Listings

Just started listing some new pieces tonight on etsy.   All the pieces shown are for sale. Please email me with any questions you may have. 

Margaritta time!

I found this pretty lil gal at the flea market this weekend.  I think I will call her Margarita!

I just finished listing a couple of wonderful pieces today. The bracelet shown below is one of my favorite things.  It's so hard to find crochet like this.  I have sewn it over a vintage French scapular that was also beautiful, together they are spectacular!

  The French crucifix rosary shown below is loaded with wonderful gemstones and religious pieces.

Last but not least is this wonderful anchor bracelet.  Perfect for  those sea lovers!

Couldn't resist including this photo of Sophia yesterday after she collecting a bunch of shrimp and temporarily  placed them in the dingy.  No worries, she got them back in the water safe and sound. It is crazy how many shrimp are in the water right now.

 

 

 

 

This and that

French medal, religious heart, gemstones and African beads.....................

All that glitters is not gold..

I have some fun glittery pieces listed on etsy right now.  The layered glitter necklace is a great piece and would be fun to wear with a little black dress to a party or wedding this summer it also looks great with a t-shirt and blazer.  Can't go wrong with a pair of sparkly earrings to wear in the evenings! 

 

Rainbows make me happy

Love all the colors of these gemstones mixed together, makes me feel happy inside. Just listed it on etsy.  Large wooden connector came from a vintage French rosary and the large sterling bead is also very old. Love how they just peek out from the side. 

I also listed a few of these wooden bead bracelets made from olive wood and vintage African trading beads . They are strung onto elastic and stretch to fit , they look great stacked on your writst.  I am in love with these beads they have such a nice feel to them.

Trading beads and leather cuffs

I have mixed a variety of African trading beads  with perfectly patinaed vintage French medals. Love all the shades of red in these beads They are all listed on etsy.

 

I have also mixed a bunch of treasures I have been collecting, vintage oil paintings, petit embroidered roses, vintage Asian fabrics, antique military metal threaded stars, vintage French laundry ribbon and other goodies onto leather to create one of a kind leather cuffs.  Each one is connected by a vintage buckle. They are also listed on etsy.  If you have any questions about anything please do not hesitate to ask me.
