Angel Earrings - ButterBeeScraps - Small Business Saturday Shopaholic SALE-bration!

Hello everyone!  I know I mentioned in a post not too long ago that I have a show coming up and I have been busy, busy, busy creating. I have been making Christmas ornaments, lots of jewelry, cards, scarves, handbags and some small home decor pieces.  If you are local we would love to see you at the show!  Here are the details.  :)

Small Business Saturday

Shopaholic SALE-bration

Saturday, November 28th, 2015

9 am - 3 pm

Marion Hall, St. Theodore Catholic Church

Albert Lea, MN  

Last year was the the first year for the show and they had 30+ vendor.  It's a great opportunity to get out and do a some Christmas shopping and support local small businesses.

Last year I made a few pairs of angel earrings and they sold out right away.  So I decided to make more these year and do a few different style designs.

These are some of the angel earrings that I have made.  I have them in bronze and silver.  I used a lot of bead caps, beads, head pins and rondelles from ButterBeeScraps.  All items from ButterBeeScraps are listed and linked below in the supply list.  I also used several beads and bead caps from my own stash.  

I didn't take pictures of every pair but I did take some close ups of a few different designs.

I hope you like all of the angel earring and you are inspired to make some.  These would make really cute pendants for a necklace too.

Thanks so much for stopping by today!

Hugs & Smiles,

Heidi

Happy Thanksgiving - ButterBeeScraps Vintage Key Necklaces - Small Business Saturday Shopaholic SALE-bration

Happy Thanksgiving!  I hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving with family and friends.  We just had a small group this year but that's ok it was very nice and relaxing.  It's always nice to have a day spent with the ones you love and give thanks for all the many blessings in life.

Today, I have some vintage key necklaces to share with you.  This past summer when I was at a local antique shop I found a two sandwich sized ziplock bags filled with all kinds of vintage keys.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do with then--turn them into necklaces.  I used several small bits and pieces from metal filigrees to charms and crystals from ButterBeeScraps to embellish the keys.

Here is the first necklace.  For this one I added some  SS8 Crystal Rhinestone Chain Trim, Silver Filigree, Silver Jump Rings, and  Silver Chain from ButterBeeScraps.  I also painted and distressed the key and added a tiny white pearl flower.

All of the necklaces are pretty much the same style--all painted and distressed and then embellished.  For this necklace I added a Bronze Filigree Flower, Silver Miniature Butterfly Charms, and a SS16 Clear Flat Back Glass Rhinestones.  Then I added a Bronze Jump Rings and attached it to some Bronze Chain (Item #CH779-B),

for the third necklace I added Bronze Filigree, SS8 Crystal Rhinestone Chain Trim and a Clear AB SS8 Pointy Back Crystal Rhinestones.  I added a Silver Jump Ring and Silver Chain.  I also added a tiny white pearl flower.

This is one of my favorite ones. The key is so tiny and the design is very simple.  To embellish this key I added a Bronze Tibetan Style Connectors (Item #J375-B), Copper Lock and Key Toggle Clasps (Item #CL543-C), SS16 Clear Flat Back Glass Rhinestones, and a Crystal Charm.  The key was added to a Bronze Jump Ring and Bronze Chain (Item #CH779-B).

This necklace is another favorite.  I added a Cabochon that I added a small bird image to and then I added a Bird Charm.  I attached the key to a Bronze Jump Ring and Bronze Chain (Item #CH779-B).

I had a lot of fun creating necklaces with these vintage keys. 

For all of the local people I want to invite you to the
