Fascinating blog, post on Victorian mourning...

Recently I stumbled upon the most fascinating of sites, full of far off places, mummies and Gothic arches. If you were a child like I was, who dreamed of seeing the pyramids of Egypt and of standing before Stonehenge, be sure to take a few moments to visit. This was exactly the sort of thing, except in book form, that helped to foster a lifelong love of history and the past. Never made it to the pyramids but I did get to stand before Stonehenge!

The romance and wedding of Queen Victoria to Prince Albert in 1841 took on a new interest in sentimental and romantic jewelry. Victoria's engagement ring from… Continue

Sweater Clips: Pretty and Fun to Wear

Ok - I admit it. I'm a bit clip happy these days with vintage sweater clips (aka sweater guards). These little beauties are an easy collectible and fun to wear on a shirt, sweater, hat or pocket. I've even piled up a few and worn them together in a layered look. This morning I took pictures of the latest batch to come in and found this sweet one.

Jewelry Marks Part 2 - More "Real World" photos

I've mostly been laying around trying to behave myself. Had my appendix out 2 weeks ago & it wasn't the easy kind. I seem to not be able to grasp (I mean really cognitively!) how debilitated I am.... I'll feel better tomorrow, and then - oopps - she's down again!! I don't have any nerves where they made the incision in the midline of my belly from some cancer reconstruction several years ago. [OK tmi. SRY] So I don't have that nice little warning sign - otherwise known as PAIN!- to tell me "… Continue

Monday's Picks

I guess pick could be a play on words. I have always loved antique combs...the more elaborate, the better. They are great to have out on a dressing table just for decoration. I have long hair but not enough to keep one of these in place. … Continue

An Introduction is in Order.

I figured all you people might want to know at least a little bit of who I am and my background before following the crazy, jewelry making, blogging person. Well to start out, my name is Kayla and I am a November baby(that's right, Scorpio through and through). I was named after a soap opera star. Yes, that's a little TOO much detail, but I love that story =] I am 19 years young and simply cannot believe I will be 20 this year. I was raised a none practicing catholic, however the past few years… Continue

The Beauty of a Vintage Cross

With Easter coming up April 12th, I will be adding vintage crosses and/or crucifixes to my shop for those who would like a unique way to share their faith. There is something especially appealing about a cross, but even more so a vintage cross - at least to me. They evoke a feeling of tradition (history) and sentiment to them that many, myself included, find comforting and inspiring. They make excellent gifts for Mother's Day, graduation or for a friend going through difficult times. I particul… Continue
