Alana Lilie Designs Review and Giveaway

I have a fondness for unique jewelry. So, when I found Alana Lilie Designs on the internet, I was thrilled. The custom photo sterling jewelry immediately caught my eye, and as I explored the site further, I found several pieces that I added to my wish list.

The artist behind Alana Lilie Designs is Alana Lilie of Austin, Texas. Read on to learn more about her:
After the birth of my daughter Anna, I had to return to teaching. I wanted to carry a piece of Anna with me, so I made a photo charm so that I could wear her picture around my neck. Every time I wore the charm, I would get so many compliments and lots of "where did you get this?" reactions. When I told the person I had made it, they would request that I make one for them too! With that...Voila!... Alana Lilie Designs was born!

I almost always have some creative project going on, whether it be sewing, knitting, photography, you name it, I have probably done it! This one just happens to be so much fun! The wonderful part is that there are always new necklace and bracelet designs to create and the possibilities are limited by my imagination alone!

My goal with Alana Lilie Designs is to do something I enjoy and then pass it along to other mothers to enjoy, as well as other family members. My favorite description of what I do is "I create jewelry designed to preserve the special moments in life that will linger in our hearts forever..."

I also enjoy shopping and want to offer other unique gifts here at Alana Lilie Designs to make it a "one stop shop" for all of your gift needs. I strive to provide quality products at fair, reasonable prices.


I contacted Alana and inquired about a blog giveaway, and she readily accepted. Additionally, she sent me a stunning Square Photo Pendant to review. The quality of Alana Lilie Designs' work is exceptional. The pendant of my sons far exceeded my expectations. I also loved the little touch of the Swarovski crystal beads and Mother of Pearl attached to the bottom. Now that I have seen the care and detail that Alana puts into her designs, I am wanting to order one of the Sterling Photo Rings as well.

Take a look at the beautiful sterling custom photo jewelry offered by Alana Lilie Designs. I am certain you will find something to add to your wish list.

Photo Ornaments
photo ornamentFirst, it's the last day to enter the free handcrafted table!Don't forget- it's really nice!!


Have I ever told you that my first real job was working at a Hallmark store in high school? Amazing how things always seem to come full circle! Anyway, anyone who's shopped in a Hallmark store knows how big of a deal ornaments are and I'm willing to bet that most of the store employees have a thing for ornaments as well. I have a few favorites (some Hallmark keepsakes, some not) that I'm always looking for on my parents tree—there is a set of Nutcracker characters that I adore and my favorite homemade one is a little gold ring that has a picture of me at about 3 years old, embellished with a tiny doily. It's the best.

I was reminded of that ornament when I looked at the website for a company that creates very similar keepsakes to my photo ornament, (minus the doilies). Alana started the company
Alana Lillie Designs soon after she had her daughter Anna. When she returned to teaching, she made herself a photo charm to wear with a picture of her daughter Anna on it.  People kept asking her where she got it and the business was born! Alana also knits and sews, and this company is really just another outlet for her creativity. I'm particularly enjoying the pewter photo ornamentsfor the holidays, as well as jewelry and other photo gifts.

I didn't realize until just now that it's really great to always be able to find that snapshot of my smaller self on our tree. Sort of makes me want to put one of my grown up self on there as well!
