Collecting Vintage Jewelry Advertisements
I love love love looking at vintage jewelry ads from old magazines. I’ve purchased a few online and at flea markets. They can get pricey though so lately I’ve been “collecting” them on Pinterest.

Just a quick note to show you the wooden Nuvo charms I bought on eBay. They have the older mark. The new mark has the word Nuvo written out. They are in great condition and I didn’t pay very much for them so I’m not sure if I got a really good deal of they […]
Did You Know Longaberger Baskets Made Charms?
I just found these 2 Longaberger Basket charms in the way back recesses of my safe and thought I’d see if anyone else has any. They are both stamped 14K and Longaberger. The small one is flat on the back and has some dimensional detail on the front. The larger one is completely figural. It […]
Time On My Hands – Assembling My Hands Charm Bracelet
First the non-charm stuff – Today is my first day of being completely self-employed. I’ve decided to ditch the corporate job and make a go of it on my own. It feels great. Scary but great. My stress level is down 500 percent. That may not be the case in a few months if I’m […]
