This is the adorable Leslie Yang of Feisty Elle, a San Francisco accessories shop I fell for when I was hunting down Mighty Goods posts.
A few months after posting her Red Dahlia Earrings, I ran into Leslie at the Renegade Craft Fair and told her I was planning the Broad Summit. I asked if she’d like to include her work in the gift bags, and gave her my mailing address. A few months later a gorgeous package showed up at the office.
Leslie had made wooden, laser-cut versions of her earrings, painted them gold, and used thin black elastic to secure them to craft paper boxes. The result was so chic, don’t you think? I think they’d make great packages for wedding favors, and I’ve had mine propped up on my desk since it arrived.
The packaging was so cool, we used them as turn-down favors at the retreat, and several of the girls even wore their earrings the next day, which is the ultimate endorsement.
Go Leslie! Thanks so much for the lovelies.

I am OBSESSED with these earrings. My favorite part is how light they are — they’re made of felt, aren’t they? — because while I love wearing big danglies, the holes in my ears are quite low and anything heavier than the flapping of a butterfly’s wings causes them to stretch dangerously. So these earrings are perfect because they’re INCREDIBLY light. I’ve had at least three compliments a day on them since I started wearing them last week…..or at least I did until I lost the left one at SFO yesterday morning. I was so distraught that I half plan to BART back out there tonight and comb the terminals looking for it. Or, you know, maybe I’ll just buy another pair.

Maggie, I love this post, I love hearing about the Broad Summit and I really love those earrings.
But you and your great taste are very, very bad for my bank account.
I’d write more, but I have to go buy earrings now.

Dear lauraelle (last picture) – Your lipstick is gorgeous! Any chance you’d be willing to share the shade and maker?
I also love Leslie’s earrings, but can’t wear them, since my ears are no longer pierced. 😦
