At Last I Finished A Project My New Old Bulletin Board Jewelry Display

Several months ago when my whole

studio re design started one of the first things

I noticed missing was a bulletin board.

So...off to Goodwill I went and found a great one

for just a few dollars.

It had a natural wood frame and nice

very good thick piece of cork for the base.

It was ugly tho.

I spray painted the frame white

Tee Hee...And...As usual was not thinking

and over sprayed on to the cork a little bit.

In hindsight I just should of sprayed the cork white also

but I didn't so that is just the

way it was.

I got some gigantic nails from my husband (he was out

of town so let me tell you that

was an adventure in his garage I don't

want to re-do) Lol..The nails I found

and used are huge.

But again..No worries because in the end I plan

on repainting anyway.

So...

This is what the first version of my board looked

like.

And it ended up just collecting some random stuff.

Kind of a junk board

Not so great....

So...This last weekend I got a bee in my bonnet

to re work the board.

All the elements had come together.

I had the fabric...It finally hit me how to finish the

wood so it wasn't so woody

and at the last minute I was fiddling around with

using some vintage crochet to edge the board

when the white cord showed up at the bottom of the drawer.

Hmmmmm....

My whole idea changed as I started to add the cord.

as you can see.

( that old medal on the board-I used that to push my

pins in...silly me)

I have a huge personal jewelry collection

and have never displayed any of it.

A mannequin would be so great...

but honestly there is no room

As I was adding the cord and looping the last

of it into a cool coil vine thing...

It hit me...The perfect display

for all my pins and earrings.

Giggle.

Laugh

Shout of Joy

I will still be able to grab one to wear

when I want..

But now..I can see all of them

(Are you laughing--OK honest)

(I can see SOME of them)

This is only a few I had laying on my work table

Part of what I like to do is work with items I have

on hand...I could of run out and bought a new board

new fabric, new cord all to match.

But I was raised by frugal parents

and I consider it a real challenge to use what

is on hand to create something useful and hopefully

good looking...

Over the next few weeks I am going to delight in

adding more pieces to this display..At night with my

little area lamps I can tell already it will sparkle and glow.

Thanks for letting me share it with you.

Black Lace In Paris Vintage Czech Button Necklace

When I saw this lacy black vintage Czech button I knew what I wanted to do with it. A touch of Paris, a small heart locket (never to forget love) and vintage black cut glass beads to accent this lovely button.

On a 19 inch lovely chain...Arrives to you in a beautiful little gift box

Ok..,Here She Is At Last...My First Czech Glass Button Necklace

This Czech glass button brings to my mind the stunning winter sunsets I sometimes am blessed with seeing out my kitchen window. The summer ones are beautiful too. But a winter sunset..against the storm grey clouds...when the sun tired of giving in to all the northwest rain stands up and says "Here I am" is extra special.

A vintage brass cupid, tiny locket, sweet baby rose, key, and sparkling rhinestone orb complete the vintage feel of this long necklace.
It measures about 30 inches. This is a one of a kind piece. I have only one button of this color and style in my treasure box.
Necklace will come in a beautiful gift box.
