Apple Poison Rings

Just got these adorable apple lockets in from http://dollarsupplies.etsy.com/. I can't wait to make a poison apple ring with them. Last night I put them in a tumbler to clean the raw brass up before I can add a patina to them. I also plan to cut off the small loop as I think the ring will look better with out it.

Heart Locket Earrings

My locket rings are very popular, so I thought I would add in some locket earrings to my shop. Fun to find ways to use lockets other than in a pendant.

These were made my adding a vintage patina to these lockets and then adding them to these cute bow leverback earwires.

Enjoy!

Homemade Caramels by CaramelJubilee

Words can barely describe the buttery soft goodness in these Caramels. I have ordered twice from this shop and can vouch how awesome these candies are. Fresh and Delicious!

This listing is for 16 oz (1 pound) of Vanilla Caramels. Farm-fresh butter, sea salt, sugar, real vanilla, and whole milk combine to give these a delightfully sweet flavor and blissfully soft texture. These caramels are cooked in small batches and wrapped entirely by hand.

Thank you SecretCake for being my 2000th heart. As a special treat, convo me for a free pair of pearl earrings.

I especially love this vintage piece of fabric you have in your shop.

1 yard cut of great vintage pink, green and orange floral fabric. From a Canon Perma-Prest, no-iron fine muslin reclaimed bed linen, this 50/50 cotton/poly blend fabric is super soft and had minimal fading.

Fabric is pre-washed with a phosphate, fragrance and dye-free, biodegradable detergent. It is air-dried and pressed prior to packaging and shipment.

Buttons are addictive as beads

I can see that buttons collecting is addictive as collecting beads. I recently came into a collection of old buttons. There are all kinds, wood, shell, plastic, and metal.

I had so much fun looking at them all and trying to figure out a few ring combinations.




Wooden Button Mother of Pearl Brass Ring

The first ring I made was with this old wooden button. Don't you love the texture and patina of the wood?

I put a carved mother of pearl button on top that has a starburst pattern. I also added 3 tiny brass beads just for fun.

The ring is on a darkened brass base and is adjustable from size 5 to size 7. Available in my Etsy shop.

Spring is almost here

It certainly seems a lot closer to Spring with the temps in the 70's in Indianapolis early March. I'm celebrating the warm weather by featuring this notecase and a pair of earrings today.
