Merry Christmas

Here is a vintage Merry Christmas From Trifari. And below is two images of the necklace bracelet called Forbidden Fruit 1950 Pat. Pending. Below is the advertisement for just the jewelry alone. 

Silver Forest of Vermont

As I was going through an old box I ran across two pairs of earrings that I had bought while working retail in the 90's. I decided one pair would go really nice with an outfit.

I was curious to see if the brand still existed. It does and I'm even happier because I just found out it's made in the USA. My husband and I always try to find products not made in china. That doesn't mean I don't buy products made in China but I would rather support small businesses or opt for well made item that cost more from elsewhere. http://sfvt.com/about/ you can read up about it here but they consider it wearable art. Here is the last pair of earrings that I have of Silver Forest.

Season of Sparkle

As we head in to December for me it usually means a great season to wear sparkly jewels. If you walk into any large department store you will see tables stacked in tiers of wonderful dazzling jewelry sets or pins but don't be fooled by the price. I'm showing you a very modern lovely glass beaded bracelet. I did not get this at a department store but instead at Michaels Arts and Crafts store in their bead section.

Regular price $3.99 with a 50% off any regular price coupon yup $1.99. Shop around and be thrifty. I actually bought this to take it apart for the beads. Then I saw that it went well with the top I was wearing. Oh what to do?! I wore it to work with my sparkly top to match.
