SHE CHARMED ME..........

                She has a little pout going on...................


Probably because she had to get her hair curled
within an inch of her life, and put that checkered dress on.
I bet she hated getting dressed up and having her picture taken.


This was fun to make because most
of the "charms" were gifts
from friends.


Besides the coins I included a crucifix from Lourdes ,
religious medals, watch fob, vintage bits of chain,
old steel cut links, rosary beads, Baltic amber,
and of course the old tintype of "Smiley".

  1. She is "charming" made even more precious by the love each gift holds.

    P.S. Mayhaps her pearl choker is a wee bit too tight...that or her corset...or those curls!

  3. HaHaHa! What a delight she must have been that day! You come up with the best stuff made from things most would never look at twice. I LOVE it! When are you going to start selling these things? Don't tell me you make them and then just let them sit around...
