I THINK I HAVE FOUND MY CREATIVITY AGAIN

I decided that it was time for me to try to use up some of my leftover beads from my collections. And believe me, I have collections!

So this has been a fun few days as I dug through my beads to see what I could come up with.  Here is one of the projects that came from that bead hunt...

This is a16 inch necklace and I love the color.  So now on to a few more projects!  And thanks for stopping by!!

ANOTHER GREAT FIND

 This is another Vintage Necklace I found at a the discount store.

I Iove all the pretty beads on this pretty necklace. 

The clasp on this necklace appears to be a old one. Mot sure but it sure is a pretty one.

JOINING BEAUTY TOGETHER

I love all these beautiful different styles of necklaces. And it is always fun to wear them all.

 

MY FAVORITE FIND!

This is a very lucky find.

There was one stone missing so I got it very cheap.

I think it is beautiful. I am keeping it for myself!

GOOD IDEAS

I have finally got a bit smarter...amazing at my age!! When I purchase beads at my favorite resale store I have found several strung necklaces and bracelets included.  I realized that I needed to take photo's of these items as some were cute...but not my style...this way I will have a record of just how the previous owner beaded this item.  Then one day I may try to bead one like it.
Good ideas are sometimes slow in coming!!

MY FAVORITE BRACELET FIND!

This is another one of my very lucky jewelry find. I think this is the prettiest bracelet I have ever found.

Now on to the next project....hmmmm..what shall that be??

MORE FINDS

I think I can repair and make this bracelet look like new again.

What a great find in the vase again!

I LOVE THESE SWEET BEADS!

Two ways to wear this pretty Seed Bead Necklace.

THIS WILL BE A FUN ITEM TO WEAR

I found this beaded necklace at the my favorite resale store on a different day.  I did not like the necklace at all but knew I could make it look very different without much trouble. 

 I restrung the entire necklace and changed the look completely.  Sorry I forgot to take a before photo.  I sure wish I had because even the original maker of this necklace would not recognize it now.

The above photo is the true color of this beaded item.  I had a very difficult time trying to get my camera to not try to change the color of the beads.

As you can see by this photo the camera won the battle on this one.

ANOTHER TREASURE FOUND!

This is another gem I found at the donations store the other day.

I had a difficult time getting the colors correct with my camera but this is the closest to the true color of the two photography's.

I couldn't believe the wonderful treasure I found today!!  And it is in excellent shape!

What a beautiful treasure. I will wear it with pride and keep it safe.

SOMETIMES YOU JUST GET LUCKY..

While snooping at my favorite donation center I discovered they sell odds and ends pieces of  jewelry in bulk.  They fill these flower vases with all kinds of jewelry and sell it at a set price.  The jar is always filled to the top.  You can not dump it out to see just what is in it...what you see in the jar is what you get.  I have to admit that I have bought a few of these treasure filled vases and I have not been disappointed yet.

There are several plastic necklaces and bracelets but they never fail to put in a few surprises that cause me to keep coming back for more.

This plain looking vases held several surprised on my first purchase.

  A treasure to someone at one time.

  And I will make it beautiful again and enjoy it every time I wear it.

What a bargain!
