Time for Some Vintage Summer Fun

Hi there, all you dear sweet Peeps!

New Day,

New Week,

And time for some Summer fun!

I put together a sweet little pendant necklace

for my Block Party Give-Away.

Vintage ladies' watch faces are so dainty,

so, I incorporated this one onto a charm,

with a Blinged Vintage Key and a teensy flower.

I'm making more this week and they'll be in my Etsy Store soon.

So keep checking back if you'd like one.

Update! Just listed 5 new pieces in my Etsy Store!

Yeah!!!

Today starts Block Party Week

hosted by our girls,

Heather and Vanessa from At the Picket Fence.

Each day this week

there will be a link-up for a Summer themed party.

Each link party has a Give-Away for participants.

So, the more you link up, the more chances to win fun stuff!

Check out At the Picket Fence

for the links to the Block Party blogs and parties!

Thanks so much for the love this weekend,

you all are the best!!!

Vintage Inspiration Friday #22 Morning Tea and Romance

The sun decided to make an appearance today,

so what better place to have tea than in the sunroom!

I brought out my new sterling silver tray that I received from my sis for Christmas, (yep, she's one great sister!) and a pretty pink floral Staffordshire teapot, cup and saucer, and journal to start the day.

I've been putting a few new pendant pieces together for Valentine's Day.

 Lots of hearts and cupids...

and of course some blinged keys.

I love graphics from the 20's and 30's,

and found these sweet little postcards last weekend at Spring Creek.

For anyone local, I'm now selling my jewelry at Inspirational Home

 and my booth at Spring Creek, in Ozark.

I've just listed these in my Etsy Store, The Petite Boutique

and have a few more designs in the works.

I'm lovin' these little Puffy Hearts!

Vintage Inspiration Friday# 20: Got some "Junk" in my Trunk

OK, I guess it's not junk

but I just had to say it!

I found this exquisite doll trunk a few years ago and used it for my jewelry display, but the trunk itself was, well... brownish-burgundy, and I felt that the wonderful damask mauve silk interior deserved something more feminine. I unearthed it from my garage last week and gave it about 4 coats of paint. The burgundy "bled" through, so now it's the palest shade of pink...just perfect!

I've been working on some Valentine things for my booth at Spring Creek, and bringing some of it into the decor this week. This little Paper Doll and hat box I found at Inspirational Home last year. I think we sort of look alike; she being muuuuch younger and maybe even more of a munchkin than me.(?)

I've been inspired by vintage ladies' pocketwatches and wristwatches,

so I decided to do my own take on them.

These are new battery operated watch faces

combined with charms and blinged keys.

I have a few Eiffel Tower charms added in,

and of course there are medals and crucifixes,

hearts, and keys.

even a birdie or two for Spring!

These are all in my Etsy shop, The Petite Boutique.

Come by and see what's there for Valentine's Day.

You can email me for a special made-for-you piece.
