Something new: a little cuff bracelet, I like to call "Summertime," that I made for a hat themed challenge, Everything on this one is vintage, except the little birds. The hat is a pin from the 80's, the milk glass beads, that look a little like sand dollars, are rescued beads that I purchased from
TUTreasures on Etsy, the waxed hemp string is hand crocheted & from the 70's. Even the snap closure is vintage, also from the 70's. This can be worn with or without the hat pin & of course, with other bracelets. This was fun to make & I think I'll make other, similar bracelets, with other beads & with or without a pin.

I am not crazy about the hat, but without it, this is a perfectly beachy bracelet!!
Thanks Alexis! (I like it better without the hat, too. Shh...don't tell anyone ;) It was made for a "Mad Hatter" challenge/swap. The hat pin is from the 80's, the beads were from a vintage necklace & the hemp string & the snap closure are from the 70's.
Fun creation! Love the little birds you added!
I haven't been creating many things lately for Shana's Shop, but have been working on a few fun custom orders for my other shop, Words For You.
