Joyous Saturday

The Spring Bazaar at the Richland Area Community Center was amazing!  A big thanks to Lorie M. from Scentsy for making it all come together and to everyone who made it out on a rainy spring day. 

Making new connections and meeting amazing women who have that special entrepreneurial spirit really boosts my mood.  I am looking forward to seeing some who stopped by my table again to sit down and look through their old and broken costume jewelry!  We will "ReMary" it together!

Inventory

I honestly never thought there would be a day when I could say that I had "inventory"!  Well, today is the day...I have inventory and I am getting ready for this Saturday's SPRING BAZAAR in Richland.  I am looking forward to talking about what I do with all of that "junk" and broken jewelry and sharing some of the items I have already made!

Bracelet to left with leather strap, upcycled rhinestone button, salvaged crystal beads and pearls!

Butterfly Charm/Cherry Quartz
and Cat's Eye Bead Bracelet

Copper upcycled charm necklace.  Handmade copper links, findings and clasp with parts and pieces from broken belts, keys, necklaces, bracelets and everything in between.

Miss Su Modeling the Necklace!

Fever!

Creative juices flowing...I made this necklace from odds and ends, broken necklaces, earrings, clip earrings and misc. chain! I am having a hard time focusing on "my day job" with all of this inspiration floating around in my head!

WANTED: Inspiration!

I am seriously trying to mix things up and get myself inspired as the days get longer and spring is around the corner. Suede and two chunky necklace clasps make up this bracelet and the handmade copper findings and clasp add interest!

 

The Peach Pendant

This was simply a broken hair clip with a beautiful plastic coral colored setting. It is sterling silver and has tiny marcasite on the top filigree. It has a small chip on the top of the coral setting, so I covered it with antiqued gemstones...Perfect for spring!

Chain Gang

A glimpse at a couple of new/recycled bracelets using copper wire for handmade clasp hooks and jump rings...Love the mix of metal!

DON'T LOOK AT THIS NANCY!

It really isn't that much of a surprise, but I finished this set for Nancy today.  It is out of order of priority on what needs to be accomplished on my work bench, but I just love these stones and wanted to work with them.  Green Goldstone! Asymmetrically cut stones, this picture doesn't do them justice.  There are tiny specks of gold sparkle inside each stone and the green is so intense, like Emerald City Green.  We bought enough of these stones to make the necklace, earrings and a bracelet!
