Faster Than You ... (can say omgosh I need that!)

 Meet Emily (Em <3) owner of Faster Than You. Hello dollll!

 I found Emily on Etsy when I was looking for a special necklace for my Hubsy's (Mr. Gorgeous!) homecoming from his deployment to Afghanistan. It's sort of a special kind of day where you want to look your best and you're super nervous and anxious while being happy and scared lol. Similar to your wedding day, so you can only imagine my situation.  I knew I wanted something sparrow themed, because it's kind of my thing, and I have a tattoo on my back that is dedicated to him of sparrows. I came across this shop and a necklace very similar to this one and knew right away, it was perfect.  I had specific ideas and wanted to put my own spin on it with the yellow ribbon in it's mouth, the wording, and the patriotic colors to pay homeage to my love, so I contacted Emily and she was not only willing to have it done custom to my wishes, she had it done by the next day and I had it within 2 or 3 more. Let me show you..

The custom necklace Emily made for me  and I wore it with this...(scroll down)

The big day.. I tried to avoid frontal pix as I was slightly emotional

First hugs in 7 months..

 Stunning right?! I LOVE this necklace and couldn't live without it. So when I began the series and invited Em to be a part I was super thrilled when she said Yes!! Emily is not only beautiful inside and out through and through, but she is very versatile and talented (as you can see) and has something for everyone (think Indie, Retro, Rockabilly/Psychobilly, Preppy, etc). If it's not in her shop, contact her and she can make it custom even down to chain size of necklace. Her motto is "because life is too short to wear something boring!" and you will definitely not be bored browsing her selection of 387 hand painted items including necklaces, earrings, rings, jewelry boxes, printed art, hair clips, pins, bracelets, and even pet tags.  Roll the eye candy please!<3333
