Gearing Up For The Holidays - New In My Shop For November

Hi friends! Here are some of the new pieces of broken china jewelry that I just finished up and listed in my Etsy shop this week. 

I've been super-busy stocking up for the holidays and already folks are getting a head-start with their holiday shopping and buying pieces for Christmas gifts and stashing them away. Good for them! 

I wish I could be as savvy with my own holiday shopping, but in reality, I am usually just so busy working up until the last minute to make sure all packages get out on time that I often find myself running a bit behind with my own shopping. But it always gets finished! 

My daughters and I have started planning what cookies we are going to bake and I have already started my shopping list for our baking supplies! 

That might seem a bit early, but when you think about how I am making jewelry, selling, wrapping and shipping up until the very last minute before the holiday, it's essential. My younger daughter has a birthday right before Thanksgiving, so we go birthday, Thanksgiving, and then right into Black Friday and the holidays without a break! 

That being said, shop now for your best selection and fastest shipping! And don't forget to set your clocks back an hour on Sunday Nov. 5th for the end of daylight savings time! :)

Have a great week!
love,

Broken China Jewelry - Quick Update New Items

Hi friends, this is just a quick update to show you a few new pieces of broken china jewelry that I finished a few days ago and recently listed in my shop. 

I'm working on some new pieces today and hopefully will have those finished and up in my shop within the next day or so, but I thought I'd go ahead and share these pieces with you right away. 

I get a lot of comments on the Statue of Liberty china pattern. You don't often come across historical America or Americana patriotic china patterns, so this really is a unique piece! 

The purple or plum transferware plate shown at the end of this post is the plate I used in my instructional DVD, Make Vintage and Upcycled Jewelry: Dishfunctional™ Plate Necklace, which you can find here.

New Vintage China Bracelets! (& More)

Hi friends! This week I have four new broken china bracelets in my shop - they are so much fun to wear; stylish, and just plain cool! These bracelets are made from antique china shards that I hand-select for the best combination of patterns for each bracelet. Once I choose the patterns I then hand-smooth all of the edges of each shard until they are perfectly smooth. 

To keep these bracelets lightweight and comfortable to wear, I do not do any soldered metalwork on them, but instead I adhere each shard to silverplated bracelet blank using a strong jewelry adhesive. Once completed, each finished bracelet measures about 7" in length - a small to medium size - but I will gladly add additional chain links at the end of the bracelet to extend the size if needed (at no additional cost!) so be sure to let me know if you would like yours custom-sized. :)

As always, here's what's new in my Etsy shop so far this week. More on the way!

All items shown are available in my Etsy shop.
