Kitchen Cabinet Hardware Upgrades

For 11 years I have hated my kitchen. The 90s era cabinets that I can't even fit my plates in. The white tile floor that shows all the dirt and doesn't match the rest of the kitchen. The wall paint that doesn't match the cabinets or the floor. The layout. The lack of light. You name it and I … [Read more...]

Yes, I DO have a friend in the diamond business!

 Thanks to @archerinternational for helping me make sure that my grandmother’s engagement ring and wedding band were up to par for wearing. This set was purchased in the 1940s and had worn thin on the bottom. She died this past August from COVID and I wanted to wear her wedding set to keep her near. 

My father also gave me an add-a-link bracelet for a wedding gift almost 16 years ago. He died soon after. Archer has worked with me over the years to make a mold of the link so that when I want to add links I can. I’ve got about 5 more links to go for the bracelet to be complete with links all the way around.

Archer has been a great friend to my family for probably 30 years. They’ve helped my brother custom make an engagement ring for his wife. They are fabulously priced on repairs such as sizing rings up/down, broken O rings, etc. 

I love my super friendly Archer family!  #ArcherJewelry #ArcherInternational #Jewelry #WhiteGold #AtlantaJeweler #AtlantaFineJewelry #AtlantaApparelMart #Diamonds #GrandmothersJewelry

Hey y'all! I'm Karen, an Atlanta based purveyor of Southern sass. I'm an Indiana Jones & Anthony Bourdain wannabe. I'm introverted and usually found with my nose in a book and pen/pencil in hand. I'm addicted to yoga, lip gloss, dumplings, noodles, and have an intense love for Scotland and Paris. I work in a library but my side hustle is teaching about safer skincare and cleaner cosmetics. It's been said I'm a little bit country and a little bit rock 'n roll. Read More…
