The looming holiday deadlines combined with the routine nature of some of the classic styles I've been creating since 2001 often results in new happy accidents and experiments.
I kind of want to keep this one for myself, but I never keep my favorites for myself. It's like they must be shared with the world. Instead, I keep only B-list necklaces for my own accessories.
Here are a few old school bottlecap necklaces. An art fair friend from South Dakota gave these to me. Did you notice they're from bottling companies in Aberdeen, SD and Sioux City, IA? I have just 5 bottlecaps, all really charming- I think there's also a root beer cap and an Orange Crush cap somewhere in the mix. I have no idea how much to charge for this one-of-a-kind line of charms. Creating is fun, and pricing is always the hard part.
I love using French text in my necklaces. There's something so romantic about the French language, and I think there's a bit of intrigue because I took two years in high school so I recognize certain words. Who can tell me what coeur means? Without resorting to Babelfish, I think it means "heart."

Nicki, the new charms are beautiful. I love the owl! The french words in that charm are lovely: along with "heart", I spot, "for fortune" and "singing". And it looks like "content heart" is the full phrase. Lovely all around.
Thank you so much for the interpretation, Sarah! What a neat bunch of words. I'm trying to recall where I got them. All the French-to-English books I have aren't as dark and worn as this page.
I finally got hooked up I went to my blog and everything worked. I love everything on this page. Don't under price things. It is beautiful I can't decide what I like the best!!
