Biggie Smallz


You know you really love something when you buy almost 2 identical items - large and small versions. The necklace on the left I've had for several years - love it. I scored it at my beloved Thrift Town for just a few bucks. The necklace on the right I made. The little crescent piece was sitting all alone in a 25 cent bin at a shop I frequent down the street from me. I had no idea what I would do with it, but for 25 cents... who cares right? A couple of weeks after I bought it, I added two gold jump-rings to each side and then stranded a gold chain through it. Boom - a new necklace for all of $0.25. I wear it all the time and get loads of compliments. Just goes to show you that a little imagination can take you a long way.

Do you have any favorite jewelry pieces? xo

PS - tomorrow is Friday and no one has sent me anything to share for Fabulous Finds Friday. Really? None of you have scored a single tiny treasure? Come on...sharing means caring!
