Five Interesting Facts About Julie:
- Before designing jewelry, I made dollhouse miniatures and sold them wholesale to hundreds of stores.
- My favorite place is Paris, France (specifically the flea markets of Paris).
- I live in a renovated firehouse from 1905.
- I was married on my grandmother’s porch, an X-Box 360 game controller was our “ring pillow”, I converted a handmade lace curtain from the 1800’s into my bridal veil, we had 5 plastic goats as our cake topper (Brett jokingly told my parents that my dowry was 5 goats when we got engaged), and once we were pronounced husband and wife, I had Brett’s childhood best friend play John William’s “Throne Room” theme song from Star Wars.
- I LOVE to eat and thought it would impress my husband if I ate an entire large pizza by myself on our first date. Not quite sure what I was thinking but I did it.
