I Always Say "I Don't Do Cute"

... but a girl's allowed to break her own rules once in a while, isn't she?  When I saw these cute acorn charms at one of my local bead stores, I couldn't resist them.  Since I started working with brass a couple of years ago, there's a whole new world of charms and embellishments available to me that are simply too expensive in sterling silver. 

I brought some acorns home with me.

These charms seemed to need wood beads to accompany them.  It's only natural.

These cute (eek!) earrings are for sale in my etsy shop.

Vintage Leather Box

I decided it's time to part with some additional vintage items in my stash. While I love this box, I realized that I would never be able to "alter" it in any way. It's just too cool the way it is. I listed it yesterday afternoon after struggling with the photography.

If you click on the photo, you will go directly to the listing, where there are several other photos from different angles.

Stay tuned for some more vintage goodies in my second etsy shop, A Peaceful Life.
