I wanted to keep it a bit more modern then my usual look. I combined a vintage drawer-pull plate with an antique victorian button, but kept it light on a simple copper chain.
I have a second shop at Etsy where I have been selling vintage items and destash. I've found some boxes of old treasures in the second story of the barn from the antiquing days. There are finds that I forgot I even had. I've kept a few found-objects for making jewelry, but most I'm cleaning out in hopes they'll find a new home with a new appreciation!
Whenever I look at it I think how fun it would be to have a garden tea-party!

Last fall I found a stray kitty at my bird feeders. It's occured to me that I haven't kept you all posted on our little Bella. Well she's not so little anymore. It didn't take long for the dirty bag-of-bones to clean up! Here she is 9 months later.....
As you can see, she knows a good home when she sees one!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So after writing this post, I'm finding it will definetly take a little getting used to here at Blogger. The one issue I just had, was that the photos went straight to the top when I uploaded them, making it a total freakin' pain! I usually write, add a photo, write some more, add another photo. I'm not sure if I'm doing something wrong, but if anyone has some advice, I'd love to hear it! After all these years of blogging with the same service, it might be hard to change my ways!
I am a self-taught mixed-media artist specializing in new ways to create found-object jewlelry. I literally grew up in the world of, "all things vintage" and still find old oddities to be my muse along with my home in the country and the natural surroundings Maine has to offer.
