Mom-O-Matic’s Automat

April 30th, 2008 Kristen Posted in Jewelry, Uncategorized 2 Comments »

I was looking for some vintage buttons on Etsy when I came across Mom-O-Matic’s Automat shop! I fell instantly in love with her vintage flower button rings and felt the need to share. I’m partial to the pearly pink one, all though I love the design of the purple flower too. I thought they were a perfect little pop of spring on your finger…or maybe just a little piece of unexpected flair for your outfit. Either way they are totally fun and I think everyone needs one! There more designs in the shop to be had, I was just partial to the ones with petals!  (Added bonus - the pink one’s on SALE!!!)

“Pearly Pink Vintage Button Ring” $3 SALE!!!

“Purple Peony Ring” $10

“Moss Rose Vintage Button and Brass Ring” $9

Delia’s Delight!

April 9th, 2008 Kristen Posted in Jewelry No Comments »

Delia’s Delight jewelry is one of the artists featured in the Indie Love Spring Guide! It’s her attention to detail, creative use of color, and understanding of texture that always catches my eye. I have chosen two of my favorite pieces from her Etsy Shop. I am loving all things white this season, don’t know why, I just do! The necklace below has a dragonfly on it, and that reminds me of my mother so I had to pick that one…if by any chance the HUBBY IS READING…this would be an EH-HEM situation.

“Crystal Dream Cuff” $70

“Brass Dragonfly and Amethyst Necklace” $95

Cambria’s Creations

I recently received a comment on one of my posts from a 12 year old jewelry maker named Cambria!  She runs her business with the help of her mom and dad.  She comes to read the blog because she finds  it inspiring…I was so touched!  She’s been making jewelry for 2 years and recently opened an Etsy shop called Cambria’s Creations.  Part of the reason I post is to share other people’s work with the world…I an overjoyed that it is inspiring young craft artists!  I checked out Cambria’s Etsy Shop and found quite a few beautifully crafted creations.  (She’s quite the talented young lady!!!)  Here are my favorites: (I’m partial to green can you tell?)

 

“Rocks N Moss Necklace”$30

“Green Moss Earrings” $8

“Green Girl Earrings” $7

I love the messages on these pendants by Allison Strine Designs and the well put together imagery. They make excellent gifts for others or for yourself. Sometimes you need a little mantra tucked behind your pendant to remind you who you are or who you want to be…or just to get you through a rough time.

“See How Powerful She Is…” $30

“She Has Faith In Her Little Girl” $30
