Out of the Boudoir

Etsy Love

It is so amazing to me the sense of community not only within the Etsy family, but in the whole craft industry. I was so excited to hear that my shop was being featured this week in Crystal's blog!
She and her mom are the creative minds behind 2BellesBeads, an Etsy shop filled with pieces that are classic, timeless and beautiful!

Let's keep supporting each other so make sure you stop by and check them out!
Thanks so much Crystal!!

Reuse, Recycle

I started rescuing old beads a while back...all remnants of old broken jewelry. Mostly the kind that lay unwanted in the bargain basket at flea markets. Boy! if I could show you my drawer full!!


These are just a few of the ones I've sold to very talented individuals who I'm sure will give them new life. For me, I get great satisfaction knowing they are being reused.


I love vintage beads. They have challeged me to photograph them in a different way. I want to compliment their beauty, I want to create excitement about their possibilities, I want to spark someone's imagination and creativity...


Gosh! You'd think I was talking about something else!

Anyhoo peeps, let these pics be a glimpse into that drawer full!
