New Life

 These are old screw-back earrings that were broken. I had the perfect little connectors that look like they belong. I only had 2 and they were in two different places. The second one magically appeared while I was looking for something else. It was one of those perfect meant-to-be moments. I know, I know, it is an earring. 😁

We had a little photo shoot with a prayer box necklace and insanely great vintage pearl bracelet. I will be making some necklaces with the prayer boxes soon. 

I am pretty sure the earrings are from the 1920s. I like this combo but have put the earrings in the shop. Painful. But, someone will love them as much as I do.  Or, should I keep them? 🥰🤗 

Vintage Rose

 Christmas smells so good. This is one of my favorite necklace combos. Love the wooden rose so much! ❤️

 I have no idea what the rose was a part of but it is super old and has a bit of a subtle shimmer. The stones are faceted chocolate moonstones. They are such a pretty color and really meld with the rose coloring. 

I want to keep this sooooo bad! But off to the shop she goes. It is hard to let go .....

Am I extra? 😉

What happened to Thursday?

Hi! I made a bunch of crazy great rings from antique and vintage buttons and bronze freshwater button pearls. Then I spent a ridiculous amount of time posing them for a photo shoot. The best part was telling them “Yes! Gorgeous! Hold that pose! Chin up darling!” And stuff like that. It is amazing how “creative” I get when the dishwasher needs emptying. 

These charms are everything! 🤗

This was instead of vacuuming. 

I love this chain and super huge baroque pearls. I think it was time to make dinner. 

I can get lost for hours playing with filters. 

Making jewels today

 

 I have been so busy. These amazing huge freshwater pearls and Edison pearls are really fun to work with. I love the brass bead caps and other bits. The bead caps are really nice quality and one of my super favorites. 

I have thing for blush and bronze colors together. I want to keep them all but they are for the shop. I did make one pair for me similar to the ones above. I really never repeat the same exact design. They are more of a simple design with the pearls and blush Quartz stones with sterling silver chain. The blush color looks good with everything.  

Below are mauve freshwater pearls, blush Quartz and large bronze freshwater pearls with leafy-like bead caps. Really pretty. 

Do you love? Yes, no, maybe so? I would love to know!
