Makes No Cents

What I love about craft fairs are finding those one or two extremely unique and fascinating booths that really blow my mind. At the holiday craft fair in Pensacola last year, this coin jeweler was that booth. He collected old and rare coins and transformed them into earrings, bracelets, and necklaces. But the most amazing aspect was his skill at cutting. He had—with great precision —cut out such intricate patterns as dragons and buffalos to indian headdresses and ships. I believe the one I bought was an old English coin, but I bought it mainly because loved the larger size of the piece and detail in the ship. It's so cool that you can even still discern the shape of the portrait imprinted on the back. Anyway, without further ado, here it is!

A Silk Dress and Some Super Bowls

 Here is what I'm wearing to church today. I love this dress because it is so elegant. I can wear it with a sweater or simply with gloves--depending on the weather (which means today it will definitely be the sweater...and a coat!) Looking at this, I'm realizing that one thing I'm missing is some nice hats. That's on my list. ;)

Oh and I love this necklace; it's made from a typewriter key! I got mine at a local shop called "Etc." but you can find them on etsy too at places like this. 

Also, the other day, I was at a thrift store and I saw this lovely set of bowls. I had seen it there a few times before and it caught my eye, but this time I finally bought it. And it was most definitely worth it--I ended up getting a set of 5 for only a dollar! For some reason, I find that I enjoy decorating my future kitchen the most. I am planning on it being very colorful to say the least. :)
