French Medailles...

Bon Jour mes amis!!! Just wanted to introduce you here first to my new upcoming line..."French Medailles".
This line is all about simplicity and old elegance showcasing vintage French medals. Prices will be very affordable starting at $80 and not exceeding $125. My desire is to make a piece of French history affordable and wearable for everyone to experience. Here are the first four pieces in my Medailles series...












All four pieces will be available in my Etsy shop tonight. Or if you would like to inquire about them sooner, just email me using the form to the right.

I have bunches of these old, beautiful and fun medals, so there will be more to come in the following days.

Have a beautiful week and thanks for stopping by!

Bringin' On The Bling...


As of late, I have been on this huge rhinestone kick. I love them any way I can get them! Grungy and dirty, or shiny and full of "bling", and the older they are...the better! Here are my latest (and some older) designs loaded with one of my favorite jewelry making elements....



















See more of my latest designs in my Etsy shop tonight! Have a great week my friends and thanks for stopping by!!!

Almost There...

Bonjour mes amis, I just thought I would give you an update on my art room project. It's still coming along...but very slowly! You see, I ran into a small problem during the move, I lost the key to my antique sideboard that I use for storing the majority of my bits and baubles. And without any way to get in my sideboard, I have no way to get organized! Leave it to me to misplace the skeleton key to my sideboard during the move, it was only the most important thing I had to keep up with. LOL. But in the meantime, here are a few pictures of some of the partially finished places of the room...



I turned the closet into the computer station...


...and cheers to my sweet hubby, it took him 2 days and 5 trips to the hardware store to get my chandelier up. These vintage old chandeliers have some of the strangest pieces and parts to them...

Stay tuned for the chicken coop turned display cabinet. Yes, I said chicken coop, but it's the cutest little cabinet I have ever seen. Pictures on the way in the coming days!

Here's a new piece....

...that I actually made for myself!

I've had this locket (that would not keep closed) for a while now, and I decided to turn it into something special and sentimental...

I placed a lock of my very first dog's hair inside of the locket and sealed it permanently shut. I had been wanting to make a special piece with a memory of him attached to it for a very long time now and I finally had a chance. He has been gone for 3 years now and I still miss him terribly! That's a picture of him below...


 



I made my special piece to be worn multiple ways...
Do you have sentimental memento of a special person that you like to wear or keep close to your heart?

Thanks for stopping by and have a great weekend my friends!!!
