A squirrel and some nuts!



I found these sweet sachets in JackRabbit's shop on Etsy and couldn't resist buying one. I love watching the squirrels gather and stash acorns and all kinds of nuts right now.

These adorable mini acorn pillows have a variety of uses. They are all one of a kind and handmade from fabric remnants and vintage lace.

Use as a pincushion while sewing your latest creations or spray with your favorite perfume or room spray and place in a linen or underwear draw to keep things smelling sweet. Each pillow is 3 x 3.5 inches and has a vintage lace loop for hanging.




Doesn't that sachet go perfectly with my Squirrel Acorn necklace? This necklace began with a shiny brass squirrel piece that I added patina to, and attached to a chain with three freshwater pearl acorns. The pearls are a lime yellowish green.

Chandelier Crazy


For some reason, I have been on a chandelier craze recently. I found some really pretty components, so I snapped them up and have been playing around with what to use with them.

The red earrings have some lovely raised relief flowers on them.





The purple earrings each have a pair of lovebirds on them. So sweet, long, lightweight and feminine!










The green earrings have some scroll work in the shape of hearts.

I will say I am amazed at what people charge for making them. It is time consuming to make sure the dangles are all the correct length. The perfectionist in me has to make them just so.

Enjoy!

Sharing some love with the Jewelry on Etsy Team and Bob of Jewelry24Seven. Bob has a way with words. Check out this sweet review he did of my jewelry on the Team blog.


He did a great job and gave me permission to borrow some of the review he did.

Poison Apple Locket Ring


By TheBrassHussy (me)


How fun, I finally took the time to finish this ring.

It originally was a shiny brass locket with a small bail on the top that I filed off. Then I added a bronzy vintage patina and used epoxy to adhere to an adjustable brass ring that has a gorgeous raised relief design.

Available here in my etsy shop!
