Vintage and Wool Blend Yarns

This was a very enjoyable project. I made this scarf from a Merino wool blend yarn I had purchased and a funky shimmery orange vintage yarn given to me by my grandmother. My grandmother has sent me baskets of yarn lately. I think she was cleaning out her closets. I have some other very interesting colors that I haven't figured out what to do with just yet. I will try to remember and post some photos when I figure something out. Until then, I will just keep you in suspense. ;)

Owl Necklace

I finally have a few photos of my newest project which includes some "upcycled" beads. In my last post I talked about this necklace and how I had taken beads from two different stretch bracelets and added them to this piece. I was pleased with the outcome. :)

The necklace is composed of mainly new pieces, except for the large beads. Those beads have a nice smooth satin finish and a randomly marbled color. The owl pendant was the inspiration for the design. I've seen so many owl items lately. I just had to make one. :)

Sorry I didn't get a good full length picture of the necklace. I really need a display for necklaces. I have looked, but I never bought one. :( That needs to go on the top of my to do list.

I would love to know what you think. Feel free to leave me a comment! :)

A Pendant I must share

Swarovski Round Rainbow Pendant - Glamour Collection

I hope you find this pendant as beautiful as I did. I found this at dicopebisuteria's shop on Etsy (of course) and I had to share it with you. This is so unique. I guess that is why I love it so much. It is part of her Glamour Colletion. While reading her shop profile I learned that the artists is Diana Costa from Barcelona, Spain and she is a fashion designer. She says that she loves to make jewelry and I can definitely see that love in her work.

You can see more of her items in her shop on Etsy and on her Flickr Photostream.

But, before you leave me and head on over to her shop and her Flickr photostream, let me share one more unique pendant I found in her shop. This one grabbed my attention at the last minute.

Black and White Triangle Pendant

We'll be doing a Gift Guide :D

The SEUS Street Team has decided to organize a little gift guide project to post on our team shops blog. This should be lots of fun. I love window shopping! Who doesn't? Well, I guess that would have to be my husband, for one. ;)

I'll keep you all updated on our progress with getting this set up. It will be great to see the collections of Southeastern Etsy talent that our members dig up! So Stay Tuned!
