Just as soon as I said the name { August Lately } aloud, it was as though it had existed all along. Perhaps I used the word “re-invention” too hastily. I believe Georgia Hadley’s decision to transition from Adorneya to { August Lately } is more about nurturing, trusting and, well, breathing.

Georgia has evolved Adorneya’s initial focus of Handcrafted Jewelry to one that includes Handmade Handbags and Paper Goods now found with { August Lately }. Adorneya? { August Lately }? It matters not, Georgia’s artistic fingerprint remains the same: Simple Elegance…

Independent artists put heart and soul at the forefront with each ware designed, perfected and created. When those artists take their passion to the next level and offer their masterpieces to the world, their business becomes another work of art in and of itself. That theory is very much illustrated with what Georgia has done with Adorneya. She has taken her vision’s design and is presenting it to the world polished, poised, and perfected…

Welcome, { August Lately }.

We have not yet begun to explore why I have chosen Georgia Hadley as February’s Featured Independent Artist. I watched my focus change from wanting to feature her Art to one wanting to applaud her intuition and her foresight. Even with that, I cannot touch on why she deserves recognition. (I am sorry, Georgia, this review does not do you justice.)
