The Catherine Bracelet DNA

Goodmorning! It's a warm rainy day here in Greenville, South Carolina and I'm finishing up a load of Helen & Floyd's bracelets to take to Clothing Warehouse Downtown Greenville, on Main Street. I met Jamie, the owner, while working at New York and Company. After he admired the vintage look of Helen & Floyd's and heard the whole saga of the salvaged lace, ribbon... etc., he asked me to bring them down to the shop and work out a deal with them down there. (I'll letchya know how it goes.)
     Most of these bracelets have very unique stories behind the products used to make them, which gives them a beautiful, sweet nature. I may never know if the individual purchasing H&F knows the story behind their bracelet unless they read my blog, but it is my high hopes that they find out so they might have their own little story to tell!
   Last night I finished up the Catherine Bracelet, which was a dual effort between my sister Catherine, and I. This lovely bracelet's DNA is made up of my grandmother, Helen's lace, a repurposed beaded prom dress from a thrift store, vintage thread from Helen's stash, stitched together with vintage needles!
