What I've Made In Between Hockey Games...

Bon Jour everyone!!  I hope you had an enjoyable weekend.  Mine was

wonderful spending it with family and friends at my son's hockey games.

Even though I spend a lot of time in freezing cold hockey rinks I don't mind

because I love to watch him play.  He graduates this year so we will not see

him play hockey at this level anymore.  It will be very, very hard.

But I have some new pieces in the shoppe to show you.

Everything was designed with Valentine's Day in mind.

I wanted to make this a Valentine piece but not with the traditional colors of

Valentine's Day.  I accented the small brass locket with an old ivory cabochon 

flower.  Inside the locket I place purple felt and a small clipping with the

word "cherish".  The heart hangs from a very old Austrian made crystal former pin.

The necklace has soft green fluorite, genuine amethyst beads along with tiny old

brass style buttons, rhinestones and small faux pearl strands from an old bracelet.

I love this sterling silver former lapel pin in the shape of a heart

with the initials M B engraved on it.  The necklace has lots of 

gemstones and rhinestone pieces.

I mounted this oxidized "Amour" pendant piece and surrounded it with

vintage rhinestone links form an old necklace and then hung from a 

sterling spun silver bow that once was a brooch.  Two sparkling pale 

pink rose quartz gemstones were added.  Very simple, feminine and 

gorgeous.

Here a sterling silver cherub bust hangs from a necklace of gemstones,

rosary beads and other findings.  I have handmade a tiny heart pendant

from a small vintage crystal set former pin.  Inside is a piece from an old

french postcard.  The handwritten note shows the date as Sept. 1930.

Perfect little genuine carved shell cameo buttons now adorn these 

sweet earrings that hang from sterling silver oxidized ear wires.

Pear shaped citrine briolettes dangle from below.

Love these!  They are old filigree earring findings that were once screw

back earrings.  I have adorned them with tiny faceted pink tourmaline

and citrine briolettes.  Very Downton Abby!!

This bracelet is a charmer!  I began with an old amethyst glass set pin.

I have attached aquamarine and citrine gemstones and small brass

jewelry findings from vintage pieces.  A brass oval link chain finishes the piece.

I hope you have enjoyed seeing this part of my Valentine's Day Collection

There is more to see in the shoppe.

Thank you for visiting!  Do let me know you stopped by

and I will be sure and return the favor!!
