Featured Item of the Week

I should really start having featured items of the month, since I can't seem to keep up with weekly blog posts. That's pretty sad.

Anyway, I am having featured items this week:

These lovely Rose Dangle earrings were added to my Etsy shop last night. I love colored rose beads paired with the smaller gold roses. With a pearl on the end, these earrings are perfect to dress up any outfit.

I'm very proud that I got a few things up on my shop last night. Hopefully more to come today!

This Week's Featured Item

This week's featured item is one of my Vintage Finds Cuff Bracelets.

I started with a light weight aluminum cuff blank. I wrapped the cuff in tan linen and made braided rosettes bases.

The single pink flower was a vintage earring, and the ornate flower cluster was a brooch. The cameo is a new piece added with the old. I love the color combinations and visual interest of this bracelet.

This Week's Featured Item(s)

This week's featured items are my earring holder frames.

These are just so great. I have one that I couldn't live without. I don't know how I functioned before having one! My earrings stay organized and are displayed like a piece of art. Each frame has a saw tooth hanger attached to the back, so frames can be hung on the wall. The frames can also be displayed on an easel or propped against the wall on your vanity or dresser.

At school, mine always hung in my closet with my other jewelry organizers.

Both of my roomies had ones hanging in their rooms too. (Sorry I don't have a pic of you with yours, Catherine.)

I have three ready for sale in my shop, but I take custom orders. Let me know what size/color you need for your earrings! These would be the perfect gift for any lady in your life. Christmas is just around the corner!

Today's Featured Item

Today I'm featuring my Vintage Bow Bracelet, and I'm presenting you with my first "Buy This - Not That" scenario.

I wrapped a light-weight aluminum cuff with tan linen and vintage chain. I then re-purposed a vintage gold bow brooch as the perfect cuff accent.

Bows are big!! I've done my research and found comparable bow bracelets.

This bracelet found here costs $110.

Leighton Meister wore this bow cuff in an episode of Gossip Girl.
 One like that costs $150 here.

Get these two looks for less with my $15, one-of-a-kind cuff.

This Week's Featured Item

This week's featured item is my Gold Filigree Pendant Necklace.

I love the simple design of this necklace. It will surely go with any outfit. The antiqued gold gives the chain and pendant a vintage feel.

This week's featured item is one of my new Earring Holder Frames.

This large white frame measures 14.5" x 17.5". Depending on the size of each pair, this frame could hold over 40 pairs of earrings! The sawtooth hanger on the back allows this frame to easily be hung on the wall of your closet, bathroom, bedroom, or dressing area. Your earring could make beautiful "art" in any space! Stay organized while showing off your beautiful jewelry! Mine makes accessorizing so much easier. I can't even remember how I used to store my earrings.

These have proven to be very popular! I have two, so contact me today if you would like both frames. I can adjust the Etsy listing. These make great presents! (Especially to someone going off to college...perfect for dorm rooms and apartments!!)

Today's Featured Item

With all the attention this ring got two Saturday's ago at my Market Day Sale, I'm not sure how I still have it.

So many people tried it on and loved it! It's the one item that I cannot believe didn't sell (just based on the sheer number of people who picked it up).

I absolutely love this ring (which might be why I kept it's twin for myself). I'm not sure it will make it through another Market Day sale. If you have to have it, buy it now!

This Week's Featured Item(s)

This week's featured item is a little different that usual. Normally, I choose an item from my shop to highlight each Monday. This week, I've decided to choose a group of three "grown-up" friendship bracelets that haven't been added to my shop yet! These are a new design of an "old" favorite! I used single looped gold chain with large gold lobster clasps and a new color palette.

The gold chain is accented by navy blue, teal, sea green, and coral. Bracelet #1 features a solid navy section with a mix of teal and sea green section. Bracelet #2 features two sections of coral and teal braided to the chain. I love that color combination. Bracelet #3 features navy blue and teal.

Each of these bracelets is currently for sale for a flat rate $15 shipped. I will slowly be adding these (along with other new and old designs) to my shop in the coming weeks, and prices will be raised. Don't miss on this opportunity!! Add one of these to a purchase from my shop by including a note to the seller, and you will receive a greater discount!! Contact me with questions.

Featured Item of the Week

Today's featured item is this pair of key earrings.

These utilitarian keys make a bold statement. These keys have much cleaner lines than the decorative keys I've used to make earrings before. They are sure to go with any outfit.

The key hangs one and half inches from a pewter fish hook earring. Add something unique to your jewelry wardrobe! Visit my shop!

Featured Item of the Week

This week's featured item is Easter inspired.

This fashion ring has always reminded me of an Easter egg. The fabric covered pendant used to be the charm on a post earring. I love the colors and the design, but this is just too large to be an earring.

Personally, I don't think rings can be too large! So, its new life as a ring began. Order today to receive this ring by Easter!

I'd like some anonymous feedback, so check out the poll in my sidebar. I'm thinking of making some changes to get ready for an even bigger change!

Featured Item of the Week

This week's featured item is one of my newest listings.

This Rosette Headband features a multi-colored fabric rolled into two rosettes. I love the combination of one large rosette with a small one.

This fabric really lends itself to be worn with any outfit. It features so many colors on a white background. I placed the rosettes on a thin metal headband.
