Do you have loved ones you still aren’t able to visit or need a gift to to bring the host for a 4th of July gathering? A handmade decorative patriotic ornament is a great gift or alternative to a card! This year is my first year for making Independence Day ornaments and they are a hit! Each ornament is one-of-a-kind, I make them from plastic spools and vintage Altoids tins. The Altoids tin ornaments feature nostalgic vintage art prints with beads and American flags. They will come in a matching box ready for gift giving. The spool ornaments have star dangles with sparkly tinsel trim with red white and blue stars and stripes papers. These come in organza bags.

Upcycling and working with scrap fabric and denim is one of my favorite things to do. I mostly make jewelry but I have recently made wall hangings! This Spring I have updated my older slightly larger denim bluebell flower earrings with a daintier version with colorful seed bead accents. These new whimsical earrings are now available in my Etsy store in blue denim, pinks, green, purple and even one that looks like a fuchsia flower! There is a black version that looks like a pair of dancers! Adding a new pair of earrings to an existing outfit is a quick and affordable way to update your look! Click on the following photos to go to my Etsy store for more details:
Does your spring or summer wardrobe need an update? Is it time to get out of your yoga pants yet? Adding a pop of color will update any look!

Do you love vintage jewelry? If so, you are in the right place! I remake vintage jewelry parts into new pieces and also love to collect interesting vintage beads to make unique jewelry. Since I sold my last pair of vintage style blue dangle earrings on Etsy, I decided to make more plus a bunch of new earrings with the cool beads I found. Some are made with new beads and others are made with a limited supply of vintage beads. Nothing here I make is mass-produced so everything is very unique or one-of-a-kind. Click on photos to go to my Etsy store for details.
Everyone loves sparkle right? I made two styles in a deep purple and one special pair in lavender with super sparkly rhinestone beads:
Sparkly one-of-a-kind vintage lavender dangle earrings made with rhinestone beads and vintage beads.

Check out my new St. Patrick’s Day ornaments made with repurposed green spearmint Altoids tins! They feature vintage art prints, green beads, and vintage smashed button “coins” from “the pot of gold”! After a busy season of making Christmas and Valentine’s ornaments, I made these two ornament decorations for St. Patrick’s Day! Choose from a leprechaun hat or “the lady of Ireland”. These upcycled ornaments would be great to decorate a small space with, hang from a mantel, or give as gifts. If they sell soon, I may make more but I am not sure how many people decorate for St. Patrick’s Day so you better get them while they are available! Click on photos to take you to my Etsy store for more details:

I love the festive colors of Dia de Los Muertos! This post should have been published last week for the celebration but I just discovered that the Word Press Editor has changed and was very difficult to figure out! After an hour of fussing with it, I finally can do the basics. Now, why didn’t they warn us, why did they make it so hard use, and why the change???
Making tin ornaments is super fun, I make these Day of the Dead ornaments out of tart tins, vintage cookie cutters, and mint tins like Altoids or Mr. Moxey’s. I also use recycled greeting cards and papers and funky found objects like keys and dice. Not only can these ornaments be used for Day of the Dead but they look great on a Christmas tree! They also make beautiful gifts for any skull lover! Please click on photos to take you to my Etsy store for details.
I also make colorful skull necklaces and earrings. You can find some of my festive Day of the Dead jewelry here: Skull Necklaces
