Just Like Grandma used to...

So I got this idea from my Grandma and have been wanting to make these for the last two years. I finally got around to it. Yeah!  She made some of these beautiful Christmas decorations with her old necklaces, bracelets, brooches, and earrings. Of course she used gorgeous vintage jewelry and I had to settle with my old junk jewelry which mostly consists of Forever21 pieces, but you get the drift. I will now be on the hunt for some real vintage jewelry at thrift stores or maybe Ebay so that I can make it a little more authentic.

Just a quickie

Christmas is Upon Us...

The official Christmas season has begun and the Hieserich's (me) have started to decorate the house. This year I am on a mission to revamp my old and tired Christmas decorations. I decided to start on my fireplace mantel, the heart of every home, and I must admit I did so a just an weensy teensy bit before Thanksgiving. OOPS! I was inspired by all the beautiful peacock colors and feathers that have been so popular this year. I know not super original but I just LOVE THEM, so I went for it.  My next big project will be a huge painting of peacock feathers to go on the wall. This item I will keep up year round.
