What a wonderful day in Freeport, Maine looking at wedding rings! 
(and how Brown Goldsmiths saved my ring)



I met up with Amber & Kathryn (of Sweetest Thing Weddings Event, Floral & Design) at Brown Goldsmiths.  The visit/tour was part of  Nolan and Laura’s prize package as the winning contestants of The 2011 Real Maine Wedding of the Year!  Nolan & Laura’s task =  choose 3 wedding bands they love…and then the online voting begins. (the public makes the final wedding ring selection for the couple!!)

I have my fingers crossed tight that the “make your own” wedding ring will win. There is a studio on the second floor with all sorts of tiny tools and big gadgets AND it is open to any couple
who wish to make their very own wedding rings in Maine…

…not just “design” but actually put on an apron and with your very own hands “make” a ring!!!

While we were looking around, Brown Goldsmiths offered to clean our jewelry…I happily passed my ring over…and thank goodness I did! I had three loose diamonds! They saved my ring’s day.  Thank You!!!

In honor of Maine Wedding Podcast’s episode 6 with The L Factor
…I am posting this iPhone video my son Evan and I made when
we had our very first haircut at The L Factor!


You can listen to the podcast here or on our site :)

episode 6 (part 1) (15:14)
The L Factor



This was the first video project that Evan (10) and I had worked on together.  I love his eye.  This hair cut was a big one for him.  He had been growing his hair out for years and was thinking he was ready for a shorter hair cut…in baby steps.  He had about 8″ cut off in the fall which left his hair at his shoulders.  A few months later he was ready to go shorter and I was ready to go to The L Factor! Evan was really nervous and almost changed his mind on the drive to the salon.  Once we arrived he was excited and let them choose what would look best…in the end he LOVED his haircut.  And I Loved mine!!
