So my lovelies, I launched my new pre-spring jewelry collection today with a brand new line of necklaces that I am very excited about!
The first batch of necklaces are listed in the NEW section of my Etsy shop. This delightful collection is surprisingly lightweight and has a wonderfully soft look, the buttons are covered with fabrics I've been collecting for many many years, mostly vintage, some new and many up-cycled and recycled from bits and pieces of clothing,linens and textiles I adore and could never part with...
The necklaces are mostly one-of-a-kind although I can re-create a few of them if I have more of the fabric, one way or the other each one is totally unique! The cabs are set in gold toned brass settings with antiqued brass chains and 14K gold fill components.
I can't wait to hear what you think!
Here are a few photos from the new line:
and a little more of a modern look:
and finally a few for the children shop made with teeny little ones:
I will be giving away one of the new necklaces to one of you lovely readers, so please leave a comment for a chance to win.

Well, now I'm really in for it! I just spent two days looking and narrowing down my purchase to 2 matching necklaces (one for my daughter and one for me) for Valentine's. I thought about it all day. This is my first time as a customer and I love the way you pull these collections together. Vintage with enough of a twist to make it modern. Wonderful. Love your new collection...so, more agonizing decisions!
