Car Boot Bargains & New Pendant Designs

Today I went down to the local car boot sale and picked up some bargains.

Two brand new, sealed craft kits, a small vintage dolls house sideboard (10p!) cute vest top with silver sequins, candle wall holder and beautiful ethnic looking metal canister.

These items I will use for displaying jewellery at shows.  The little mirrored cupboard, originally meant for ornaments, I am going to paint and re-vamp a little.

How GORGEOUS are these! A set of jewelled, shabby chic, crystal items, so pretty! Two photograph frames and two nightlight holders all for just £1.  I will be keeping these.

Today I worked some more on the repurposed tin pendants that I make.  Somebody had requested a double sided one and I had to design them differently to make it possible.  It turned out to be quite a challenge (have I said this already?) Anyway, I eventually found a way to do it and delivered the pendant to a very happy customer and I'm intending to make some more this way and put them in the shop, as it worked out better than I expected.

Hope you've all had a productive and happy weekend and I'd like to leave you with a thought (and a really cute pic of the fur babies!)

Who, What, When, Where, Why, and How

Who? I guess that's me.

I'm Beverley. I am a mixed media, Indie, art designer, which basically means I make things! LOTS of things. I love to create.  I have a little misi shop on-line where I sell my jewellery, stationary, housewares, gifts, art and other many varied creations that I make in my home studio (that's my little shed in the garden).

I like to recycle, re-make, re-use, re-fashion, wherever possible so lots of my items are one of a kind (ooak) unique things that you will not see anywhere else.

Here I am. I don't change colour that often in real life, although sometimes I'd like to.  I am 44 years old. A Christian, wife, and mother to five children.

 

That's them!

My 1st Grand Son is due in October and we are all looking forward to that.

We also share our home with two gorgeous fur babies

Sid is a Yorkie x Jack Russell and Amos is an American Bulldog.

Lots of things inspire my work, I love the sea and we have a little hide-away caravan by the beach where I spend lots of my time. I love to hunt through junk shops and car boots for vintage and unusual bits and pieces.

My new mission is to re-style our home using as many recycled or re-purposed items as I can.  I hope you'll want to stay with me on that journey and be inspired and share some of your own ideas with me along the way.

I'll be showing you my little workshop, my desk, the stash, work in progress, telling you about the new things I have planned for the shop, showing you my home, the before and after shots and sharing a little of my day to day life, dreams, fears and loves with you.

I do hope you'll make a mug of coffee, pull up a chair and share some of it with me. Please leave me a comment, share your own blogs and ideas and take the time to connect. I'd love to hear from you!
