4/4/05 | Texas Haute Sauce
I had seen the website for these folks before through involvement with The Sampler, but came across them again while looking at different jewelry sites. I just remembered the unusual name for a diy craft biz! Sisters Erika and Kristina Buentello sisters team up with Mandi Demars-Muhic to to create a variety of handmade crafts including soap, necklaces, bracelets, paper, cosmetic bags, and purses.
A short blurb from their website:
Texas Haute Sauce is an online shop created by Erika Buentello. It features the work of Erika, her sister, Kristina Buentello and the uber-talented, Mandi Demars-Muhic. The goal of Texas Haute Sauce is to create fresh, beautiful, funky, strange, funny, edgy, unique creations that appeal those of us with discriminating and sometimes unusual tastes. We create high quality pieces that are limited edition or one-of-a-kind.
They had many, many necklaces and bracelets that were interesting, so I just picked out one of them out to show. This necklace is called Leche de Canela (which is apparently some sort of dessert?) and uses a rose quartz briolette along with Czech glass beads and sterling silver links to create a piece of jewelry that is dainty yet a bit “spicy”. A very nice looking necklace. Please note that most of their items are either Limited Editions or unique pieces like this one.
