June - Sparkle!

Ta-da! Here is our June Vendor of the Month! Sparkle by Meg....

Meg was one of the very first vendors on TwilightMOMS in our vampire apparel and decor section. She got in touch with me and I bought a few of her pendants - one a necklace and the other a cell phone/zipper charm. I LOVE them! I'm a sucker for anything sparkly....and I'm sure most of you are now too.

So it's about time we featured her and her store.

Here's Meg to introduce herself:

Hi! I'm Meg Earhart - Sparkle on Twilight Moms. I live in Lawrenceville, GA and own a couple of retail shops called Sparkle! and Sparkle! too. I'm married to a cool guy who loves the Twilight series almost as much as I do. I have no kids, but I do have 5 cats, one of whom was named Bella before I knew what a great name that would be! I was introduced by a great friend who is a librarian and kept talking about this cool book series she couldn't stop thinking about. At that time there were only two books, so I have traveled the agonizing journey waiting for each book and then the movie to come out!! I don't post a lot but love TM for keeping me up to date on what is going on in the Twilight world. Last fall I got a chance to meet some awesome Twilight Moms here in Ga (Shout out to all Team GA TM's - Love Ya'll!!) and I just love how this wonderful fictional world has created such fun friendships!

What inspired you to start making Twilight items?

My shops focus on handcrafted jewelry and I make some of it so making Twilight pieces was just a natural path my obsession took. I first made some pieces for my friends and then tried them out in the shop and they caught on! I was fortunate enough to have a local bookstore, Books-a-million, allow me to set up a table when Breaking Dawn was released and that one night really changed things, bringing loads of Twilight fans to my shop!

What are your other hobbies and interests?

Besides making jewelry, I am a pop culture junkie - I love the Harry Potter series, The Black Dagger Brotherhood, and several others. I LOVE movies and wish I had more time to see them! I have a pez collection that is now over 2000 pez! I am very excited because I was just accepted as a vendor at Dragon*Con in Atlanta which is one of our favorite things to do every year and now we'll get to go and play and sell our fun pieces too!!

Thanks to everyone here at TM for putting me as a vendor of the month! Most of my items are made to order so I can change things as you want me to. The pics on the website are a very small representation of what I do! You can custom order your own phrases and style and I'll make it just for you!

Very cute and different, huh? You can even get creative and ask for a custom piece from Meg. She would be happy to ablige! I'm thinking a Alice-like choker with a red ribbon and one of these pendats in the middle (where the Cullen Crest would be on the real thing) would be totally posh. ♥

I own several of Meg's pieces and have had the pleasure of meeting her! I highly recommend all of her stuff. I love my necklaces - I have three of the Twilight ones! She even did one for me that says "I love irritable grizzlies". She is by far one of my favorite Twilight jewelry vendors. :flower:

I was so excited to see her as the vendor of the month!

I also can't wait to see all the goodies you bring to DragonCon!

Meg! Yay and congratulations! I have been lucky enough to meet Meg and have a few of her items as well. Wonderful pieces of jewelry.

You'll be at DragonCon? How did I not know this???

LOL.

Best wishes and see you soon!

Awww... thanks, Ya'll! I have a lot of fun making these fun pieces and really love the looks on people's faces when they find them in the shop or see their custom pieces for the first time! The website really shows just the tiniest bit of what we can do and it's so hard for the photos to do them justice. I love customized orders and will work with anyone to get their pieces just right.

Liz - Dragon*Con just became a reality last week after months on the waiting list! We are beyond excited and filling up with ideas for many genre pieces... all input welcome!

Thanks again to Endless Twilight and all the wonderful folks here at Twilight Moms for this awesome honor! Please let me know if you have any questions at all!

Meg

TM Georgia--YEAH! I have to say thanks Meg. My number was picked and I won one of your pendant, lovely book marker, and sparkly apple coin purse from the Saturday lunch. [This totally rocks.] I am hoping to come and visit your store next weekend. Keeping my fingers crossed; can't wait. Thank you so much! :clap:

I was at the TM Georgia Lunch on Saturday also and got to see some of your products also and I can't wait to visit your store. They were super cute and I look forward to meeting you in person after hearing all of the great things about you and your products!
