This giveaway is now closed.

1. Jessica, the owner/designer of Allora Handmade | 2. lovely rosettes ♥ | 3. Modern Pearl rosette statement necklaces | 4. Gussy wearing rosette bud earrings in mustard

*

Jessica is a sponsor to the Gussy Sews community and is welcoming February with a fun, 5-question interview about her gorgeous product, her gorgeous family, and what inspires her. Twice now I’ve been blessed to be able to hug Jess in person. She is a wonderful business woman and adds so much to the handmade community.

The interview ~

Share with us a little bit about yourself, your family & your handmade shop.
I am a thirty-something wife and mom to the most beautiful family ever. (not biased at all.) I love to laugh and smile, to create and nurture creativity, and I love my (crazy) life. My husband decided to go back to school about 2 1/2 years ago to be able to provide for our growing family and he graduates in April (yay!) and will continue on to law school in the fall. We have 2 boys (Owen and Henry) who are ALL boy and keep us very busy with their 2 and 3 year old antics. They are full of love and life (and cars and trains and dirt.)

I started my shop a year into our back-to-school adventure when our savings ran out and part-time jobs were hard to come by. I knew I wanted to stay at home with my boys and decided on a whim to sell things I’d already been making for myself and as gifts. I had NO idea what was awaiting for me in this wonderful handmade world and feel so blessed for the way I’ve been embraced here. I spend most of my days managing my household and my online world – rolling rosettes and answering emails while changing diapers and breaking up fights. I love beautiful things, and have so much respect for the artists who create them. I blog about my adventures as a mom/wife/entrepreneur over here. I love ice cream and the color yellow and think winter is highly overrated.

How do you keep yourself inspired?
You’re going to see my right brain come out for a minute here: I find I have to keep myself inspired in two ways. 1) I have to stay artistically inspired. and 2) I have to stay motivated and inspired. The first is easy. I am usually artistically inspired when I get bored. If I am getting tired of my current accessory choices, I know it is time to shake things up a little and get the creative juices flowing. I am inspired by the things I want in my own wardrobe and perhaps I’m selfish in admitting that I design for myself. The second inspiration comes from a few sources. I am so inspired by women who are trying their best to contribute to their family incomes and I get really excited to share what I am learning and doing with them. Having said that, I am most often moved to progress and continue by my desire to provide for my family and ease my husband’s burden while he is concentrating on school.

Just a few days ago you were at Blissdom. Share with us this experience & the impact it had on your business.
Where do I begin? Let me start with this: Conferences are 100% what you make of them. I never expected that the content of the sessions would make a significant impact on my business. I can hear people talk all day long about what works for them, but that alone will not change anything in me or in my business. However, I did expect that the relationships formed would make a huge impact. And they already have! Meeting customers face to face and interacting with people who I respect and admire is invaluable. I find that my sales are directly related to how connected I feel to the community around me (and how connected THEY feel to me.) Sharing an experience like Blissdom with them is perhaps the best way for me to push my business to the next level. The bonus? I walk away refreshed and ready to conquer the world!

What are some recent business accomplishments you are most proud of?
Hmm… I am mostly proud of the growth. Every month since it’s opening a year and a half ago, my shop has seen steady and consistent growth. Right now I am happy to say that my sales have more than quadrupled since the fall. That just gives me butterflies. But, more exciting than that, I am so thrilled to have a community that trusts me and my experience and feels empowered to find their own talents and do something about it. That is more than I could ever hope for!

What are a few of your favorite handmade shops?
How do you choose? I wish I could list them all! How about a few I’ve never purchased from, but have been eying for a long time:
Le Papier Studio – beautiful silhouettes
Yes Jess Knits – knits that make me not hate wintertime so much
Pretty Things by Meg – you know I have to have that mustard ruffle necklace!

Want to win some Allora Handmade?

Leave a comment sharing where you would go with your Allora Handmade rosettes and enter to win a mini modern pearl statement necklace in any color ~

Giveaway ends Friday morning (2/4) and is open to the US only. For extra entries: blog tweet or facebook this {leave an extra comment for each}.

    February 1, 2011 at 11:00 am

    I have been DROOOOLLLING over her stuff since I saw your mustard ear rings but I’ve yet to order anything – but come my birthday, I’ll be buying some I think! :)

    Hm, I think that a rosette necklace would go lovely with a Church outfit! :)

  10. danielle says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:01 am

    i would go everywhere…of course. because i would be wearing it every day :)

  11. stac says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:02 am

    I have a dentist appt coming up on Valentine’s Day and I think it would be the perfect thing to wear for a little Valentine’s Day cheer and also to try to have something bright and cheery as an encouragement for having to go to the dentist!!!

  12. Ruth says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:02 am

    Loved meeting Jessica at Blissdom, love the earrings she gave out (so sweet, now my favorite earrings ever!), and I would love to win a necklace (but I’ll probably still have to buy one too.) I’d wear mine every day with every outfit, so much that people would start to say, “Ruth, enough with the necklace already, sheesh!” :-)

  13. Lauren says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:02 am

    great interview!! Had fun getting to know Jess a little better! :)

  15. Emma says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:08 am

  16. Katie says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:09 am

    Where WOULDN’T I go with my rosette is the question!!! To the gym, to the grocery, out for a date night! WOO!

  17. Alyson says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:09 am

    Awww, so fun! I’ve now gotten to know Jessica a bit better (just discovered her/those incredible rosette works of art) and now you. YAY! I have a hard time deciding which color I’d like but in my quest to wear more bold jewelry, I’d wear this gorgeousness EVERYWHERE!

  19. Heather B. says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:11 am

    I would wear my necklace either on a date with my hubby or for a girls night out with my friends! But how do you choose just one color?!

  20. Teresa S. says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:12 am

    This might sound crazy but I am due any day now and I would wear it on the day of my delivery :) I want something that will make me feel pretty and feminine on that special day!.
    xoxo!

  21. Carly says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:13 am

    So, I have to go with 2 answers! 1) on Valentine’s for a date with the boy :) and 2) I fully intend on getting all gussied up (with this necklace and my Gussy bag!) for my oral qualifying exam (oh so exciting….)

  22. Cassandra Beverly says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:13 am

    I’d wear it to my fiance’s grad school’s spring banquet! It would sass up my dress perfectly!

  23. Alyson says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:14 am

  24. Aimee S says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:16 am

    I’ve been looking at the green necklace for months. :) I love her stuff. I know just where I’d wear it and what outfit I’d wear it with. :)

  25. Carrie H says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:19 am

    I would wear it to church (the ladies there would love it! promise!) and make my hubby take me on a fancy schmancy date so I could look all glam!

  26. Carrie H says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:21 am

    I cannot think of a place I wouldn’t wear them! Well…except maybe to the gym or pool…as bright and cheery as they are, I am thinking that is just not a good idea. I seriously big puffy hear them though! :)

  29. Amanda Davis says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:22 am

  30. Bethany says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:24 am

    I adore Jessica’s darling work! I would definitely be sporting my Allora necklace to the multiple wedding events that I have coming up in the next couple of months!

  31. Kate says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:24 am

    I have actually been looking at these necklaces and most jewelry is worn to work. I like to add a little splash to my days as a CPA.

  32. Ruthanne says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:26 am

    Um . . . where would I go? Well, I live *such* an exciting life of spontaneity and variety that it would have to be one of three places: Starbucks, the fabric store or Barnes & Noble.

    But, those are all really happenin’ places.

  33. shelly swope says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:27 am

    i’m in the midst of bridesmaid season and i must say that necklace would dress up a simple black dress for a rehearsal dinner like NOBODY’s business…i might even show up the bride!

    February 1, 2011 at 11:54 am

    I had the pleasure of eating a lunch with Jessican at Blissdom and I was eye-balling her necklace the entire time. I got to take home some of those yummy mustard earrings with her business card.

    I would wear that necklace everywhere! I’ll probably take my Red Lobster gift car (Blissdom swag) and take hubby out to dinner. My treat. :)

    Hope I win! I was really coveting one of these…

    First, I love, love, love her products. I was lucky enough to get one of the sky blue Allora bracelets and I get so many compliments on it. I always steer them to her website. She is so talented. I would love to win one of her necklaces and wear it to church…then everywhere!!!

  62. Danielle J. says

    February 1, 2011 at 11:54 am

  85. Katie says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:31 pm

    I think those rosettes would be a great Sunday morning accessory! Or maybe just to dress up my everyday jeans-wear. Like, like, like!

  86. Sarah P. says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:31 pm

    Love it! I would go on a date night with my hubby. Or on a girls night out. Or to church. Or I’d be the most stylin’ mom at the library store time. If I win it, I’ll probably never take it off! I’ll wear it everywhere :)

    i would most definitely wear this on a date with my hubby in DC!!!! theni’ll wear it into anthropologie so they can aske where they could buy in bulk for their shop!!! ;)

  89. Erin says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:37 pm

    um…. ANYWHERE! For me as a young professional its hard to feel empowered and maintain confidence. Its me and the closest person in age in 15years older! So, knowledge I feel we are on the same playing field, but thats where it ends. Business attire & pant suits are fun, but drain the personality. I try to add something to my outfit every day to express me, but its really restrictive. So, I have the desire but feel stuck. Creativity is something I have BUT creativity with restrictions is rough! I feel by adding a pop to my wardrobe with Jessica’s necklaces, I can still have me showing. When I feel insecure or nervous about presenting or challenging my co-workers, I just see my reflection, in a window or mirror or my computer screen (HA) see Jess’s necklace and it says “hey you earned your position and go get ’em” its my little boost and reminds me to smile. Life can get ahead of you and wearing Jess’s necklaces remind me that fun and joy still exist and creativity has room in anyone’s life. They are a reminder that its ok to be me and yeah to me its a lot more than just a necklace

  90. kate says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:39 pm

  91. Becca says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:40 pm

    I love Allora Handmade! I have the larger rosette necklace and I wear it all the time and get compliments like crazy – I’ve been wanting a mini one especially – I have lots of weddings to go to soon and it would be the perfect accessory! :-)

  92. Southern Gal says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:44 pm

    I love her pretty, feminine necklaces. I’d love to have one.

  93. Valerie says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:45 pm

    These necklaces are adorable, I love the colors! I would wear it out on a date with my husband :)

  94. Mary Beth @ The Blue Ladybug says

    February 1, 2011 at 12:58 pm

    Beautiful rosettes! I would wear one on a date with my hubby! We are in much need of one, and a beautiful new necklace would be something to make the occasion more special!

  95. Jill says

    Yay for Allora Handmade! I ordered one of her bracelets as a gift this Fall and have been kicking myself since on why I didn’t buy myself some pretty roses!

    I would wear them in FLORIDA in a few weeks, woo hoo!!

    I made rosettes to use in the boutonniere’s for my wedding but didn’t get to keep any for myself! These necklaces say ‘date in a coffeeshop’ to me! Cute!

  100. Cassie says

    February 1, 2011 at 1:16 pm

    I would wear the rosettes pretty much anywhere. I really think it would complete any outfit. I can see myself wearing it to the grocery store, to the park with my son, to dinner out with my husband, and everywhere in between.

  101. EFY says

    February 1, 2011 at 1:27 pm

    Cute! Well, if I was privileged to have an Allora Handmade piece, I would wear it to church, to town, out with friends… Wherever! Blessings!

  102. Allison says

    February 1, 2011 at 1:28 pm

  144. Caro says

    Well, I’ve already told my boyfriend that instead of spending money on real flowers this Valentine’s Day I would really rather have him spend money on Allora Handmade’s mini-modern pearl statement necklace in order of preference: Plum, Moss Green or Mustard. I would wear this ALL the time but most importantly it will make such a great addition to my European wardrobe for our big trip to London in May. How chic I would be!!

    I LOVE my modern pearl necklace in moss green! I wear it anywhere. With jeans and a white T. Today at work with a grey cardigan and black dress pants…it just adds that bit of color the you need. And EVERY time I wear it (I mean EVERY single time), I get compliments…today, 3 more. I had to email someone right away with Jessica’s website. Love handmade and Love Jess…you too Gussy! Yeah! Glad Blissdom was so much fun.

  151. Michelle says

    February 1, 2011 at 5:23 pm

    The rich red necklace is simply gorgeous. I would wear it to school (only one more year after this!), church, the trip I’m planning this summer to Europe… I’ve been trying to imagine an outifit that this necklace wouldn’t go with, and it is much harder than it seems!

  152. Julianne says

(which just so happens to be on the day in which the giveaway ends, but he never has it off {unless I am at blissdom like last year} so we will plan another night to go out and have a nice time) I love the flowers and I love statement pieces. This is both.

    They are all beautiful!

  172. Rachel O. says

    February 1, 2011 at 8:15 pm

My favorite is fuchsia being that my favorite colors are pink and green. I can see myself wearing this as an accessory with my LBD or with a green strapless dress for my dads upcoming wedding:o)

We’re expecting our first child now–due in less than 7 weeks! I love all of her stuff and I’d wear one of her beautiful necklaces all the time as I’m trying to find new ways to accessorize thanks to this ever growing baby bump!

I promise to wear it somewhere special to – like out on a date for my husband’s birthday!

  209. Jessica says

    February 2, 2011 at 8:53 am

    Thank you for introducing us to Jessica! I love her products and have been drooling over them for a while! I would wear my necklace everywhere – out on a date with my hubby, girls night out with my friends, church, vacation, etc! I think it would be so cute to wear with nice jeans and a plain white shirt so the necklace could be the main focal point! How fun! I think it would be hard to just pick one color…they are all so beautiful!

    I LOVE this! I would wear it on a job interview for a new teaching position that is taking me out of my comfort zone! I’m stepping out of my box and pushing myself to try something different and very rewarding. Instead of teaching just children, I’m making the move to teach teachers as well. It’s been my plan for the last 4 years and things are finally falling into place. The necklace is a powerful statement of confidence and I am so going to need that!

    The necklaces by Allora Handmade are absolutely gorgeous! I would wear this necklace with my fancy outfits to church, with casual outfits (to dress them up a little and make them look classy), to school, when I go to Oregon to visit my family, and it would look ah-mazing if I wore it to my Cello concert! A classy necklace looks good anytime, anywhere. <3

  245. Shanna says

    February 3, 2011 at 9:03 pm

    Hard to decide between 3 colors that I like!! Off white, gray,or black.. I wear a lot of black, so maybe the off white would be awesome with everything I have!!

  246. Angie says

    February 3, 2011 at 9:15 pm

    I would wear it just about anywhere…it is beautiful!

  247. Beth says

    February 3, 2011 at 11:21 pm

    I would go get my haircut! Because it would need a little pep to look cute enough to wear with such an adorable necklace.

    I would wear the necklace to New York where I will hopefully go with my husband to celebrate my upcoming birthday. It’s been so long since we vacationed together by ourselves after having our two girls.
