website. Looks perfect." 

Before Creation -  I send him the order confirmation of details such as wording, coloring and style etc...   this is what he said:   "Thanks again!!! Can't wait to see them when they arrive. I am recommending you to everyone I know."


After Creation -Later once the custom wedding garters were created I emailed Chris to let him know they were done.   This is what he replied back:   "I will most definitely spread the word!! You are a delight to work with, I cannot wait to see the garters!!!"


After Creation -   I emailed him photos of what I created  - he then said:   "OOOOH!!!, I just saw the picture!!!!  WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!, so beautiful!!! SO beautiful!!, Thank you again!!"


So I would say this was a home run in the game of custom wedding garters  :)   Working with Chris was definitely a highlight in my work week.
Here is how they turned out.    Fun little garters  :)  here's his website

Style 01 garters -  you may order you own style 01 at the garter shop here.  

Military Name Tape Keepsake Garter and Toss

Something Borrowed

Somthing Blue...

All sewn into one. 

Client "borrowed" her fiance's

uniform name tape, and had me

sew it onto her blue garter.  See more images below.

All three garters above are style 02.  You may purchase your own style 02 garter at this link.  
the reason there are two of the same garter above is because one is for tossing and the other is to keep.
Some people just can't bear to toss either garter - especially if they are different.  So they end up having 3
garters made so that they can toss one of the duplicates and still keeps the original.  Great idea!

Testimonial:

OMG!!! IT'S BEAUTIFUL!!  Thank you for the goosebumps!! Thank you so much for doing this. Please add this to your gallery for military garters. I am eager to see it in person. I know it was a rushed order but I thank you again for taking on the task. I have two other friends who are getting married soon, and I will be sure to show them what beautiful creations you have done for me. Honestly I might send you another name tape of his to make another one, but it would be more of a display or scrap book piece.

Again thank you for your time and effort on my order. I now officially have my something borrowed and something blue!! Borrowed being his name tape and well obviously where the blue plays in!!

Thank you, thank you, thank you...     Have an awesome day/evening/week...

Victoria ~ Maryland


It was an honor and a pleasure to work with Victoria.   I'm so glad I was able to make her wishes into a reality.  She shipped me the name tape ASAP and I got to work.  She gave me creative freedom - her only request was the shape of the garter and to to use the name tape with shades of blue. I love when my clients trust me to give me the freedom, it's a real compliment on their faith in my artistic and creative abilities.   Here are more pix from the Military Name Tape project. :)
