About Lulu's Petals

I’m the one-woman show here at Lulu’s Petals, and I live near Green Bay, WI with my husband and three kids. I’ve been repurposing vintage jewelry since 2010, after becoming inspired while digging through my mother-in-law’s vintage jewelry stash.

Since then, I've been hitting up flea markets and antique malls, hunting for the sparkly-est, most fabulous vintage jewels to work with. My mission is to get those beautiful vintage pieces out of boxes and drawers, and refashion them into something to be worn and appreciated again!

Also, I’m a big believer in having fun with your clothing and accessories on a daily basis. While most of my pieces contain a lot of sparkle, they don’t have to wait for a special occasion to be worn! In fact, while designing, I usually imagine my pieces being worn with more casual clothing, like jeans and a t-shirt, mixed with great shoes and a classy jacket.

ME! My Dad calls me Lulu. It’s one of those nicknames that has evolved over the years, beginning with him calling me Lindsey, because my middle name is Lynn (Lindsey Lou > Lou > Lulu > Louise…I answer to them all.)

And yes, the “petals” is a nod to “ZuZu’s petals” from the movie “It’s a Wonderful Life,” which is a family favorite!
