Antique Hunting...



The annual antique show came to town this past weekend and I was able to dig up a few treasures. Mostly old shoe buckles, but I did happen upon this amazing little beauty......


This is so exquisite, as it is solid mother of pearl! 


The inside is timeworn and well loved...


...and it has little pockets inside to store secret love letters or special keepsakes.

The antique show wasn't a total disappointment, as I found this stunning old Victorian painting for a super deal.....


I've already gotten down to business with some of my antique show findings and made this "blinged" out black velvet bracelet...


...find this classic beauty and the following new designs in my Etsy shop this afternoon...














Hope everyone is staying warm out there. 
I'll be in my Etsy shop later today with these new, sweet pieces!

Hi Friends! I found myself in a creative slump this past week, but still managed to get a few pieces finished for the Sunday shop listings. I played around with some old photos and created this sweet baby bracelet....




...and I also finished up this gorgeous cobalt blue rhinestone Maltese necklace...


I will also have a pair of earrings coming too...you can catch those later today on Instagram and in my Etsy shop. So stop by and visit me there, as I will be posting more photos of these fun, new pieces. Have a great rest of your weekend!!!

Beautiful Textures...


Just finished up this past week with some new jewels that feature lots of elegant textures. Here's a little preview...

















rhinestones and antique bullion tassels provide unique texture for these "Royal Spanish Army" earrings...



...and how much fun are these druzy quartz drops on my newly designed "Moon Rocks" earrings???...






These five new pieces will be available for further viewing and purchase in my Etsy shop later today. Happy Sunday everyone!!!
