French Lampshade Thrift Store Find

May 25, 2013

Have you ever had one of those days when you actually heard the thrift store calling you?  I had one of those days recently and boy was I glad I did!  I really wasn't expecting to find anything special but I stumbled upon this.

Vintage Medal Sneak Peek

May 21, 2013

Today I'd like to share with you a sneak peek at one of my most recent vintage jewelry designs. 


I combined two different vintage earrings to create the focal piece, then added an antique brass miraculous medal dangle. It all hangs from a uniquely-shaped vintage rosary connector that has a silhouette of Mary right in the middle of it.

Wheat-grass Decor 101

Easy-to-grow wheat-grass makes for some fabulous indoor decor.  You see it in magazine photo shoots all the time. And what better time than spring to grow a little bit of it for yourself?  Now I know some people actually grow it for their cats, and even for their own wheat-grass juice (yikes!) but I am in it strictly for the decor.  Just sayin.

Exciting News: My Craft:Boom! Internship

May 15, 2013

Hello, friends!  I'm here to make an announcement, of sorts.  For those of you who follow Charm Bracelet Diva on Facebook, you might already know this.  For the rest of you, here's the news:  I recently began a blogging internship as a contributing writer for a website called Sparkplugging:

 (spark-plug-ing) transitive verb; giving life or energy to an endeavor.

Sparkplugging offers work-at-home resources for home-based entrepreneurs.  According to Sparkplugging:

More businesses are starting at home now than ever before. Technology is transforming marketing, sales, & life balance. Sparkplugging supports today's home office workers - where life, work, & purpose are one.

So if you're one of those work-at-home types, or even if you're one of those Wanna Be work-at-home types, Sparkplugging's for you.


 
My niche over there is on their Indie Sellers blog, Craft::Boom!  So far I've written two posts and I'd love for you to stop by and check them out.  One post is about things you need to know before selling at craft shows.  {I really have to thank my friend, Betsy, over at My Salvaged Treasures, for giving me permission to use one of her awesome craft show booth photos. Thanks, Betsy!} The other is about the pros and cons of turning your hobby into a business.

Ever buy something thinking it was one thing and later find out it was really something else?  Not that I like to admit it, but sometimes in my haste to purchase a "score" at Goodwill I might accidentally overlook a flaw or two in the merchandise.  Take this small storage bench, for example.

Folding Table Transformation

May 5, 2013

Today I wanted to share with you the reveal of one of my $1.99 Goodwill folding "T.V" tables.  I first mentioned them here, where I used them in the family room as props for my Captain's Lanterns photo shoot.
