Moo.

Well, what do you know... 

I certainly didn't set out to find an old cow tag to use as a pendant.

But there it was, with its big, bold, industrial, "33".

Its crackly golden bronze colors screaming to live next to rhinestones and druzy quartz.

What a wonderfully unexpected combination.

Pigeon Chic

Seeing things in a new way.

For instance, those vintage pigeon bands that went around the scrawny ankle of a racing bird or homing pigeon.

They're pretty cool in an industrial sort of way?

Embellish them with some twinkly rhinestones and creamy antique mother of pearl beads.

Dangle the rings from oxidized sterling silver ear wires, and...

That's pigeon chic!
