I'm in this Treasury on Etsy

Thru the kindness of fellow Etsian Sellers and their tips in the Forums I was able to copy the entire Treasury and post it on my Blog!
Such an honor to be included with such talent! And all I did was to find a pair of vintage earrings and list them for sale in my Etsy shop! :o)
Yeah, I feel like this was a major accomplishment for me to get this Treasury posted to my Blog!

Included in Treasury on Etsy

One of the exciting parts of being a Seller on Etsy is the support and recognition other Sellers will give to someone they don't know personally! I love being a small part of Etsy Seller and am so humbled to be a part of a Treasury. Check it out:




This link will only last a few days....and I'm having trouble getting the whole Treasury copied and printed but these are the earrings that made the above Treasure.

Recyling Vintage Jewelry


I recently listed a number of new items in my Etsy Shop, marlajdesigns.etsy.com

I love taking Vintage Jewelry Components and creating something new! My favorite is this Hair Comb. I used part of a Vintage pin, added a Swarovski Crystal....a few more Swarovski Crystals and Ta Da!!!
On the back of the pin component is "made in Austria". I didn't cover it up, you can still see it. I'm thinking this is pre WWII. There are also some Rhinestones still intact, as well. Vintage Swarovski? Don't know for sure...
I have some Vintage Jewelry Components I plan to create earrings with!!! Mmmmmm......
