About Me – Be Grace Be Love Boutique
Handmade Accessories for Women That Celebrate Your Unique Style
Hi, I’m Melanie—the heart, hands, and creative spirit behind Be Grace Be Love Boutique, a shop that offers handmade accessories for women who want to express themselves with beauty and intention.
What began in 2017 with a few handmade barrettes for the little girls in my life has grown into a full collection of handcrafted accessories. These pieces are designed to help women feel seen, confident, and beautifully themselves. From whimsical hair pins to bold earrings and purse charms full of personality, everything I offer is either handmade in my studio or curated with purpose.
The story actually starts earlier—back in the early ‘80s. My sister and I wore matching outfits, and our mom would decorate our barrettes by hand. That small gesture made us feel special, pretty, and loved. Years later, when I began creating gifts for my nieces, I realized how meaningful a handmade piece could still be.
So I started creating. First for family, then for friends. Eventually, I began offering handmade accessories for women who wanted pieces that felt personal—not mass-produced. These accessories have heart, story, and style.
What Be Grace Be Love Means
To Be Grace is to carry yourself with strength, softness, and intention.
To Be Love is to show compassion—to others and to yourself.
These words are a reminder of how I strive to live and what I hope every artisan piece in my shop brings to the women who wear them. Whether it’s a hair pin, keychain, or pair of earrings, I want each one to feel like a reflection of you.
My Mission for Handmade Accessories
- Self-expression through unique, vibrant accessories
- Empowerment through affordable, thoughtful designs
- Connection through handmade touches and heartfelt gifting
I create every piece with love in my South Carolina studio. I also select and assemble curated elements that reflect my vision. These handmade accessories for women are packaged with care, ready to brighten your day—or someone else's.
