I Mesh.

Silver, Gold, Bronze, Gunmetal & Black Multi-Chain Bracelet
Attached to the bracelet are five ½” wire mesh boxes in black, silver, gunmetal and a coppery color.
Gold, Silver & Copper Earrings with Wire Mesh Cube
This bracelet and earrings are a little trendy chic but a little rough & ready as well.  Could go either way and with either look.  
I felt a bit of all of the above, so, I've paired them with this hooded camo military jacket from Forever 21.  It features spiked shoulders, snap button epaulets,  three quarter zippered sleeves,  full snap button placket, four patch pockets with snap button closures & a drawstring waist.  
What better to transition from summer to fall than these Baja denim shorts from Forever 21. These distressed denim cutoffs feature a baja-inspired trim, zip fly with button closure and five-pocket construction.
Pulling the look together from head to toe are these black Naturalizer® Jakes from Zappos.  A flash back to your combat-boot-wearing days with elegant, grown-up appeal.  They are vegan leather with a decorative lace up front and inside zipper closure.
Final accessory is this chic and edgy Kenra Leather Crossbody from The Sak™ handbags at Zappos.   It has a hint of casual sophistication with its supersoft leather and adjustable crossbody  strap.

Polka Dots are Exuberant, Chic and Whimsical

I don't think there is ever a wrong time for a polka dot...
~ Marc Jacob ~


These vintage white with black polka dot earrings measure 2".

They are made from re-purposed vintage jewelry parts. The white ball measures 20mm and I've added two silver bead caps and a 6mm black glass bead




Vintage White & Black Polka Dot Earrings
Next is this vintage white beaded necklace. The acrylic beads measure 17mm, they remind me of the gum that came out of those bubblegum machines.

The necklace measures 18½" and has a beautiful box tab insert closure.
 



We must have more polka dots to go with these whimsical yet chic earrings, and what else other than these fun textured polka dot leggings from Forever 21.
                            
For some color, I've added this relaxed v-neck Arch Bay  t-shirt from Hollister.  Great for layering or worn all by itself.
Layer it up for those crisp fall evenings with this River Jetties denim jacket again from Hollister California. Medium wash with a classic fit and special hand done destruction.

Finishing off the accessories are our shoes and bag.  First we have these American Eagle double zip cranberry suede booties.  They have a stacked 3" heel and studded detail at the zippers.

Not very successful at this blogging...

Still trying to master this whole social media.  I know, Rome wasn't built in a day, but I guess I'm one of those who like immediate satisfaction.

We'll see if this RSS into bloglovin helps :)

Ring-Around-the-Rosey

This one-of-a-kind bling ring is adjustable and is made from a gold filigree stamping and a vintage gold wire flower with a pink rhinestone center, surrounded by six smaller chartreuse rhinestones.

I've attached the flower to a gold filigree stamping and have added pink and chartreuse faceted acrylic beads around the flower.

The earring measures 1" and dates back to the 1950’s and is absolutely stunning! What a great statement piece!


All of my items are created and handcrafted by me.

Chartreuse is a color halfway between yellow and green that was named because of its resemblance to the green color of one of the French liqueurs called green chartreuse, introduced in 1764.

Pink is sometimes referred to as “the color of love." The use of the word for the color “pink" was first recorded in the late 17th century.

Love & Liqueur… what more could one ask.


The Rainbow comes and goes, and lovely is the Rose …– William Wordsworth

As a faithful artisan I work with all my love and care. I place great significance in rewarding craftsmanship.
