I'm dreaming of a White & Pink Christmas

I'm dreaming of a white & pink Christmas.

just like the ones I used to know... 

grew up with my own little tree in my bedroom. covered with pink ornaments, 

I still have some of them!

A vignette from my mantle, gllitter predominates, pink charm makes me smile with memories.

hope you enjoyed.

VICTORIANA: at THE BRAYTON COTTAGE

WHITE ANGORA KITTENS

frolic amid Victorian treasures.

A glance into a celluloid hand mirror to admire her pretty pink bow.

Why not roll atop the antique vanity,  smell the French powder and hide behind the cabbage roses?

my newly finished vintage jewelry creations

I am creating jewelry for Christmas gifts, and am so enjoying it. Only problem is that as family and clients see the pieces, they are asking and buying them.

Ok, it is a good problem...

Starting with a Victorian carved pin then adding a gold tone vintage dragonfly finding,

this is my newest creation

"DRAGONFLY"

It started with a whole pile of metal and jewelry findings

I have been collecting and the inspiration form gorgeous pin I purchased from

COMMON GROUND.

am linking to Faded Charm's

WHITE WEDNESDAY.

So I have decided to sell some necklaces starting at

ranging from $25.00 to $75-depending 0n the materials.

OAK- all made from one of a kind findings, many Victorian .

They can be purchased by email.

There are about 10 original one of a kind pieces left to this collection

The necklaces match or compliment the handmade earrings made with Victorian crystal beads in my Brayton Cottage shop on right.
