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.

dominoes & buttons.

i've been ebay-ing a lot this weekend, & i've got lots of goodies comin my way, including some amazing vintage bakelite buttons, some delish vintage pendants (they're a hoot!), & more...depending on what i win today! hooray for good deals!

so watch this space & my etsy shop in the next week or so, cause i'm going to be crafting some fabulous items with my new finds, & you definitely won't want to miss out--i've got lots of new designs & ideas brewing. i'm really excited!


i forgot my ipod cable when i came to work today, otherwise you'd be feasting your eyes on some juicy new neckwear this very moment...but all my new photos are trapped on my ipod, so you'll just have to wait a lil longer. i'll leave you with two words: mini dominoes!
