Junk 2 Jewels Boutique

Oh What a Party!

 

This was my most favorite table scape of the entire Blog-her-party event!...minus  the head in the right hand side of the first picture)! lol. Hey it was bound to happen, people were everywhere.

The table was draped in linen fabrics and on top sat the most wonderful old birdbath filled  with hydrangeas and roses. Pretty pink candles sat in beach sand in these pretty green mason jars. Each jar was adorned with vintage jewels to add a touch of glam. Above the table was the place I photographed over, and over, and over. It was so creative!! Paper lanterns in the prettiest shabby prints hung at different lengths over the table while vintage pettie slips in the softest colors seemed to dance all on their own among the lights. It was such a wonderful touch. Here are a few more favorite vignettes of the day. More come in the next post.

Keeping up with Requests!

 

Here are a few bottles to wet your appetite for some BIG  happenings for Junk 2 Jewels. Im putting together a soldering class. For all of you who have always wanted to try it yourself.The details are in the works. Im not certain yet if it will be on location, on-line or possibly both! These are in my Etsy shop.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Here is a great little beginner project I thought would be  great to start with. Please leave me a comment and let me know if you'd be interested  in taking a class for making "Glamed up Country Wares"! 

Crowns, Crowns, Crowns !!!

I've been a busy little bee the last few days. One of the items I've completed  are these darling crown charms. They are printed on snippets  from a vintage  hymnal.  The words are quite legible which to me makes them even more special. The first one went around my neck of course, but the rest are being offered in my Etsy Store.  Hurry, I have a feeling these wont last long......watch for some  mini bottles to debut soon!

Rhinestone "Bliss" Necklace

Another new design in the Etsy  Shop!

New Designs

Two new pieces  waited patiently all day long yesterday to be photographed. As usual I tried to  cramming just one more chore in before dragging everything outdoors to shoot the pics. It was a race against time. The sun was quickly  setting. Nothing I seemed to be doing was pleasing to the eye or cooperating for me! Bad lighting and not the most pleasing of photographs, but Ahhh.....the necklace  gorgeous! Its one of those that when you put it on, it really does not matter what you're wearing ...You look Stunning!  You can view the entire piece  here.

These last two   images are just a tease of a piece that will be for sale in the Etsy store later today. There was just no salvaging these photos, so they must be re-shot.  That'll teach me to procrastinate! lol 

Hitting the bottle Again!

The demand for these little beauties is overwhelming. In a good way of course!  So here are five more  that will up for grabs  in the shop today. Next up is some long overdue  jewelry pieces! Come back soon!

Is Spring Break really over?

Say it's not so... For 7 days I woke to the sound of waves crashing on the beach, sipped coffee while watching early morning surfers in search of the perfect wave, and searching for the sea's most  beautiful treasures she had brought up to shore overnight. I look forward  all year to this week spent with our closest friends. Making memories that our kids will carry with them for a  lifetime. This our 7th year.  Here are a few shots I captured while  we were there. I do mean a few. I took close to one thousand pictures. LOL

 

I put some new   "key chain Bling" in the Shop.  These were a great find.....I love them!

 

Nice to Meet You!

I have had the pleasure of meeting so many new blog readers, thanks to the  Somerset article, that I felt like I should give you all a Warm Junk 2 Jewels Welcome! I have been doing a little research for  another project I'm doing and feel like I have let you all down a bit in the personal identity department. I'm fascinated with how important it is to make yourself known  to your customer, how much more connected they feel to you if they only can visualize you, you become much more  than a cool blog or website. You become a friend. Its almost like you live next door. They would much rather shop from you over someone they don't know at all...    So here ya go........ This is me

New Bottles

What an amazing response I got from all  of new who are new to Junk 2 Jewels who  found me thanks to "Artful Blogging"! I was so thrilled to chat with you and introduce myself. The bottles that were on the site when the magazine came out sold out fast. In the first few days I believe. I have been trying to restock, but as luck would have it, both kids were sick,  then me....and well I'm just now getting back to speed on  a few projects. So here they are........They will  be available on my website www.junk2jewelsboutique.com first thing in the morn. Feb 26th.

Love is in the Air

Don't give me chocolate that will make me fat, flowers are  O.K., but in a week they will be just a  memory. Jewelry is  perfect!  especially this  whimsical silver piece. Tell him he can get it here.
