Barbie Bling! Retro Redo




Picked up these kewl vintage Barbie shoe party favor earrings- hot pink high heels with white polka dots. See 2nd pic. Actually, got 2 packages but having 3 girls, they each wanted a pair. My eldest teenager is artsy-fartsy/funky and thought they were fun. My middle teenager has always been a Barbie freak and very girly-girl so she too thought they were great. And my little one, well, she just HAD to have a pair as is as they were the coolest thing ever to her. No pierced ears yet for her and these are the plastic clip ons, perrrrrrrfect!
The left overs I am guarding--- making into dangly earrings for etsy. See first pic. Fun. Fun. FUN!!! I used Sterling Silver fish hooks and sterling silver wire to wrap. Added Swavorski crystals for some sparkle. I just listed so find on PoshSauce via etsy.

Not Just For Breakfast Anymore!

I've been doing WAY too many Microscope Slide Pendants. Been seeing everything in 1 x 3 snippets.

I had Cherry Frosted Pop Tarts this morning for Breakfast. Can you tell?

Simple Elegance via the Sea



I have been experimenting with resin. I am loving the look and feel it gives. Not to mention how it protects the item and amplifies. Kinda tricky to use but I am getting the hang of it.
I did a few pendants with sea shells mounted on glass and added a Sterling Silver bail. As a side note, I can't believe how high Sterling is jumping... YIKES!!!
Just listed these pendants on ETSY for only $12 each with free shipping. I was able to put in a large wholesale order of these sterling bails to get a good price break and am passing that on :-).
Happy Monday to all!

Happy Earth Day!!!

ETSY has been down all Saturday night and into the day Sunday. Growing Pains, which can be a good thing! Last time I checked they said should be up by today at 4:30 pm. I am not holding my breath.

Went junqing on Saturday and found a vintage Monopoly game at a church rummage sale. Brought it home to play with. Was inspired to do a game token bracelet and am now just waiting for ETSY to come back up to list.


Here is a sneak peek...

Virgin Blog!

Going to try this blog thing. I just started peddling my wares on ETSY. So check me out and tell me what you think--- but go easy, remember I am a Virgin Blogger and Etsyite.

Still trying to make my way around and figuring it out as I go.

Listed several new items this week. This one is my Mood Indicator pendant. Great if you are Bipolar.

Flip it to the side you need...
