Lamore Ring in Celadon

I have this ring in three colors: a burnt orange, a lovely purple and this light mossy celadon. The flower is of vintage Lucite with a small glass, ivory-colored bead for the center. It's riveted onto a wide (.25") sterling band. This is the first one I've made in the green. The Lamore Ring in all three colors is available in my Etsy shop.

Sidewalk Score!

I live in a neighborhood where, on occasion, people will leave out a box in the easement in front of their house. This box, a "free box," will have stuff they don't want anymore but don't want to landfill, so they hope someone will take it home. Generally, it's junk or books or clothes. Sometimes there's cool stuff - I guess almost everything is cool to someone - and I'll often check out a box as I walk by with the dog. I've been known to pick up a book or two or a plant pot or such. Yesterday, I peered into a free box sitting out and found this. Score! A vintage Leonard silverplate candle holder. It's actually in pretty good shape, just very tarnished. The last picture shows an attempt at cleaning part of it. This is going to take a while - and some elbow grease, but I think it will clean up well. Groovy, huh?

Sunrise Bouquet Necklace

Another vintage find. The focus of this simple necklace is a vintage Japanese pressed glass cabochon. The 3D flowers are in a lovely warm coral color (what attracted me to them in the first place). Bezel set on sterling and oxidized for an antique finish, it's simple and sweet and eye catching. The Sunrise Bouquet necklace is available in my Etsy shop.
