the morning after...

*insert deep breath, long exhale*
we made it.

Sarah and I, thanks to numerous helpers, successfully pulled off our very first Isabella show last night. With over 60 people invited, we were (especially me) nervous/excited/stressed/anxious. We worked until the very last second on producing as much inventory as possible, making sure displays were just right and bedazzling our 'hired help' with the appropriate Isabella piece for their chosen outfit. When the first guest walked in we took a deep breath and let it happen.

With the ideal first party crowd we welcomed old and new neighbors alike, church friends, dear friends, friends of friends, and everyone in between. The next thing i knew it was 10:30 and the last guest was out the door with her Isabella gift bag in hand.

Due to the fantastic home of Mary B. we were able to display all of our pieces perfectly with plenty of room for the ladies to try on, flaunt, and pick which Isabella piece HAD to be theirs. A big, big thank you goes to the Bos. family for their hospitality and support, as well to the fantastic women who attended our party and were so very encouraging and gracious to Sarah and I.

We have learned the tremendous amount of detail that goes into throwing a party, and are anxious to do it all over again. But first, we must put our pieces on etsy.com (i promise that will be done this weekend! search: 'JewelryIsabella') and start making everything from our orders last night!

Pictures will be coming soon from the party thanks to the wonderful Allie B!
