... "LoveJo Vintage" :)

heres a post about a new company run by the lovely Jo who combines both of her passions, vintage accessories and jewellery, to create a mix of pretty one off pieces to make women feel fabulous! 

she is inspired by style icons from the 1930s-1980s; from Wallis Simpson to Madonna, and "gives new life to old favourites and reforms them into gorgeous vintage sparkle to create eye-catching and unique homemade jewellery".

i love her jewellery, some of the rings are really beautiful, and theyre so quirky.

heres are some of those glorious rings... that music note one in the middle is my personal favourite! i LOVE it!

if youre lucky enough to be going to the glastonbury festival this year, you might see LoveJo Vintage goodies being sold in a 1950s double decker bus. how good is that...

if you like what u see, do check out her website at... http://www.lovejovintage.com/ 
theres a facebook page www.facebook.com/lovejodesigns
 and you can also follow her on twitter too, like i do @LoveJoVintage

i do hope youve enjoyed this post and that you will be ever so taken with the lovely pieces LoveJo Vintage has to offer!

hello there.

im gona start doing more posts about the jewellery makers i like and their pieces. heres the first of many...

'phatgrrl' is a jewellery designer/maker ive liked for a while. as soon as i saw her goodies, i LOVED them. theyre just so quirky and i love the charm-loaded pieces like the bracelets and necklaces... theres such a funky mix of charms from hearts and bows to skulls and crosses. i also like the use of 'doll' parts like arms and faces. theyre weirdly cute :)

here are some examples of her stuff...

le vintage...

ive made 2 new things as part of my 'Victoriana' collection...

the first one i made is called "Gemima" and was made using a vintage watch case my brother gave me [hes well into watches!] encased within that is a vintage-inspired image, 2 pearl beads and a pink Gem. its on a silver-tone vintage chain too! i really like it.

the second is called "countryGaRden" and was made using a HUGE vintage floral frame pendant, on an antiqued-bronze coloured chain. it also features a little leaf charm too and i think its rather quaint. lol.

hope u like em, do comment if u wish...

liebe das vintage.
