I had an early meeting this morning with a client interested in a few
commission pieces. She has her grandmothers jewelry and wants a
necklace made to welcome her soon to be sister-in-law into the family.
We also decided to make a bracelet and necklace for her. I can't wait to get started! Custom pieces are my favorite to create.. I love the sentimentality people hold to their family heirlooms. I guess that's because I am such a sentimentalist myself! (ok...that's my BIG word for the day!:-))
I will update you on these pieces, after my client receives them.
Since the last few days have been rainy and a bit gloomy here, and I was up and out early, I thought today would be a perfect day to check out the antique shops in my town. And boy did I score some wonderful stuff!
A great brass lucky horseshoe, black glass faceted beads, cut steel buttons....
Silver chain, rhinestone buckles, and those sweet little old brass turtle screw back earrings!
Also these wonderful vintage tins.....which I will be updating you about very soon.
Well that was my "Fun Friday Finds"......Have a great weekend everyone!
And remember......
"Weekends don't count unless you spend them doing something completely pointless." -Bill Watterson
I thought I was the only one to re-purpose vintage jewelry ... it's so nice to see this is being done elsewhere. I really think it helps "save the planet" and we can recycle so much and transform items into new and exciting finds. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHappiness to all.
Thank you ArtSings. I agree, I love to re-purpose and have a hard time throwing something away that still has some life and beauty in it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great find! Sounds like you had a lot fun!
