Hi there, I just joined this team and am happy to be here among such creative "repurpose" people! My latest passion is creating vintage repurposed jewelry out of old discarded treasures and things that I've found at local flea markets and estate sales. Items like old beaded clip-on earrings, rhinestone brooches, broken rosaries and religious medals, skeleton keys and old coins, etc, etc. I love all things vintage and antique and love to repurpose these things into fun new jewelry! Here are some samples:
I scour estate sales and flea markets, rummage sales and thrift shops (just as I did with my mom when I was young!) in search of old and unusual items to repurpose into my jewelry. Each item is handcrafted with care using antique and vintage jewelry components, old rosaries and religious medals, coins, keys and other interesting finds, creating a one-of-a-kind piece -- with a new identity.
