1950s Crystal Bracelet
Given to me as a gift.
How to wear: I call this my prism bracelet. It’s best worn with bright bold apparel because a different set of colors come out depending on how the light hits the crystal.

The Mason Jar
Purchased from Fishs Eddy
How to use: There’s a mason jar craze hitting the DIY blogs, so I decided to feature my first ‘vintage for the home’ piece. Invented and patented by John Landis Mason (a Philadelphia tinsmith) in 1858, the glass jar was originally used in canning to preserve food. Today, mason jars are the perfect throwback decorative accessory for any home or office. I’ve used mine as flower vases, cork containers, or even storage cases at work.

1930s Broach
Inherited from my grandma in 2001.
How to wear: A broach can always be worn the traditional way (pinned to a jacket or sweater), but I decided to make it into a necklace by attaching it to a gold chain.
Piece of the week #9
1980s Floral Dress
Purchased at Etsy.com.
How to wear: Nothing says “it’s Spring!” better than this dress. It always makes a bold statement, so it’s perfect for weddings or special occasions. I made a matching fascinator for last year’s Kentucky Derby party.

“ The beauty of a woman is not in the clothes she wears, the figure that she carries, or the way she combs her hair. The beauty of a woman is seen in her eyes, because that is the doorway to her heart, the place where love resides. True beauty in a woman is reflected in her soul. It’s the caring that she lovingly gives, the passion that she shows & the beauty of a woman only grows with passing years.”
