Our Fleur De Lis Shawl Pin is featured in the October 2014 issue of Knit Style magazine!

There it is on page 12 of the October 2014 issue of Knit Style magazine! They contacted

us a few months ago and asked me to send some high res photos of our

Aluminum
Fleur De Lis Shawl Pin.

And today they sent us the issue. Stuff like this gets me so excited!

They like me. They really like me. Or at least my pin.

Celtic Knot Infinite Swirl Cross Copper Shawl Pin - Hair Pin.

If you have any pictures of our jewelry in action we’d love to see them!

My hanging candle lantern hooks project

Early this spring Nick and I came upon one of those awesome country yard sales

down the road from us that makes me giddy with frugal joy.

I was able to buy 7 of these assorted candle lanterns for a mere $.50 each (and the

perfect bird feeder too for the same price.) But how was I going to use them on

our lovely back deck?

So I pulled out my trusty coil of 9 gauge aluminum wire we use for all our

 hanging vases and other aluminum wire items we sell in our Etsy shop.

With my favorite 27 year old pliers I came up with this design (which we also

make earrings similar too.)

Then hammered it with my hammer and anvil to make it stronger.

Put the hook on the lanterns…

and hung them up on the handy support rods that run across our porch overhang,

This is the delightful view out our kitchen window.

Lots of new jewelry in the shop!- Earrings,Pendants, Pins and more

I’ve been adding lots of new designs and stones and variations of designs into the

shop the past month. These earrings above are Celtic Teardrop Swirl Spirals Sterling

Silver Wire Earrings. They are a pretty little design I came up with a long time ago

and have just managed to get in there.

This Looping Celtic Crossed Knots Sterling Silver Pendant was a request from a

customer. It’s the pendant version of the earrings and shawl pin design.

I have to say I was pretty pleased with the way this picture came out of the new

Little Butterfly Sterling Silver Shawl Pin, Scarf Pin. It just sat perfectly on our daylily.

Ever since we sold out of our little lapis earrings and used up all the lapis beads

we had I’ve been wanting to add another lapis design - Small Lapis Lazuli and

Pearl Pendant .

Small Lapis Lazuli and Fresh Water Pearl Earrings

Long Copper Double Teardrop Spiral Hoop Earrings

Big Copper Double Hoop Earrings - Hammered Big Hoops

Owl Copper Shawl Pin, Sweater Brooch, Scarf Pin, Fastener

This was also a custom request for the

Norse Thor's Hammer Mjolnir Aluminum
Hair Stick, Shawl Pin, Scarf Pin

We thought it was a great idea!
