KATA BANKO COUTURE
I was swept away being a bride again for the day at our Cover Shoot when I was honored to wear these gorgeous pieces by Kata Banko Couture. The occasion? They were designed exclusively far Gladys Magazine and in honor of my mother, Gladys who our magazine was named for. In the photo to the right I am wearing the "Gladys," swarvoski rhinestone, hand formed hair vine with silk organza flowers, $275.00 and I threw an the "Kata," cathedral veil with silk organza, hand sewn flowers with Swarovski rhinestone and pearl centers as a wrap for the photo, $695.00. You too can have your very own "Gladys" headpiece as there are more to choose from on their web site: Kata Banko Couture, www.katabankocouturebrides.com 

My 15th wedding anniversary is coming up later this year and I just might have to wear this to renew our vows!

GLACIER GLASS

Glacier Glass is a new line of beautiful, eco-inspired glassware crafted from recycled wine bottles.  The look and feel of the glass for individual glassware is truly unique.  Utilizing state of the art diamond-wheel engraving technology, the former wine bottles are completely transformed into a beautiful and substantial piece of glassware with a design which, combined with a blue tint of the glass, is reminiscent of majestic glaciers. www.Rolfglass.com.
