The beautifully draped moss hangs fashionably from the live oak trees that line the streets of Savannah. I am excited to say that I am officially I resident of one of the most creatively endowed cities in the country. 2010 is going to be an exciting year for Mamie Ruth Designs!!

Mucho Amor

Much love goes out to everyone who comes out to all of my trunk shows and various events. I love meeting people who love Mamie Ruth designs! If it wasn't for all of the wonderful folks who support me I wouldn't be able to be living my dream. Each person who owns a Mamie Ruth creation owns a small piece of my heart and those of you good people who own 20 or more...well, you own at least a finger :)

Big thanks to Scott at the Statesboro Herald who photographed my jewelry last night at the shopping by lantern light event downtown Statesboro. Mamie Ruth loveliness graced the front page of the Statesboro Herald this morning. Thanks for the love!!

Mamie Ruth Fashion Show

Mamie Ruth Designs will be featured in a eco-friendly fashion show at White Space Gallery in Atlanta on Dec. 4th. Eco-friendly fabrics and methods of production can make a big difference in the quality of our environment. Mamie Ruth threads are made from an interesting mix of vintage fabrics. This dress is made from two contrasting vintage bed sheets from the seventies that I found at a local thrift shop. Every Mamie Ruth garment is hand made with love and care, not mass produced in a factory overseas. When you support a local designer you are helping someone achieve their dreams. Go green, buy local, or better yet, buy Mamie Ruth!

My apologies, my priorities have been skewed since the runway finale in March. I have been very busy trying to make sense of the manufacturing world. When it comes to designing and producing a one-of-a-kind garment, I am a pro, but unfortunately there is much more to the fashion industry than that. I am in the process of getting my one-of-a-kind garments produced into one-of-a-kind garments that everyone can love and afford. Believe me, I am the thriftiest shopper than you will ever meet, so I know that paying hundreds of dollars for a dress is insanity. My garments are all made from vintage and recycled materials and I am unable to produce any of the garments ever again, which makes them very special. Each garment holds a special place in my heart. So please bare with me, clothing will be available for purchase very soon at a price that everyone can afford!
