My Journey's Joy : November 2009

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

So I was checking my email yesterday and to my surprise

I received a special note from Vintaj

(my brass supplier)

Thanking me for using their products in my designs

and that they are featuring one of my bracelets

in their COOL FINDS...

The gals there must have searched
high and low through

etsy to find this piece.

I am very THANKFUL!!!

I have been creating jewelry for several
years and used to only use silver,

but since I've found Vintaj Brass,
I haven't touched my silver.

They've got me hooked. Thank You Vintaj!!!

Did anyone happen to see this Sunset on November 10th?

Every evening that I'm at home, I look out my front porch to see the sunset.

Some evenings it is overcast, others there's not much depth to the sunset,

& then there's evenings like this.

It's just absolutely amazing how, for such a brief period of time,

the sky can transform into a beautiful piece of art

and then as quickly as it appears, it is erased!

So, I found the cutest sweater the other day
that had a button missing.

Well, I still couldn't pass it up so I bought it,
and in the middle of the night

(that's usually when all my great ideas hit me
and I can't get back to sleep)

I woke up thinking,

"I can make some cool buttons for my new sweater!!"  

So the next day, I started creating.

Here's a few of what I have so far...

These are my fav so far...Fleur De Lis

Vintaj Brass blank, Filagree, Rhinestones, glitter 

Sweet Lil Black Birds

Vintaj Brass Bezels, Embossed Birds, rhinestones, glitter 

Small buttons

or contact me if you have anything special in mind

for that garment of yours...♥ Kerri 

A couple friends & I gathered up some girls
and had a little soiree the other night.

Hollywood Retro was the theme, martini glasses held the drinks.
