Little Frog, Little Frog.....

I made these cute little silver frog pendant necklaces sitting on a bronze lily pad. The charms were purchased on etsy.

Love is the Beauty of the Soul

 Copper heart: etsy shop Accessory ala mode

I made this necklace using a copper heart etched with a quote that I purchased on etsy.com and two keys attached to a long black cord.

Initial Crest Bracelet

I made this bracelet out of a vintage Initial Shield Crest piece that I purchased on etsy. It has that old world renaissance feel! I love it!

 Initial: etsy shop The Blind Peacock

Large Brass Key

I purchased this gorgeous old vintage key from etsy seller Alchemy. I've hung it from a long suede cord. It looks wonderful with other necklaces too.

Sand Drop Pendant Necklace

I made these sand drop pendant necklaces using genuine sand from the beaches of Haida Gwaii (where my kids live) and a tiny silver starfish. They are selling at Jags Beanstalk in Skidegate on Haida Gwaii and the tourist centre in the town of Queen Charlotte.

Charming!

I made this necklace with tiny silver charms hanging from a silver ring and suspended on a suede cord.

Drop of Sand Necklace

I made this charm necklace to remind me of the beaches of Haida Gwaii (where my kids live). It's a beautiful group of islands just off the north coast of British Columbia, Canada.  I used a small pebble, a vial of genuine Haida Gwaii sand, a tiny silver starfish and a fossilized Ammolite.

My daughter-in-law was out riding her motorcycle at the beach.

Greek Coins and Dainty Diamonds

I am making necklaces out of these small imitation Greek coins and dainty yellow diamond-shaped pendants. The diamond-shaped pendants have a tiny removable lid. You could fill it with a drop of perfume or a tiny secret message.
Very romantic!

Tiny Brass Bells

I found these tiny brass bells at a yard sale. I've attached them to vintage lanyard clips. I believe they are from India or Asia.

What shell I wear?

I found this gorgeous shell necklace at my favourite thrift store the other day and the best part was it was only 99 cents!

Summer Journey

I like to switch out some of the charms on my necklaces from time to time. I added a blue teardrop agate to my earth and sea necklace and a key with the word 'JOURNEY' stamped on it.  Perfect summer necklace!

Arts & Crafts Style Brass Engraving Pendants

Here are three Arts & Crafts style solid brass engraving plate pendants. They will be hung on a long chain. 

Love Letters

E is forEver

Brass Engraving Plates

I found these larger brass engraving plates on ebay awhile ago. The letters are in the Arts & Crafts style. They are about 2.5 inches in length.

Summer of '52

Where were you in the summer of '52? 

Was it a cruel summer or fun in the sun?

Did a boy steal your heart..or did you dance the night away?

Here's a nostalgic charm to wear around your neck to remind you of that wonderful summer.

Pressed Flower Bracelet

I made this bracelet using a small pressed dried flower cameo and an old chain from another discarded necklace.

The key to my Heart

Here is an initial pendant with a key and a heart with wings.

Hope is a thing with feathers......

Hope is a thing with feathers that perches in the soul, and sings the tune without words, and never stops at all.”

Keys & Bumblebees....

Free Bird

I found this steel bird pendant a few years ago at a yard sale. It was hand-crafted by the person. I love the raw simplicity of it.

The acorn doesn't fall far from the tree....

Simplify

I made this necklace using a brass initial pendant, an old vintage key, a silver-tone bird and a small numbered token with the word "Simplify" stamped on it. 

I ♥ trees!

Etsy Seller: marlaot

Because of my love for trees, I purchased this round bronze style pendant on etsy.

Everyday is a Journey.....

This adorable key is a reproduction with the word "Journey" stamped on it.

"Every day is a journey, and the journey itself is home."

~ Matsuo Basho

Words to live by....

I found these cute little vintage style tokens on etsy with different words stamped on them.

A secret garden....

Here's an adorable pendant with a heart that has "secret garden" inscribed on it, faux pearl and glass beads, and a cute little frog. There's also a tiny dragonfly buzzing around.

Earth and Sea Necklace

I've made a similar necklace to the one pictured here. This necklace is made by Melissa Joy Manning. It's very earthy and organic. My version has a dark stone (found on etsy), and an Ammolite fossil (found on ebay). I also added a pewter coral branch (also found on etsy). I have other stones that I could switch out. I prefer a long chain instead of a short one.

He loves me...he loves me not...he loves me!

I made this necklace for myself featuring two brass initial pendants (one for my initial and one for my husband's), a metal flower, a small skeleton key, and a small oval pressed Daisy. I prefer a long black cord rather than a chain.

Of thee, sweet Daisy!

Here is an initial "L" pendant and a tiny pressed daisy pendant.
