YazBerry Donates Purse & Jewelry to Laura Baker School Auction

Recently I was invited to donate some of my creations to the Laura Baker School Gala Auction. I am honored to have received the invitation and wanted to share with you the goodies up for Auction. I even made a custom box out of a recycled record album jacket. My apologies for the poor photo quality, my cell phone camera is...fuzzy at best - I forgot to photograph this at home so in the car it was just before delivery.

Up for auction at the gala is a sage clutch made from recycled upholstery samples, lined with vintage polyester yardage in carrot orange. It features a snap closure and small, silk lined zipper pocket inside. To compliment this purse I have included a matching jewelry ensemble featuring earrings with mossy coral nuggets and glossy coral nuggets in warm oranges and salmons and a coordinating sea glass pendant in a soft sea foam green.

Honeysuckle: Pantone 2011 Color of the Year

"A Color for All Seasons
Courageous. Confident. Vital. A brave new color, for a brave new world. Let the bold spirit of Honeysuckle infuse you, lift you and carry you through the year. It’s a color for every day – with nothing “everyday” about it." - Pantone.com

I love this color, have been wearing and designing with it for years, and am pleased to share a few pieces from my collection of handmade & vintage goodies that are honeysuckle. Admitedly, I've always wanted to call this color salmon, or coral, but honeysuckle is a charming way of describing it as well. Here are links to the above featured honeysuckle YazBerry.
