My Mud Flap Jill cufflinks made it into Houston Magazine‘s October 2009 issue. Even better, they’re in a T&A-themed feature.

And I was one of the winners of Independent Fashion Blogger’s Dress-Up Soiree contest. Thanks to the 130 people who voted for me. (Note that I had 131 votes, but one of them was my own!)

UPDATED TO ADD: Behold the hotness of Mud Flap Jill’s namesake! I haven’t seen anything this smokin’ since Zang Toi’s dinner party.

Bodacious!

Bodacious!

  1. Congratulations on all the well-deserved mentions!

    P.S. Incidentally, I ended up meeting The Sunday Best and his fiancee Sharon at a recent dinner party in the most random way. We both sang your praises, of course. 🙂

  11. Hooray! Isn’t it nice to be loved?

    Congratulations on all this recognition.

    I know your locket necklace was featured in “Inside Weddings,” but I think your acorn necklace kicks that other acorn necklace’s butt. That one doesn’t even seem to feature moving parts.

  13. This has been a great day.

    That article The Sunday Best wrote was a damn good one. Makes me want to up the ante on my own writing…hmmmmm…

    CONGRATS, GURU!!!

  14. yay! congrats but no surprise as your jewelry is amazing and needs to be featured everywhere! Love the T&A feature, so very appropriate 🙂

  16. Many congratulations, they are much deserved and its great your hard work is being so much appreciated by such a wider audience, good for you my dear!

  21. Congrats Wendy!! Your work is stunning…( I tried to vote for you several times and it wouldn’t work for some reason, but next time I’ll try again!!)

  26. Mud Flap Jill should be featured everywhere – she so deserves it! I particularly like showing people how well endowed she is. Rubies and all!

  33. You should be proud. Well done.

    Also, as you might know, I used to be in Product Development in the giftware world. I’d love to see a post of your design and manufacturing process. (ie: Do you do your own art, Do you sculptors work in wax? etc.

    I also might have some resources for you if you ever need them.

  36. Jeez, award winning cufflinks! Congrats, I need to send you my ‘ingredients’ as discussed when I get back. I don’t mind messing up one side of the coin any more.

  45. I’m irretrievably straight but if ever there is a line to be crossed, this is the woman. She enhances your piece and vice versa.

  46. You should definitely be proud, you seem to put a lot of effort into your work, and you really do deserve the appreciation!

  47. I was hoping the spam word would be beoytch like last time bc YOU ARE A FIERCE ONE! Damn – CONGRATS on the WIN darling – but of course I knew you going to be one of them 😉
