When I thought of monograms, I knew initials, but I came across a custom monogram I just had to try. Which is the definition of monograms, combining two or more initials to create one symbol. It's funny because when you do that with the initials of loved ones, you create a family. Whether it be two loved ones about to wed; husband and wife with their children; mothers and their children; or even the best of friends. Its an unbreakable bond, a unique symbol to represent you as a whole. This was my first shot at a custom monogram for Tracy, that included the initials of herself, C, J, and D. It was so great to be able to be a part of something so special in creating this piece. I hope to be able to make much more!
Here are some pieces that I have made.

Happy Friday Everyone!
Love preview was a hit! There were so many amazing and creative vendors that attended one if which who hosted. Victoria of Serum No5. She did a wonderful job on the event. There were so many great vendors that I'm so sad I didn't get a chance to do my own review and photos of everyone! I licked out because my sister did take photos of my booth, otherwise I would have ended up with none! So thank you so much sister! However, I'm a klutz and didn't get photos of the gorgeous model that showcased my jewelry!! (I know!!!)
Here was the coverage for my table.
That's as much as I got for my booth.
It's so great to have wonderful friends who come out to support you. Thank you guys!
Doing custom orders on the spot for my wonderful customers.
Working hard!
Got a picture with the amazing person who hosted this all and Viv from Papers and Peonies
A special thanks to my sister who helped me through the entire event. I would have probably died if she wasn't there. Lol.

So on a random search, I came across so many amazing outfits that came out of a men's dress shirt. I had to try it for myself! I wanted to make one for myself, but I didn't get to because I couldn't find the one I wanted. I took one of the shirts that my hubby was going to throw out, and fashioned it into a dress for my daughter with the help of a tutorial from danamadeit.com. She gives you a pretty thorough how to on making the dress! Trust me, I wish I had thought of this myself! SO, now I know I can do so many things with guy's old shirts! There is much more to be made guys! So many different styles, and options to choose from. Dress shirts aren't the only things that can be transformed! stay tuned for more!
I have to admit.. I am a sucker for simplicity. I find it amazing for people to be able to mix and match like it's nobody's business. But I feel I cannot do it for the life of me. So, sometimes, I just like to keep it simple.
The best part about this, it's also a look for less. You can find different ways on how to style it from Joann at lovefashionlivelife.com. She has pieced the items together just amazingly effortless.
So here's me, being as simple as I can and I absolutely love it!

I searched long and hard for the right setup for me. Tablescape isn't as easy as it looks. I tried my best to find what screamed TALIA!?!?! and this, is what I came up with!
The finds were amazing! I got the vintage samsonite suit case set from craigslist! Well, everything practically came from craigslist. LOL. Patience is a virtue! Let me tell you, you really have to be patient to get the right and best deal! Also, when you can, BARGAIN! =D
I had the great opportunity to make a custom piece for Chanel from ChanelFiles.com who put together this great setup! and also styled her personalized piece to perfection! Check her out at her blog and other media sites for great fashion tips to get you looking your best! ^_*

My first real booth/vendor event at the Gala held by Pop at Eat Shabu. It was great meeting so many other creative crafts people who love to share their creations with the world. Definitely some really great finds and buys! One of a kind vintage items, or handcrafted. Everything you can possibly think of to express yourself like no other. Check out the photos and links to all these amazing people!
Hi All!!
I'll be a vendor, selling some goodies at a charity event on Nov. 2. It's called Love Preview hosted by the amazingly talented, Victoria, from Serum No. 5 to help No Kid Hungry! It is also to support local brands and retailers. Please support the cause by purchasing pre-sale tickets to the event, but don't forget to select "crafted by talia" when purchasing your tickets! ^-^ I look forward to seeing you all there!

The Elephant Parade!! My sister said "lets go see the elephant parade!!" I did not expect this. It was beautiful and uberly cute!! I loved it!! It was done to raise awareness of the Asian Elephants. The Elephants were scattered around the grass and beach area making it like a walking parade! (obviously, we were doing the walking) It was well worth it, to enjoy such artwork and creativity not only by the artist herself but by local students who joined in, and painted their own elephants.
my fave! so qq!!
we weren't really prepared for the beach so we compromised. LOL.
always on your toes!
