I can't tell you the first time I met Kate...it may have been the weekend of her
engagement photo shoot with Seth, but I can tell you that every time I talk to Kate I am excited and refreshed. She has such joy in her presence and really makes you feel at ease and as if you are the most important person in the world in that moment. That is refreshing.
Kate's husband Seth and my husband Greg met each other a long time ago in a land far away (seward, nebraska). A few years passed and they met again at the Seminary. I was honored to photograph their
wedding and have since learned the art of patience from Kate (it's coming I promise).
Seth and Kate took over our job as resident managers at
Hickey College in St. Louis when we recieved our first call. Lucky them! They even got to spend two years there!! Double lucky them! Please note, the sarcasm is dripping from that statement. Kate was in San Antonio in
January doing her internship and it was so great to hang out with her and get to know her a little better.
I was thrilled when I found out that Kate was starting a business. She is very creative and is very dedicated to her craft and her customer service skills! She will knock the socks off of you and make sure you are one happy customer. Kate dove into the world of jewelry making head first. I cannot wait to see where she comes up next. She just recently opened an
etsy shop and I am confident that she will do great. If you've never bought jewelry online now is the time to start. Kate offers one of a kind necklaces, earings and bracelets. I'm pretty sure she'd custom make one for you with your favorite jewels and colors as well. Christmas is coming up pretty quickly here and I'm pretty sure you all know someone who would look awesome with an original Kate Kaiser designed piece of jewelry! Get some Christmas shopping done and help support another Pastors Wife!!
Enough talking let's check out some of her work!
I would love to own a piece like this!!!
Gorgeous!
She has such a great variety of styles and colors! And she's giving one of you your very own set of earings and a bracelet...YOUR CHOICE!
You can choose this set, Holiday Sparkle, that is made with gold tone glass pearls and Swarovski crystal beads with 14k gold wire guards for durability and long wear. The bracelet is about 7.5 inches long and the earrings hang just under 2" from the top of the ear hook.
Or this set, Naturalista, that is made of a combination of natural stone and shell beads with gold wire and lobster claw closure. The bracelet is about 8.5 inches long, but it's beaded pretty tightly so it holds a nice shape which makes up for the slightly longer length. The earrings hang 1 3/4" from the top of the ear hook.
