Some more charms









Made a few more charms. Here is a little Witch Charm riding a broom just in time for Halloween, listed in the store for $8.00 and a sweet Girl and her Doll charm necklace with a key charm for $10.00. These are addictive to make.

New Glass Charms







I have been dying to make these glass charms for some time now. I have admired others like Sally Jeans work and her book Pretty Little Things, still have to get it. Luckily my husband has all the soldering tools so that worked out well. I have been fooling around with some solder work it is very picky to work with you need patience, I ruined about 4 charms till I got the hang of it. I made this large charm it is 2 inches square with beveled square in the center, sweet little twin girls on the vintage photo and the back is a french script Ma Petite Cherie. I will list this one in the shop. I am working on some beautiful vintage Christmas scenes for the charms, perfect for tree trimming of to hang anywhere.

New Shop Item Peek


In keeping with the Faith theme I set out to make a few little pieces for the shop using some wonderful early Conformation Photos I came across. This photo of a young girl in tinted in a sepia toned ink and is dated 1904, very beautiful dress. I used this image for a new tin, this tin is filled with vanilla scented candles. Well it's back to school tomorrow, my daughter who is 4 is so excited to go to JK....and so am I! You can only keep them entertained so long by the end of the summer the kids are getting a little crazy.
