Child's Play

In a previous life, these tin strawberry components were a vintage child's tea set.  Kimberly Rogers found the little plates at a rummage-type sale where she freeform hand-cut and filed each one.




Shabby chic, rustic with a playful history.  I love the roughed up bits on these charms as they show the many hours of fun some little girls must have had with them.



A row of pretty champagne colored rondell crystals added to the bottom for a little subtle bling.  


I love a pop of dark metal so I paired these with some handmade oxidized sterling silver ear-wires and blackened jump-rings.




Vintage celluloid strawberries in a beautiful iridescent cream, circa 1940.  I think they lend sophistication and polish to the mix and a lovely balance of color as well.



A sweet little Valentine for you all! ♡

Thank you for stopping by my worktable!

  1. I think I had a tea set very similar to this one when I was young. I love these earrings and they bring back good memories.
