A day at the flea market

Yesterday I spent a good portion of the day at our local flea market. I got some antique keys and vintage brass stampings for my jewelry designs. I also picked up a cute vintage Sarah Conventry necklace for only a buck! I forgot to put on sunscreen though, so a beautiful day turned into a very ugly sunburn!

Anklets!

Right around the time that Kashmira announced her first ever blog hop, I was creating a very special custom order for an anklet. I have been waiting for the reveal day and am very excited to show you what I've made!

An old friend of mine (like since second grade old), Mindy, requested I create an anklet for her wedding day!! I started with a delicate heart-shaped chain and some upcycled puff heart charms in sterling silver. I incorporated light gold toned Czech glass to matched the beading on her dress and blue Swarovski crystal bicones for "something blue".

I also created an anklet for one of her bridesmaids and another old friend, Ashley. I used the same heart chain and pretty purple agate beads.

Both looked lovely and so sparkly on the ladies. Mindy had a great wedding day and I wish her and her husband all the best in the world!
