I got a new hat this weekend, I think every single one of my friends made fun of it. I also got a new shiny red tea pot…but no one made fun of that.
Wearing: new hat (hence the new hat post), this vintage bag, vintage jumper and belt soon to be in Haberdash Vintage and Vivienne Westwood suede ankle booties.
Once you quote Beyoncé there is a shortage of good songs about rings left. But you can never go wrong with J.T. lyrics. I’ve noticed my ring collection has doubled in size over the last few months and thought I would share my new favorites. Anyone else have a addiction to rings?
Still wearing the crap out of silver and turquoise. I remember first falling in love with turquoise. It was at a flea market my mother would drag me to in New Hampshire (because they served beer). The place was over flowing with silver jewelry and Nascar items. I’m glad I didn’t take a liking to both.
Pretty sure the cable company will understand if I purchase this ring with the payment that was meant for them. After all its their fault I am obbsessed with True Blood.
At StArt on the Street on Sunday I acquired what could possibly the coolest piece of handmade jewelry I have ever seen. I’ve been on a accessory kick lately(OK, maybe a shoe kick also). As Kate and I were walking around the market discussing how its hard to find really unique jewelry. We stumbled on to the Dragons Heart booth. This whimsical booth was filled with some of the coolest stuff I’ve seen all season. I grabbed this chain mail bracelet and claimed it as my own in about 0.2 seconds. I think the people running the booth thought I was a crazy person, I was mumbling about fashion week and Sass and Bide. Maybe some of you will understand my love for chain mail.
Dragons Heart does not have a Etsy Store yet. But you can email them @dragonsheartchainmaille@yahoo.com
This is pretty much my ideal engagement ring. If any of you should ever want to propose you can find this bad a** masterpiece at Bona Drag.
A gift from a sweet and very talented little lady in my town. Thank you, Heather.
For years I have heard that Florida has the best vintage, yet every time I travel there I return empty handed. I thought it was just me, but had mentioned to me that she had the same experience. If any of you have some secret Florida vintage shopping locations that us nonresidents are not aware of please spill it.
With exception to a few antique shops on Dearborn in Olde Englewood and this amazing vintage jewelry booth inside the Dome Flea Market. Shopping was a bust.
I did manage to pick up this ring as a little vacation souvenir:
Sunday’s Clothes Swap was a success! It was really exciting to spend the day with the talented and fabulous girl’s behind the Design Hive, Shoe String, MakeReady and Your Fairy Godshopper. I also had the pleasure of meeting fellow Blogger’s Liana and Thais. The snow didn’t scare away the Boston swapping crowd with about 150 attendees. If you missed this swap and don’t want to miss another, you can subscribe to our RSS or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
While pursuing through some old photos on Flickr today I came across some that I don’t remember sharing with you. In October Kyle’s Mother flew up from Port Charlotte with a gift for me, a box filled with my favorite thing ever (besides puppies) vintage estate jewelry. Yeah, seriously check out all these jewels.
“Name Plate Jewelry” has been one of the top search terms for my blog for the last few years. Google has been sending hundreds of people each week to my blog ever since I posted about my Punky necklace back in 2006.
I thought it would be nice to give the people what they are looking for and post my favorite Etsy Shops for personalized jewelry. Click the photos to visit the shops.
One of my favorite Etsy sellers opened an online shop today. Use code YAYNEWSHOP for a 10% discount. Go on over there and check it out!
