Well let me tell you who I am and what Im doing here.    My name is Melanie (a.k.a. MJ) and Im the creative force behind LUCKY 7 DESIGN BLOG.   

Im the mother of 5 and Im happily married to my knight is shining armor! My children are my pride and joy and I have a 2nd blog dedicated to them and how I keep my family stylish on a budget.  I also share product review information and anything fun regarding fashion, art, parenting, motherhood, housewives and children. You can find me over at MAMA J AND HER FASHIONISTAS BLOG.    I'm also the parent to a child diagnosed with Autism so I share sometimes the challenges that it brings.

Currently Im a stay-at-home, work-at-home mom.  Im a former visual merchandiser for retail store like New York & Co, The Children's Place, Gap.  I still have that passion and so now I use it in home styling.   Im always redesigning the rooms in my home, but I also do redesigns for family, friends.  You can check out one of them HERE or HERE

I have a love for history and for vintage....Im the person who holds on to buttons, broken pins, letters with cool stamps, napkins.   I know that somehow I will use it for something.......and I DO!  I also go out with friends or my daughter on what I call Junkin Drive-bys.   On my blog I share all the things that I do with my treasures and how you dont need to have a million dollars to create a home you love and are proud to show.

Here are some of my treasures

I have 2 Etsy shops....

LUCKY 7 DESIGN is where you will find my handmade line of home accessories made from vintage linens and recycled materials.   I also collect and sell lots of vintage items and you will find some treasures in my shop too.   I believe there is something for everyone and I keep my pricing fair because I also support handmade and my fellow Etsians ( basically saying I shop a lot on Etsy too).

 MAMA J JEWELS is where you will find my handmade jewelry.   I have what I called jewelry boxes that hold different style collections.  Recently Ive gone back to my roots and created a line of jewelry created from junk.   Junkin Jersey Mama is the collection and Ive gotten a great response....take a look.

My dream is to one day own my own shop in a downtown area Main Street (my town actually has one...lol) where I can sell my creations.  Until then I will continue to work hard and create until my dream comes true!

I want to give a big hug to Suze for inviting me over today to meet with you all.   She is a talented mama and a sweetheart of a friend!
