I’d seen several designers using sari silk in some beautiful designs so I decided to play around with some yesterday. I love the feel of this. I only bought one color but I think I’ll try more!
It’s very light & soft. I think a necklace will be coming soon!
Look at the next Room With a Past sale for these. Or leave a comment if you’d like one. $9.00 + 2.50 s/h. I can put different charms on it & will include an extension chain with a tiny vintage bead at the end so it will be adjustable.

Trying a few new ideas this week. My daughter has been wanting bracelets with arrows and anchors so I searched out some new charms for her. These make really nice summer bracelets. (Especially if you’re a Hunger Games fan!) They’ll be available at Room With a Past for the June sale. If you can’t be there leave a comment & let me know which one you’d like. They’ll be $8.00 each + s/h.

I love my Lilla Rose hair clip. I wear it almost every day. My sister, Sue Ellen, is an independent consultant for Lilla Rose. Before she started selling them, I will admit… I hadn’t heard about them. But now I want to make sure that everyone knows about them. They are simple to use to keep your hair up and make a ponytail look elegant. (This is my daughter’s beautiful hair & a medium clip to the left.)
As I said, I wear mine almost every day. Some days I start off with my hair in a ponytail but most days I stick it in my pocket and put my hair up on the way home from work… or sooner if I get hot. Soooooo much prettier than those painful claws that I used to use.
We had a hair party at my sister’s house last summer. And, of course, I didn’t get one
picture of mine. (This is one of my sister’s friends to the right.) I’ve tried since then but I’m not very good at taking a picture of the back of my head. I’ll keep working on it. Or try to remember when there’s someone else at home.
Anyway, the main reason I’m sharing this is that my sister is letting me giveaway one of her hair clips! (Up to $15 value.) Here’s how you can win:
Wow… you could have a total of NINE entries to win a clip! You have until Thursday, May 3 at 7:00 PM Pacific Time.19 Thursday Apr 2012
One night last week I walked by my craft room and saw my daughter busy at my desk. She had been inspired by Pinterest (like many of us) to make some bracelets. She gave me this grey leather one.
I wore it to work and got lots of compliments and even offers to buy one. So I’m encouraging her to buy more supplies and get busy! I ordered some black and white leather strips for her. We won’t have any this month at Room With a Past… maybe by the next sale!
So on my day off I made a bracelet for her. She wanted one with the word “Always” on it. It looks great mixed in with all her other bracelets.
I’ll share one more really colorful bracelet with you, too. She also made the one in the photo below. Kinda reminds me of a big, fat, colorful caterpillar. lol… But this one I wouldn’t mind having on my arm.

I had the honor of making some memory jewelry this week. Six-month-old Baby Kaiden died a few weeks ago and his mother’s cousin asked me to make these. Necklaces for the ladies and keychains for the guys.
I used a combination of wings, crosses, and rhinestone balls. The brass pieces say “Kaiden” on one side and “Faith” on the other.

I’ve had several requests for more “Tutus for Your Wrist.” Well… I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I’ve started listing them in my Etsy shop. The bad news is that I just bought the last of the vintage tulle fringe from my supplier. She’s on the hunt for more but these may be the last. Hopefully not the LAST last but just the last for a while. I’ve found some other trim that will work but this has still been my favorite. So if you want a tutu go visit my Etsy shop or go to the April opening of Room With a Past.
I’ve also been playing around with new jewelry ideas that involve angel wings, crosses, and metal stamps. But that’s another post. Until then, take a look at some of the “Tutus for Your Wrist.”
