I've been crafting… now it's time to get fancy!



I've been busy making things for the Craft and Fancy Show… 


It will be this Saturday, December 7, from 10 until 5 at Home ec., 
which is on Linn Street in Iowa City. 



I'll post some beauty shots here over the next few days. 
Here are some new earrings… 


from old industrial brass tacks, 



to buttons, 



charms,



 and pieces of history.








I'm looking forward to seeing old friends and meeting new ones! 

Enjoy the season, and thank you for supporting local vendors and independent artists!

Oh, and don't take any of those in the above picture…

Milk Glass Moon and Take a Memo


Any etsy seller will tell you that one of the biggest challenges is the actual listing of the item.



It's one thing to make something, or find it treasure hunting, but then a whole 'nother chunk of time to photograph it and write up the listing.









As the busiest time of year approaches, I hope you'll stop by here often. I will try to have pictures of new creations posted here before I might actually get them listed at Age Before Beauty.















Thank you for visiting!

A Crackled Cuckoo

Adding some new jewelry at Age Before Beauty.
I think this beautiful wooden bird must have been part of an old cuckoo clock?










This antique paste piece is slightly domed. 
Absolutely spectacular!



I have never, ever, seen such an exquisitely carved ivory cameo portrait.















How about some spectacular micro-mosaic slippers, so your ears don't feel neglected?
