A Truly Divine Swap

Okay I love the word "divine" and probably use it way too much and I also have a very strong religious faith so you know this swap is for me! To sign up, check out Magical Musings.

Fun Jewelry

I've been working on some fun jewelry for my shop. I never knew how rewarding, inspirational, and most of all fun - it would be to have a little shop. Above is a pair of pink rose earrings made from fabulous vintage Japanese plastic rose charms. I just love these guys and made a pair for myself! I'm also planning to work on some more vintage jewelry items and boxes this weekend. The weather here is kind of iffy so I should have some time - oh that and I have to finish Harry Potter! Almost there - just a few chapters to go! It is definitely bittersweet because once I turn that last page, there will be no more Harry to read! Waah! What are your weekend plans?

More yummy vintage Japanese plastic rose charms, this time in pale yellow.

I thought it would be fun to imitate some cherries - these are in Swarovski crystal and vintage glass.

I had some great vintage AB green glass beads and some fabulous Tensha rose beads, I threw in some Swarovksi cubes and came up with this bracelet.

Can you believe it is almost August?! Where did the summer go? Do you think it will come back if I ask really nicely? God Bless all of you and stay safe.

Creative Fun

I've been working on some fun custom orders for the talented Angelina. She requested a lemon box as well as a cherry box.

She also sent along this fun pink and white Christmas image and asked me to create a box featuring it. We agreed a rectangle box would be better suited. She requested it be done in pinks and whites but left the rest up to me. I hope she is pleased with the outcome!

Here is a photo of her three boxes. These were a lot of fun to work on. Thanks so much for your support Angelina!

I also created this custom bracelet featuring a vintage rhinestone focal. I've recently been lucky enough to receive a lot of great vintage jewelry pieces from several friends so I'll be creating some more vintage inspired items for my shop. I'm having so much fun with it! Thanks so much to all of my wonderful blogging friends for supporting me in this. I've always wanted to create and share my creations and I never thought it would be possible until I came across this wonderful community. I treasure each and every one of you and I thank you for inspiring me everyday.
