Vintage Finds for my Etsy Shop

One of the wonderful side effects of my new Reloved collection is that in amongst the broken jewellery and beads I have been finding long lost treasures that can also live to see another bright fashionable day.

It is so exciting to be untangling beads and broken bracelets, painstakingly pulling apart chains that have been messed together in a ball for years and to then find something that has made it through all of this in tact.

This cute little brooch was my first find. I thought that the pin had been broken, but no, it was totally in tact. A wonderful find and a great feeling to know that someone will pin it to their lapel or bag for it to be admired once more.

I've now rearranged my selling affairs. My own handmade jewellery is available through my Folksy shop.
