What's New?

Well this little guy for one! I had some requests for more of the little Ravens sitting on pumpkins so I made this one. She had a sister, but it's already flown the coop. This is probably the last one I'll make this year so get her while you can because she is the last of her flock. You can find her in my etsy shop.
Also new, these beautiful vintage earrings. They were so pretty, but who wants to wear scew backs? So I reworked them onto sterling silver french wires and they are in my etsy shop now. This is actually the third pair I have remade but my daughters snagged the other two! Naughty girls:>)
The photo really can't capture the sparkle you get with these vintage rhinestones. They just catch the light so beautifully. I am working on all kinds of new things and feel so excited to be doing something a bit different, and some things the same. I will be making more hearts, more birds, and some surprises. See you soon:>)

Great earrings!

Those stinker nieces of mine...well, I suppose they needed some new, cool earrings. I'm sure they look good on them. :-D

The wee birdie is ever so sweet !! Those earrings are gorgeous too !!

Beautiful earrings!! What a great idea to swap out the screw backs for hooks, I hate screw backs. They never stay put on your ear. Great Blog:)

bj said...

Ahhh, what a precious little bird...you just blow my mind with your talents, Kathy girl.
The earrings...just beautiful.

Yes, fall isn't quite here but knocking on our doors. Mornings are cool..cool enuf that I've brought a few plants inside. It was in the mid 80's yesterday, tho.

How is the bedroom coming? I am so dieing to see it all. I am trying to talk myself into painting my computer room but can't seem to get motivated. That's the way I work, tho...one morning,I'll get up, grab the paint and not go back to bed for a couple of days until I get the entire re-do finished!! Drives Bill nuts!! lol

How's everything going with your bedroom re-do?

~Blessings,
Jan

Love that bird, no wonder he's the last one. So adorable,and the earrings are beautiful! I recently discovered the joys of jewlery making, it's just one more medium to use our creativity!Very addictive though:) Take care, Becky

KarenHarveyCox said...

Kathy,
This is so well designed and beautifully made. These earrings are lovely, I didn't realize that you redesigned jewelry too. I can't imagine what you will be coming up with for Christmas. Karen

bj said...

No, darlin', you wouldn't remember Buddy Holly...you are waaaay too young. Just wondered if anyone remembered his music! Guess I'll go back and change my description...that is if BLOGGER will let me. I sure am having trouble with my postings the last couple of days.....

ShabbyInTheCity said...

Yeah! I'm having trouble with my postings too. Hateful old blogger.
Kathyyy...where's Kathy? I bought those earrings.

Kathy said...

I am also a Kathy and I saw your blog listed on another blog, so I had to come over and check your blog out. I'm glad I did. Love all your fall decorations!

I hope you have a wonderful weekend.

Tara said...

Kathy

Your birds and earrings look fabulous! And of course everything's flying the coop!

Ele at abitofpinkheaven said...

I love that bird on the pumpkins, but she had flown the coop! Great work.

So wonderful - I love it! Gorgeous earrings too! I just found your blog and have enjoyed reading it. I hope you don't mind if I add you to my blogroll. I'd love to come back and visit again!

Have a great weekend!

Those earings are beautiful!!!

I am also opening up an etsy store. I have been working on many different projects to put into the store and collecting different vintage items. What I love the most is using vintage items to make new items. I have made a couple pieces of jewelry so far. Charm bracelets are my favorite.

bj said...

Good morning, Kathy Grace...I'll bet you are as busy as a little bee, getting things done to go in your HensinDaisies shop. Can't wait to see all the goodies.
Don't work TOO hard, tho!
love, bj

Mrs. Rabe said...

Lovely work!

Those earrings remind me of Princess Diana's engagement ring.

I love your handmade things! So cute!

Sweet Cottage Dreams said...

I just love your RAVEN!!! What exceptional work you do, Miss Kathy! Good idea adding French wires to old earrings! They are stunning!!

Have a lovely new week my friend,

Thirkellgirl said...

The earrings are fantastic! I've got a load of my mother's vintage earrings and it never occurred to me that it might be possible to "rework them" and wear them as danglers. Is it hard to do? (Want to do it for me, lol?)
