Spring is in the Air...At Last and Costume Jewelry is at Its Best


Sold

Sold



Spring is in the air at last. It's almost time to throw open the windows and hang out the quilts. Soon we will be packing up the heavy blankets and putting away our boots. We will don lighter ware and we will let the sun shine on our painted toes. Our cheeks will be kissed by the sun and our skin will brown under the heavenly rays of the sun.


Spring and summer is a great time for stacking bangles and layering necklaces. No bulky sweaters to impede the movement of bangles. I love the sound that layered bracelets make when they touch each other. The trend this spring is color, color and more color...so don't be afraid to put different colors together and make a statement.


Layering necklaces is huge this year. Wear one inside the collar of your white men's shirt and then add more in different lengths under the collar. Retro graduated chokers are super sexy and demand to be worn with a little tank dress. This little number that I am listing here is gorgeous and could be a really versatile piece for you.


Pins are making a big comeback! Big pins that is.. The more flair the better we like them. Pins can be used on shawls or on your favorite bag. A big flowery pin would look great on a straw hat to the beach.


Spring is in the air...time to dress a little flirty and have alot of fun. Why buy new when vintage will do just fine.

My New Favorite Etsy Shop


I have a new favorite Etsy shop and want to let everyone know about it so you can check it out too! Susie opened BassWoodStitchery in December of 2009 and sells handmade and eco-friendly stitched clothing, housewares and quilts from the north woods of Minnesota.

Knitting has been a part of her life since she was 5 years old and sewing followed soon behind. She received her degree in tailoring in 1979. Along the way she has put her sewing passion into quilt making and now designs most of her knit and crochet patterns. Everything at BassWoodStitchery is designed and handmade by Susie. I have purchased quite a few items from her and I have to tell you that each item is professionally done with great attention to detail.

Please take a few moments and visit http://BassWoodStitchery.etsy.com/ for handmade beautiful items.
