Repurposed

I was recently at an outdoor antique show and bought a brooch with the sole purpose of taking it apart and reusing the silver and gold dangles (bottom of the earrings pictured). The brooch had about 5 of these and I knew I wanted to use a couple of them for earrings. Really happy with the way these turned out. I sold them back in June at an art festival.

Antique and thrift stores are filled with treasures that you can repurpose. Do you have a favorite store that you frequent in hopes of finding items to repurpose and use in your jewelry designs? I have several and one of my favorites is the Burlington Antique Show. It's an outdoor show that happens only once a month, April thru October. It was on the PBS show, Market Warriors and also voted "The Country's 10 Best Flea Markets for the Coolest Finds!" by Yahoo.

Thanks so much for stopping by and have a fabulous weekend,
