Our Hopeful Home: Announcing the Tarnished Grace Collection

January 17, 2012

Well, now I've gone and done it. I've challenged myself to create a new vintage-inspired jewelry collection and I'm puttin' it out there for all of you to see. That way I'll be held accountable by someone other than myself. Lord knows, if I'm the only one I have to answer to, the collection might never get off the ground! It's kind of like telling everyone you know that you're going on a diet, in the hopes that you'll actually stick with it long enough to make a difference in your life. I really want to stick with this and create a collection that I will be proud to present to you. Here's my first piece.

VINTAGE SHEFFIELD PENDANT WATCH CHARM NECKLACE

I was so excited when I found the vintage Madonna and Child medal on one of my recent thrift store excursions. It really became my inspiration for the necklace. Now all I need to do is make more {10 or 15 times more} and throw in some charm bracelets for good measure. Then my Etsy shop will be open for business once again! My current collection of jewelry is for sale locally at:

Sensible Threadz

Clothing, Bedding and Bath

208 S. Kirk Road

St. Charles, IL 60174

Stop on by if you're in the area.

My traditional line of vintage jewelry is there, along with some of my vintage Words in a Bottle Necklaces, which I'll be putting in my Etsy shop soon as well! Just a peek....
