Everything old is new again...
Do you ever have big plans that you never actually manage to make time for? For a long time now I’ve wanted to attack a pile of vintage trinkets collected over the last few years and to breathe new life into them. They need checking, cleaning, and finally, creative embellishment. Works of art that the "restoration team" just hasn’t gotten to them yet. Most have had a life of their own before they made it to my hands. Each one so unique, you would never see them anywhere else. But what are the stories behind them? I will never know.

Wanted...Dead or Alive
I just couldn't resist putting these 3 items together. And what a look girl! Biker chick, bad girl, gypsy, boho chic, cowgirl... whatever the feel, it's definitely worth a second look.

Baby It's Cold Outside
The wet and cold weather has just put me in a lethargic mood. What better way to while away the time than coming up with some pretty necklaces. Like this one...a vintage laundry pin that I came across last year. After some months sitting in the box, this is what I've done to give it a new lease of life, accompanied by some charms and beads. SOLD

New Beginnings
I'm going to give it a go... at blogging.
Blogs have been so creatively inspiring for me, and such a comfort knowing that there are others like me out there, those that need to create, and like to share. The amazing community of craft/bloggers has been a real find, and I hope this is the start of a positive new journey in which I have something worthy to contribute.
I have been spending time organising my "junk" in the hope of getting a good start to designing this year. You'll definitely see posts of new necklace designs as and when I complete them.
Here's crossing my fingers and toes that I keep to it, and here's to new beginnings!
