Necklaces!



I've been having fun creating with some of my vintage finds. The first necklace is a vintage paste buckle, my dealer said it's dated from 1880 to 1900. All I know is it is awesome! The second necklace I made from a hand painted russian christmas brooch. I love the little snow princess on the front of it. She has little bunnies with her and a bird. What's better than bunnies and a bird?!

French Glam!











Here's the newest in my designs. I am really enjoying working with these religious medallions I acquired.
I wonder what stories they could tell?

I had a little visit from my niece Erika today, who is on her way to a visit with grandpa. She designs the most adorable fun clothing on etsy. Her shop is called Spicy Toast. I own a couple of her creations myself.
This is Erika modeling some of my current favorites that are currently for sale on etsy. So cute!

Recycled Bows



I saw this post on one of my favorite blogs called.."How about Orange" She made bows out of recycled newspapers, but really you could do it out of any paper. I just love the thought that this bow is recycled. Check it out! www.howaboutorange.blogspot.com

Fall


Here in Arizona Fall means a second spring. Here is a rose from my garden. We're headed up to the cabin for the weekend so I'll get to see the leaves changing. I'm looking forward to wearing a sweater and taking some pictures of the fall leaves.

Mr and Mrs Fleur De Lis Designs


One more of the little darlings. This one was too blurry to post for the necklaces but I think it was cute of the 2 of them.

Fun with the camera and Picasa


We did a photoshoot today.

Here's one cute shot. For more pictures check out my etsy page.

Vintage Enamel Flower Necklace



This beautiful necklace was once a vintage brooch. I took off the pin and added a necklace loop, brass chain, some swarovski and glass beads, and voila!


I love the fact that the pin has some enamel chipped off and you can see the dark metal underneath. I know that when I wear it no one else will ever have a necklace like it.


This is definitely one of my favorite necklaces so far. (But then I think that with each new necklace I make!) You can find it for sale in my etsy shop.

Special Order Necklace and Earrings




This marcasite and Opal pendant necklace is hung by sterling silver chain. It was a special order and I had extra beads and chain left over so I made her some earrings too. I think they turned out beautifully.

Vintage Brooch Necklace


I saw this beautiful Brooch on ebay and bought it to make it into a new necklace. I have had so many compliments when I wore it out to dinner. :) Normally I don't like making things that match, but I had extra gray glass beads so I also made a bracelet and earrings to match it.

Miss Myrna Handmade Seed Bead and Swarovski Crystal Bracelet


This beautiful bracelet is named after my mom... its delicate, sweet, and beautiful..just like her.
