Here are some of my necklaces I am creating after Junk
Bonanza 2009. My customers were able to select
3 items from my trays and junk drawers filled with an awesome variety of hardware, vintage jewelry parts, and letters or numbers, and don't forget the bling! I add the chains and beads to finish their necklace for them and
am shipping it to them in about 2-4 weeks. (Actually,
I am in the middle of this process right now!) I truly hope you all love the necklaces I have created for you. Please
carry my card with you, I've heard you may be stopped on the street and asked, "Where did you get that?!" ~Brenda These top four are complete will ship out 10/10...Today!
Only 3 more to go!
Just incase you're wondering..........Here's how I
roll.... Dede... Always returning, (and always
smiling!) brought me a few items out of her personal
stash. Sweet collective tiny things we hold dear,
but usually left in a dark drawer...
out of sight. Why? Who will see those sweet trinkets there?? No one....unless you are adorned with them! This is an option for any of my
customers, grandmas watch, dads travel tokens, and the like can be part of your new neklace!! Dede put her trust in me, to make her a few new eclectic necklaces, using these pieces
she brought to me. (shown above on my design table) By adding a few things she selected from my stash, a mix of my chains and beads, I will work her junk drawer heirlooms into some great necklaces. Options are endless! They are complete!!
Dee wished to have one double strand necklace created with
all of her things. I thought it would be a good
idea to make two seperate necklaces that could be worn together. This first one pictured it the shorter style using a drawer pull Dede chose from my junk drawer and then I completed
it using her found items.
Wearing both the long and short necklaces will defintely be
a walking billboard for me Dede! Bring 'em on!
Ok, did you know this is one of those plates that
goes behind a door knob?? Love the girly swirly design
in it! A top that, is a clip earring. A vintage earring dangle and crystally bling section of a
belt, that I found and cut up, completes Merediths' necklace using the pieces she chose. Awwh!
Received a nice hand written card from Meredith thanking me for the wonderful job I did designing her necklace!
What do you think Brenda? (Not me, Silly!) You picked out a vintage pin, to the left, which I
topped with your crystally earring. Tiny
pewter roses in a row incorporated within the chain, a copper
locket, and old key definitely add curiosity to your necklace . A random mix of clear beads, new, and recycled chains change it up!
Lindsey, did you know you chose a pewter drawer
pull??( to the left ) The old clip earring tops
it. A heart charm and a sweet blessed Mary to center
your necklace . (Hope you love the way I swagged
the chains and added just enough grey glass beads.) A
chandelier crystal dangle adds pow!
Lorraines' U Pick 3 necklace. Earrings and more earrings.
Ouch!! those clip on's hurt back in the day! It's no wonder they are better of a necklace!
"D" for "Definitely"
one of a kind Darice! The D is actually a vintage
brass compass... or is it a protractor? I always did get those 2 crossed. She also chose a vintage watch to dangle and a metal section of typewriter tab
spacing ruler. A random mix of stars, and chains...very
utilitarian!
Judy... Do Ya Love it? Drawer pull & chicken mold, Girls just wanna have fun! Or do the Funky Chicken...how 'bout both!
So who is this Queen of the Spritz cookies? She many come
in handy in a few months! ;-) Claudette, I love spritz too!
Diane, did I wrap it up for you? A wow! victorian drawer pull, a vintage flower curtain pin back, and a rhinestone
earring. Bling!
What's all the buzz about Rochelle? ...a bumble bee charm, a pretty blue earring and an old skeleton keys that has opened many a door!
1/2 of a belt buckle studded with stones dangles a J typewriter
key. To the left, 2 Hail Marys and one Our Father, (pewter rose beads) Nancy, she'll always be blessed.
For Dale~ This involves a MN Licensed Chaffuer's Button,
a key, and a piece of a vintage curtain finial. She
just keep buying them...Thanks Dale!
Sharron chose a chandelier prism, a drawer pull topped with
a tiny scissor charm, and a coin charm from a bracelet. Ta Da!
For Dale's friend Patty, they like similar things...
:-)
Susan chose a vintage brooch piece, lily pad style,
a funky vintage orange earring, and a Royal tag off of an antique typewriter. I DO use more than just the keys!
Brenda selected her 3 pieces and laid it out just so. A random mix of silver, gold, and black beads work together
lovely.
Emily liked the bowed rhinestone pin, which we took the chance
and flattened it at the show, so we could use it as one of her pieces. The vintage enamel watch face makes a "timely" statement for the angelic button.
Dancing Queen! Kim selected a piece and actually knew what it was at the time. A silver tap shoe heal!
Sew what does Dawn think of her necklace with
a late 1800's East Lake door knob plate she chose? She
loved the scissor pin and lil' old thimble. Her
only request was to keep it simple!
Shelly said, "Just wing it!" Big Green Tractor... who would think this to be the most challenging piece so far. The red water spicket centers the necklace and the metal pulley
finishes the piece. For a gal who works for John
Deere, now that'll make the boss chuckle!
A small key, a book locket, and a vintage clip earring.
Half the fun is watching people pick out their
3 pieces. I often wonder if they know what they are
or yes, sometimes, I'll even ask...why these? And then I'll get a fun story from them on how they relate to their choices. Jo chose a piece of a stove top trivet, "Management" you
know, the ones from maybe the 60's, with all of the verses on them? A black glass earring to the left and a moon earring to
the right. I think these work together great
as a necklace!
Jo Packham from http://www.wherewomencreate.com/ claimed the vintage cowboy toy, a toy clock, and a State Fair button as her 3 picks. Giddy up!
Kristina is definitely reminded to listen to her heart. I hand stamped this spoon and added it with her other selections.
Amy pick her own bloom and added it to her "Forget Me Not"
necklace.
Mary commented on her new jewels...~ Look What I Received
In The Mail Today ~( Ordered At Junk Bonanza)~ I Picked Out The Pieces ~ & Brenda Worked Her Magic !! ~Thank-you Brenda~ I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT!!! "I Just Checked Them All Out!~If Anyone Doesn't Want Theirs ILL TAKE IT!! They Are ALL FAB!!!
Here's the key hole to Lindas' necklace!
Linda hinged her decision on a hinge. Just make it pretty!
Kim commented on her necklace above... Brenda,
I recieved the necklace you made for me, the 3 charms I picked out from
the Junk Bonanza. It was absolutely BEAUTIFUL!!!! I just loved it, it was
even better than I had expected! I emailed everyone who I knew who would like your necklaces and showed them your website
with the picture of mine!
Again, Thanks so much, hope to direct customers your way!
I recall this is a gift so I will name no names. It is designed in reference to a couple in love! And the things they love!
This one I made for Jan. She always brings me little
trinkets when I see her at the shows. The clover
was a special request by her being she grew up in Rosemount, city of the Fighting Irish. I hope she likes the way I brought it all together.
