The first six weeks of his life were spent in the NICU.Inspired by motherhood and wanting to celebrate our little miracle, I created little JULES. Our signature line is inscribed with baby hands and feet which are actually Julian's. I believe you're never too little for style - it's that rule of thought that has let me to create a little JULES baby line of jewelry.

on Purses
1. Tell us a little bit about yourself and your indie business.My name is Maxine Ricks and I design and create unique clothing and accessories, mostly for women. My current project is ballroom dresses although my favorite material to work with is vintage neckties. I'm thinking about how I can combine the two and come up with a ballroom dress made from neckties.I am located in beautiful West Texas near Dallas2. How did you come up with your business name?My business started with one purse from a fabric remnant and I couldn't stop! I would always tell my husband that I was "hooked" and Hooked on Purses just naturally evolved from. My obsession has recently grown to include the ballroom dresses, necktie dresses, skirts and other apparel and accessories. Although I don't make a lot of purses anymore, the name is cute, catchy and easy to remember so I think I'll keep it. I make sure in my marketing that everyone knows that Hooked Read more:Sunday
