Back to school earrings :)

I made some pretty earrings for a special lil girl for

her back to school gift!

Sometimes I like trading and bartering rather than taking money,

especially from someone as talented as Sabrina Blok

of Sab's Creations!

Here are the pretty earrings that I made for Bella :)

Arent they lovely?!

She is the cutest little girl and she's so girly! She's going

to love them :) Also, since she is a child I put niobium ear wires on so

she shouldnt be irritated at all. I love the hand blackened brass and Czech glass together.

She also chose this pretty necklace to give to Bella's last teacher/sitter/friend

at the end of last year for the barter. 

OOPS! I noticed my spelling error I did there in the watermark....!

2 beautiful pieces!!

Want to see what I got in return??

I LOVE IT!!

The colors in this lil bebe quilt are just so vivid and bright!

I am super excited to become an auntie soon :)

Only 4 weeks left! 

I chose this quilt because I LOVED the colors - and that Minkie 

fabric - so soft!

That was before we knew that baby Farrah is a girl!!

She did offer to switch it for a more feminine one, but I just love this quilt

so much! I really am not in to the standard stereotypes anyways.

Megan (my sister) hasnt received this gift from me yet, but I dont think

she reads my blog anyways!  

I got the quilt months ago and she got the necklace way back when,

but Bella just got her Back to School earrings today, so I thought I would share.

enjoy!

Jewelry - For a cause!

When I was vending at our lone booth 

(it was very busy! We were the only booth though)

a little girl asked what the cause was. 

At first we thought she asked what the COST

was.... as she was looking at one of 

Sabrina's beautiful quilts.

We told her the price and she corrected us,

No, the CAUSE. What cause is this booth for?

We looked at eachother and thought oh dear. 

We had to tell her that there was no cause 

WE were the cause, lol! 

Oh, she said and walked away.

That got me thinking. I SHOULD

be donating proceeds to the

Canadian Cancer Society.

If it wasnt for them, 5 years ago

when they gave my husband 3 months

to live because of a horrid fist sized tumor 

wrapped around his pituitary gland that was SO

big that it pinched off his optic nerve in

his eye causing him to loose sight in it - 

he would be long gone by now!

But he's still kickin' it with me 5 years later 

because of the Canadian Cancer Society.

They also help to pay for a medication

that is $32 per pill! Wowzers!

So, to thank them, I have come up with

The LIFE Collection.

Partial proceeds of each LIFE Collection necklace 

sold will be donated to the Cancer Society.

I really hope they do well, for such a great cause

and for how they help us and so many

others, it's the least I can do!

I hope you love them as much as I do - 

and the cause! If they do well, I hope to keep

on with it and keep it going strong. 

If you are interested in purchasing one of these
necklaces, you can find them here
or message me and I will shoot you an
invoice.

Thanks 

Canadian Cancer Society!

2 new necklaces handmade by me!

I just wanted to show you the 2 new creations Im about to add to the shop. I'm really excited about these two jewelry pieces! For awhile there, I was making my jewelry highly detailed with so many elements to it  - not that it didnt look good, I love EVERY single one! But this time I decided to create something a little simpler - and I just adore how they turned out! Here is my write up about the necklace above:

 "This lovely necklace features a cluster that includes an inch long cobalt blue glass bead, a vertibrae bone from an unknown source and a round faceted brown bead that shimmers blue in the light which is capped with a blackened brass filigree flower. 
Above, connected by a large brass circle, is a hand blackened brass detailed bee - actually - he more looks like a fly doesnt he?! He is a 3 point connection to the flat cable chain that leads to the lobster clasp closure.

This necklace is one of a kind and will not be making another one the same to guarantee that. 
However if you miss out and REALLY liked it, I will make similar!

All of the brass that I use is guaranteed nickel and lead free and is supplied by Fallen Angel Brass Co in New England, USA.

The second one is just as pretty! I really dont know which one I like better - I love them both so much! Here is my write up for this pretty one:

This cluster necklace holds a blackened brass key, a chunk of genuine turquoise, a lil' shell and a brown faceted glass bead that shimmers blue in the shining light. 
A large brass circle connects the cluster to the flat cable chain where on one side a swallow in flight sits right on the collarbone. 
This piece closes with a lobster clasp.

Arent they purdy? The hardest part for me doing this is having to sell them and then they are gone.... lol, I cant keep them all! But I guess knowing that they are making someone else happy is worth it in the end!

Thanks for looking!!
