Woohoo! One of my items has been featured in another adorable treasury. This vintage dice ring was selected for foreverfun's "Let the Games Begin" treasury. See the selections below!

{ otherlovelythings: custom }

Here's a photo of a custom order I recently created for an otherlovelythings fan. Originally she purchased a pair of earrings featuring these lovely gold leaf charms, however, didn't wear them often. She came to me with a special request to turn the earrings into something more wearable, so I transformed this piece into a necklace that is more casual. She loves it!

It really made my day to learn that one of my rings was featured in a deliciously cute treasury by a fan. How amazing are these colors? I love the springy mix and the unexpected bits of black. Totally fresh. Hope you all have a great week!!!

{ seller/buyer }

As an Etsy seller, it's almost impossible not to find things on Etsy occasion that I absolutely have to have. I love supporting the handmade community, and well, there is just some really amazing stuff out there. I also try to buy as many jewelry supplies as possible from Etsy sellers.

Anyway, as soon as I saw these lovely Turquoise Bowls, I knew they had to be mine!!! They sat in my favorites for a few days and then I just couldn't stand not having them any longer. Of course, I was in the process of moving when I ordered these, and they got shipped to my old post office about an hour away. I wasn't able to get there until a few weeks later, but let me tell you - it was worth the wait!

They are the prettiest color with gorgeous crackles and super smooth finish. I absolutely adore them and they look great with the rest of my decor. Thanks, happyhills!

{ spotted this weekend }

This weekend was my sister's baby shower and I'm happy to say that otherlovelythings made an appearance! With a small budget for the shower, I decided to give away some of my handmade jewelry for the game prizes - 'cause really, what's a shower without games? We played O-BABY Bingo and I ended up giving away four pair of earrings and three rings! The prizes kept everyone playing fiercely and we all had a great time. Here are some of the winners...
