Eye Candy For September French Flea Sale and Junk Bonanza Sale

One of my favorite necklaces. Sold 9/10/09 at the French Flea.

Vintage Redesign!!! Oh, how I love to create with these time-worn elements. I ponder, "who used to own this pocket watch?" Where did it come from? How old is it? And, on and on and on. This would be so cool for an Illinois resident to be the owner of this Illinois brand watch face turned pendant.
It is quite long in length. At least 32 glorious inches of vintage faux glass pearls and rhinestone roundels that have been pain stakenly created by hand with the patina ed black wire that I love to use. Love the teeeny tiny mother of pearl heart that was a found element that I used to cover the hole on this piece.

The wonderful time-worn feel of vintage glass faux pearls and rhinestone roundels make this a timeless piece.

Hand created hook and clasp closure that I create on many of my one-of-a-kind creations.

"Lucky 8"

(Sold at the French Flea)

Love the patina on this #8. Wish I could find more numbers like this, but this is the one and only found as is from the Oronoco Flea Market I attended last month. Love the bling with the vintage #8. The contrast is what I enjoy.

The focal portion, awaiting a chain with the right patina to go with it. All the details matter when designing. There isn't anything haphazard going on when I'm creating. It happens for a reason. This is a longer necklace and the watch face flows freely from the #8, thus I decided to make it 2 sided in case the watch face portion flips while wearing.

Front side of Dangle.

Back side of dangle.

will continue to showcase new designs every couple of days. I have the "French Flea" sale next week in Anoka, Minnesota, from the 10-13 of September. There will be a 2 day break and then on that Wednesday I go to Canterbury Downs to spend the entire day helping build a vendor booth and three other gals and I will be selling at the annual Junk Bonanza event from the 17-19th of September. Next blog post, I will have links to these events. Come see me at either of these locations. Some of the designs showcased are only available at one or the other location. Need to save good stuff for both places. Lots more to come and even more wonderful things are in store.
