We’re being visited in the office today by Xander’s fabulous and well behaved dog, Bea (seen here in our Fancy Dress Friday TLC family portrait). Bea’s visit is just the icing on the cake of a productive week here at Turtle Love Co., which included everything from social media conferences to officially announcing the winners of our first annual jewelry design contest!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On Monday we shared a photo from our vintage ring shoot at The Green Hand, a magnificent used book store in Portland, Maine. Michelle, the owner of The Green Hand, helped us choose a selection of beautiful antique hardcover books to photograph some of our vintage engagement rings on. Here is our Josephine Vintage Diamond Engagement Ring resting on the gorgeous green, blue, and gold cover of one of the books. Thanks again to Michelle for letting us explore her shop- it was the perfect backdrop for our antique engagement rings and we came away with some interesting books too!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Our most popular blog post this week is Alicia’s ode to The Big Lebowski entitled “How finding my inner Dude helped me love my wedding day: 5 easy steps.” In it, she offers tips for de-stressing by taking cues from the movie’s hero like, among other things, enjoying a game of bowling.

Our Currently Loving guest posts for the week came from Carly from Miss Teacups and Laura of Fore Front Fashion, who chose our Sterling Silver Wide Vine Ring and Vintage Art Deco Style Diamond Necklace as their respective favorites. Carly’s Country-chic themed post can be found here and Laura’s 1920s flapper inspired post is here.

Now, as a bonus, enjoy this photo of Bea elegantly modeling our Classic Floating Pearl Necklace with Red Silk!
