More Shameless Self-Promotion



I am a member of Charming Market at 1000 Markets, and today we are featured at Chic and Green, a cool design and shopping blog!

1000 Markets is a new juried website with the novel idea of having sellers belong to different markets, in theory making it easier for buyers to find items they're into by searching through theme shops - Steampunk, Bridal, Jewelry, Country, Beach Style, etc. I belong to a few different markets there, and Charming is for people who love love love charms in their jewelry.

St. Patrick's Day Offering




I just took new pictures of an old favorite of mine, the 4th or 5th version of my Me Ould Sod Celtic bracelet. The first one I made sold the night I went to see The Pirate Queen on Broadway two years ago, which was quite appropriate, as it was an Irish-centric show. I realized last night that St. Patrick's Day is just around the corner and I had one of these on hand, so I wanted to take a look at it again.

Some years ago I did a show and had left over some of these green embellishments. I could have held on to them indefinitely, but decided to use them in a theme piece. I'm running out of these trimmings, so this may be the last one I make. Each one is different every time - that's the fun of it. This time there are antique bone and mother of pearl buttons, novelty shamrock and celtic thing charms and beads, green dyed freshwater pearls, glass sew-on jewels (vintage) and beads, dancing along a novelty brass chain. It's a fun piece to wear all year, especially down the pub, and if you happen to be Irish, you can celebrate your heritage with this adornment.
