Momma Told Me: Your heritage is what makes you beautiful.

Fashion is all subjective. All it takes is the approval of just a few in your circles to qualify as a trend. Ironically, just as fast as something is in, it can also be out- both of these factors make for an interesting twist to modern high fashion trends. Less is beauty being defined by what makes you the same (on trend), and instead different. Models in Milan are gaining popularity for imperfect 'flaws' that make then stand out in print and shoots. The more interesting your look, the more money people will pay to have you wear their clothes. And few things make you more interesting that that which is naturally yours, the thousands of people who came before you to give you your own unique story- your own defined look.

I have an ever growing family in the sense that I do not define my family so much as by blood as I do by heart. Tish Lynch Two Wolves is one of my 'adopted' sisters in this sense. She is an amazingly strong mother of 4 beautiful, equally strong, young girls- who's love for children and big heart is only further exemplified by he experience as a surrogate for a couple who could not have their own. Like so many modern mothers today she works full time to help support her family, alongside her husband, a gifted visual artist. In an attempt to help exemplify the importance of heritage to her own daughters Tish recently began beading Native American inspired jewelry while teaching her daughters the beliefs and traditions of their Comanche and Chocktaw ancestors.

At Handmade by Tish, on Etsy, you'll find an assortment of beautifully detailed hand-beaded jewelry from Native American inspired earrings to less intricate, bold, necklaces and bracelets. There are even a few contemporary pieces done with more advanced beading techniques and Tish is always happy to take a custom order for colors, patterns, or styling. Her experience birthing 5 pregnancies has even given her an appreciation for fashion in the sense of modesty maternity clothing. She recently opened a listing in her Etsy shop for a custom Maternity Hospital Gown with beautiful fabric and ribbon details that seamlessly blend functionality and style on your big day. I know I'll be reaching out to her when I start my family for some push-day threads!

I'm incredibly excited that Tish has offered to giveaway a $75 gift certificate good for pre-made or custom jewelry and more in her Etsy shop, as part of the Fall #FashionistaEvents this year! The Fall Fashionista Giveaway Event is hosted by The Chief Blonde at Still Blonde After All These Years and Katy from  ModlyChic. This is the web's only All Fashion! Only FASHION event! Largest Fashion Giveaway event on the internet with $26,000+ in prizes, 100+ participating blogs and 3/4 million entries. Each individual blog has a minimum of $125 prize! I recently had the chance to model several pieces of Tish's jewelry, including the above Beaded Swooping Dance Hoops design, which sells for an amazing steal at just $25!

As you can see, Tish has a gorgeous family, and my social media feed is constantly blessed with photos of those adorable young women. Tish is always sewing up something special for them, or having them model the latest creation. Handmade by Tish has new listings appear every week, and many are one of a kind. If you see something you missed out on, or have an idea for a style or color pattern you'd like to see Tish loves to do custom requests. Tish isn't a big 'hotshot' Etsy seller yet, so every sale is truly special to her and her family!

What Daughter Says: Experience some of Tish's beauty with handmade jewelry inspired by her heritage.
