Swell weekends

Hello, lovely people!

I've been SO very busy this week with my real work, and I was actually social this Bank Holiday weekend. Because of this and general laziness, I only managed to make one necklace this weekend! In my defense, it did take me most of the day. I am rubbish.

Anyway, here is my latest piece:




This necklace is made from a vintage shoe clip, hung on vintage chain and adorned with freshwater pearls. What do you think? Is it too extravagant? I quite like the regal feel of it, but then again I'm a bit too into the Tudor style.

I apologise for the short post! Hopefully I'll be more productive once I've moved and am more settled in my new place.

Thank you for reading and commenting! You are my sunshine, my only sunshine...

Much love,

Frankie
Swell Vintage

    I'm giggling at the song...I started to sing it as I was reading. Drat...now I won't be able to get it out of my head! Love the new necklace and no...it isn't too over the top but just right!

    B-E-A-UTIFUL! I love it. I'm saving my pennies to buy one of your pieces! I can't wait! Thanks for your comment on my post! I should hopefully have the next couple of videos done by the time you have some needles and yarn! Also, i am from Norwich. Are you living in London? I travel down there a lot to play gigs (in fact i am playing one tonight at the old blue last!) We should have afternoon tea! xx

    I love the regal feel as well, I also love the extra chain hanging with the pearls. You always find the most lovely chains too.
