newest creations...

Happy Monday!
I've had the soldering iron going a lot lately, and thought I would show how I finished the large (knocker) crazy quilt scrap pendants.

this is the same one, I left the stitching on the backside, the side that the quilter usually keeps hidden as the flipside because I think her work deserves the spotlight on both sides! I then hung the pendants with a stack of the sweetest vintage cream and milkglass buttons.

The MIlove charms that I showed in the last post I have now added to rings as well. This was my instagram and FB page post letting our customers know we were on the way to Detroit. :)

When I find a stamp that I think will add a little fun to the sachets I get a little giddy.... this one definitely did the trick! So not only do they smell beautiful, but they are just as pretty when you pull them out of your dryer.

Here's a group photo of the knockers and a few other pieces before I added the buttons and chains. See how much bigger they are than the quarter? I LOVE THAT! They have a great weight to them, and make a gorgeous necklace for layering. I wore mind with a winter scarf at the market and I loved how it peaked out from the bottom of my infinity scarf.

I don't create my soldered pendants with vintage photos like I used to these days, (unless I have a commissioned order) but this boy has a hold on me and when I found the print on fabric that I made of him a couple of years ago he immediately was preserved under glass. I will most likely be sporting him around my neck. I just love his look of determination.

It's Monday and that usually puts me in a funk with less focus than usual, but today the iron will once again be hot with a few orders to get done.
So there you have it, a little update on what's on the worktable. I cleared off the dining room table so that we could once again have meals together, and have set up shop in the workroom where I belong. let's see how long this will last ;)
I want to add that if you ever see anything on my instagram page the old white house
or my facebook page the old white house
and have any questions or would like to purchase a special bauble please msg. me and I will put up a reserve listing for you. My etsy and website have all of our natural lavender laundry and cleaning products, but I haven't listed any of my jewelry in some time because by the time I get everything made I am packing up to go to a show or market. I of course would love to have my friends that do not live close by be able to wear a little somethin somethin that I've made also. So please don't hesitate to contact me!

I hope you have a week full of grand adventures, love, and laughter!
love, t.xoxo
