new design!

Hot off the crafting presses! I've just created a new button necklace design.... (Please excuse the poor photo quality; this was taken with my cell phone this morning on my way to work. :) ) I'm super excited about this new style...I love the simplicity & elegance of the buttons with the silver chain. Especially with the vintage mother-of-pearl buttons.

I'll be doing lots of crafting in the car on my way to Georgia this weekend, so check in for more goodies next week...& better pictures!

vintage spools!!

spool jewelry is the new black.

thanks to a very productive day of yard-sale-scavenging, i've got a couple of these cuties listed in my etsy shop right now, & more will be up soon!

i just love the look of these vintage wooden spools...i never fail to get numerous compliments on my necklace whenever i wear it. many of the spools still have the manufacturer's labels on them! others bear an imprint rather than a paper label....

a spool necklace just seems like the perfect piece of jewelry for a crafter, no? or maybe a pair of earrings, for the bold.
