The little things

Sometimes it is the little things that bring so much joy.
I save bits and bobs of little things that I might use to tie on a package, mix in a collage or use in another crafty project.

A few sparkly bits which have been tucked away have found a new home in some new jewels.



A broken rosary, a random earring and some vintage glass beads are a few a my favorite things.
{tell me if Julie Andrews is singing that song from the Sound of Music in your head - haha, me too!}


My daughter went to an estate sale with my honey and brought me a surprise rhinestone necklace.
{I love my family, they get my love of quirky, vintage things}

I took apart the necklace and used it as part of the centerpiece along with a Mary medal for the repurposed necklace.

A little scatter pin was added to the longer necklace.


A little bird charm and sparkle magic.


Using found magpie objects and repurposing them into something new brings me joy.

Ever since I dicovered jewelry artist, Amy Hanna and her book "Rejuvenated Jewels", I have been smitten with repurposed jewelry.
I adore the wonderful objects she finds and the way she weaves them into something breathtaking.



Thanks for stopping by dear friends - have a beautiful day!
