New Crafts and Etsy Listings

I know this is my third post today...but I've been busy crafting, and I'm too excited to keep these new pieces from you any longer.

I've been wanting a rosette necklace of my own for quite sometime. I've entered so many giveaway in the hopes of winning one, but I just haven't been that lucky! I finally found some time to make this beauty. I love it even more than the ones I tried to win! I used a new patterned fabric that features pink, green, blue, and teal. I placed the 5 rosettes on a silver chain long enough to slip it over my head. I love a necklace without clasp.

I wore my new necklace today as a pop against my solid purple tee. I haven't made any more of these yet, but I'll take custom orders if anyone is interested. I hope to put a few in my shop soon!

This idea came from a fellow architecture student. He sent me a link to a tutorial for this grown-up friendship bracelet. I've made three in the past couple of days but haven't been able to post them to my shop.

I will take custom orders for these too. These can be made with any color combination. The bracelets clasp with a lobster hook.

Today I posted new rosette headbands, a braided headband, and a new necklace to my Etsy shop. Let me know what you think of them!

Don't forget about the purse "garage sale" I'm having!!
