Vintage BUTTONS!


I have a huge stash of vintage buttons that were given to me by my grandma and my aunt, both who have passed away. They are the odd lots from dresses that my grandma made for my mom and 2 aunts while they were growing up. So I have started to make little shadow boxes for them out of copper that I have etched and lined with vintage script. Now if I can only find all of the old wooden needle cases that I have....

Metal Stamp Give Away!

Yippee...a chance to win a metal stamp set from PJ Tool & Supply!


The letters are small -- 1/8" (3mm), so you can really get a lot of words on your stamped jewelry. This font is whimsical, including a-z and a question mark. The stamps are made of hardened carbon tool steel and can stamp precious metals, soft steel, aluminum, and even wood.

First, thank PJ Tool & Supply for this opportunity.

Etsy Shop

Happy New Year! I know I am a few days late, but they have been a busy few day! We had a hockey tournament over the weekend, took 3rd, and have been stocking the Etsy shop! Now I need to get back to inventory for a few days before I head off this weekend to my first wholesale show of the 2011 season.
