Timeless Trinkets

Timeless Trinkets Antique and Vintage Button Jewelry and Bookmarks I'm a dreamer who enjoys making treasures out of antique and vintage items. She could knit, crochet, and sew.

I delight in going to antique stores, to be surrounded by old things collected under one roof is like taking a trip back in time. I often wonder what stories my little treasure would weave if they could talk. I grew up on a farm in the Appalachian mountains of Virginia. I lived beside my grandparents and was often a shadow to my grandma. My grandmother was the local seamstress for the community. S

he would drive to North Carolina to buy bolts of fabric from the mill outlet and stock them in her small sewing room. We raised chickens, cows, made our own butter and cheese. I was always involved in some type of creative process whether it was making my own clothes or food. One of my fondest memories is running my fingers through my grandmothers button tin, I have always loved buttons! She passed down to me the love for creating and making things. I am always making something.

It's been a long time since I made a steampunk piece of jewelry. A few months ago I found this pendant and pocket watch piece sitting in my office drawer and I thought, "This is my last one." Back in 2008-2010 I sold a ton of steampunk designs. One of my customers was Courtney Love Cobain. Imagine my shock when her address came up on an order. I double checked it and yes it was her. Etsy was new and Hollywood was scouring the pages for unique designs to use in their productions. I also sold a piece that was worn by an actress in an episode of Law and Order. I probably should have capitalized on the free advertisement a bit more, but most of my pieces were one of a kind. It's not like I could have sold thousands of one design. I was more intrigued by all the places I shipped pieces internationally. I kept a log of all the countries I had shipped to. It was exciting for this small town home businesswoman/artist to see her designs travel the world. USPS must have gotten wind of the internet shopping world because the prices of international shipping went from $5 for a 2-3 ounce package to $14-$18 depending on where it's going. Plus taxes and tariffs started being added. Canada randomly pulls packages and sticks a $20 import charge on them- at this moment I can't remember what it is called- but my customer who wins the import tax lottery sure isn't happy. About five years ago I quit selling internationally, it became too expensive and a hassle. Anyways, I've rambled enough this morning. This piece just brought me back to the "good ole days" of Etsy and online shopping.

I was delighted to find these vintage buttons and even happier to discover that I had Czech glass beads to match. I had a few Bali Gold plated bead caps lying around from my hair stick making days. I only habe four bead caps, so the design is limited.
