Another Front Page Treasury

As posted below, I have gotten addicted to making treasuries. Here is my latest that made the front page!

I absolutely ADORE making treasuries on Etsy! Today I went for a much needed massage and out for lunch with a friend, when I got home, I hopped on the computer and saw that my treasury was on the front page! Yay! It was called Honey, Honey up in the trees...Lyrics from a Fiest song! I LOVE Fiest! A very warm and fun treasury!

Recycled Accessories

Every little bit helps! Saving pieces from going to Landfill!

We have started making jewellery from recycled building materials that were headed towards the trash. Kaleb my husband (works in building construction) has been saving pieces here and there, and my sister's boyfriend Gerry has given us some cool pieces too! Some of the new pieces made from salvaged scraps:

The above pair was made using Moroccan wood that was part of a Clementine Box.
