B is for Bracelets, Bracelets and even more Bracelets

Today's showcase feature bracelets made of brass drawer labels, vintage jewelry, crystal lettering and scraps from a vintage Dior bag....





I plan to post these in my Etsy store soon if you are interested. The proceeds from the Pink Ribbon Bracelet will be donated to my girlfriend who is walking in the Avon 3Day Walk honoring her mom, aunt & grandmother.

Thanks,
That Girl,

Guess What??? I'm in Another Etsy Treasury - {SPRINGTIME}

I am flabbergasted. It is such a pleasure.. and one that puts me square on my toes. I think I have been neglecting my store & blogs long enough. The rest was accomplished, deep breathes were taken & now it's time to get back to work....

I want to take this time to THANK simplysuzula for this newest Etsy Treasury West: {SPRINGTIME} from the hardware store! Now HOW clever is that?! I got a kick out of it myself!

This particular treasury features all types of fantastic springs; new springs, old springs, rusted springs, shiny springs.. and what have you. They come from beds, architecture & even rocking horses... Springs can be used for anything from tree toppers & votive holders to connectors & collage displays... you are only limited by your imagination!

Unfortunately Etsy Treasuries are fleeting so I will post a link here to all of the sellers featured in simplysuzula's wonderful {SPRINGTIME} Etsy Treasury.

Mini Springs, 12 Rusty Bed Springs, Test Pattern-5x7 fine art print, Rusty Metal Pieces, Silver Coils or Springs, African Trade Beads, Vintage Architectural Hardware Salvage, 30 Primitive Rusty Bed Springs, Rusty Spring - 8x12 Print, 4 Large Brass Springs for Funky Connectors (silver finish), Old Springs, Wire Bed Springs, 6 Rusty Bed Springs.

OK, that's enough springs to keep you jumping from project to project! LOL Susan, thank you so much for including me in such a fun treasury!. Now everybody, please pay a visit to SimplySuzula's Vintage Shop. You'll find so great vintage items @ amazing prices!

Take care,
That Girl, Ang

And now a little shameless self promo... I'm in an Etsy Treasury featuring JUNK!

Thanks to Ranzangel of Etsy..I am in my very 1st Treasury. I didn't even get in one when I was briefly an active member of a local group (dig). LOL But anyway I am stoked & YES very excited... Whoo Hoo!

This particular treasury features artsy items made of junk; things folks commonly throw out. In fact it's entitled:

Treasury West Trash: Garbage, junk, crap, refuse, waste...what a wonderful assortment.



Since treasuries are fleeting, (I know sad) here's a list of the other artists featured before our treasury disappears tomorrow. Les we not be forgotten..

Bag of Crap - Gicelee Print, Trash Master Skirt, Dumped, Eat it Necklace, Reclaimed Trash Bin Enclosure, Junk Alphabet Paperweight, Trash Can Hand Carved Rubber Stamp Set, Bowerbird Gocco Print, Trash Parade - 8x10 Print, Tattered Circus Memories Cuff, Trash Chime, Shoe Purse Turquoise Faux Snake Skin.

Now that's enough junk to last a while! Thanks again Ranzangel! Click on her name and check out her store. She has to make great stuff.. as she has perfect taste! LOL

Enjoy,
Ang

Class of '08 Vintage Typewriter Keys Bracelet

class of... updated typewriter bracelet - A590 IS,
originally uploaded by byabpryor.

Hey - here's one of my new creations photographed with my new camera. I did list this on Etsy and to be honest, I am quite nervous. I usually share my wares face to face via a craft show or as a personal gift. I know - we are our own worst critics. What are you hard on yourself about?

This is also my photography debut... well not really.. but it's my 1st real digital camera - the Canon A590 IS. SO, I am getting use to it and posting at the same time. If you have any helpful hints or constructive criticism, encouragement - please do share! I recently joined the Shades of Inspiration an online photography challenge that inspires through weekly color photo assignments! Come along for the ride.. it should be entertaining to follow my quest to be a story teller... through pictures.

Please Enjoy!
