It's big, it's charming, it's vintage!

Big bauble charm bracelet made :) I've had this put together for a couple of week, but needed to drill through the pod bead. The hole wasn't complete! My stepfather took care of it for me yesterday. Thanks Tom! You can find it in my store right here.

Spring???

Where are you?? We're ready for you! Here are some new earrings that are also ready for Spring! :)

Yeah! Front Page

I made the front page of Etsy the other day (isn't is pretty!?). Thank you miabeads! Just wanted to share the good news :) I'm the owl necklace up on top... it sold, but I am waiting for more supplies to make more. This is the necklace that was in the Home Companion magazine.

New Bangle

This is the second bangle that I've created using an unfinished wood bangle as the base. This one was made with paper strips, ribbon, fabric flower, tiny beads and a bird sticker that I've adored. The inside was painted blue with a pearl finish. I'll be listing this and the other bangle in my earlier blog in my store one of these days :)

This Weekend's Creation

Hi! I made something completely new and different from anything that I've made before. I had great fun experimenting and have tons of ideas lurking in my head for more of these. This is my first.

I made this on a wooden bangle, cut strips of paper, used Mod Podge... lots of Mod Podge, painted the inside and did a bit of sanding. It was fun! I hope to create more and put them in my store soon.

Waddya think?

Favorite Things ... Childhood Memories

I don't hold onto many things but for some reason, I have held on to this through countless moves and I still have it! This was the lightswitch cover that my mom put in my baby room.

It will be going into my studio as soon as I can fix the lightswitch.

I put it in Amelia's room when she was a baby too!

Dove and Pearl Necklace

Studio Progress!

The shelves are up! Yeah! They turned out just how I'd hoped they would. Other than that, progress is slow. Finances... you know! :) Next will be painting some of the great furniture that I have. My mom gave me a credenza that belonged to my Great Grandfather. She also gave me a cute table that will be my photo table. The desk that I found was only $25! It has glass nobs too. It needs some work, but with some love, will be perfect.

See the shelves in the background?

New Blog Idea

I got this idea from msbelle, a wonderful seller on Etsy. She makes very pretty jewelry and is always checking in and commenting in my blog.

I have been trying to bring my blog up to the next level and get it out there. I didn't realize that I can post labels for my entries, so maybe that will help.

She listed her sold items in her blog and I really like that idea, so here goes :)

These are the items that sold yesterday. Thank you everyone! You are all so appreciated. More than you could know.

Have a great day and check back tomorrow for my next featured customer! :)
