family.

after months of wanting to make a necklace for a really good eyebrow client of mine, i finally finished it today! she has two very bright little boys (twins) and recently had a sweet baby girl. i made her a necklace with the initials and birthstones of her kids. 

 gold-filled chain

sterling silver charms w/ stamped initials

tourmaline drops

sapphire bead

 another stretch bracelet made with pyrite and a gold filled bead.

a couple days ago, my mom and cousins were cleaning out my aunt's closets that were FILLED with all sorts of dishes, pots, pans, serving ware, etc. it was a daunting task that had been put off for years. they found all sorts of things, including this amazing vintage crock pot that i will now use as my pickle pot. :)

p.s. we will be putting on an estate sale with a lot of the pieces we found. there are some really great and practically new things for the home...i will have more info when the time comes.
