This copy of Petunia by Roger Duvoisin is from an Etsy shop called Vintage Kids' Books My Kid Loves , a store full of old and amazing children's books including classics like Green Eggs and Ham . I love the idea of this, recycling old books, and I can't think of a better way to save money this season. Those prices are unbeatable, and even though Leta can't appreciate the vintage quality yet, I am...

Vintage Celluloid Ring . I made this from an old clip earring. I think it looks like a bride's bouquet. Apple Juice Resin Ring . This looks just like a Bakelite button. But it's actually a vintage earring made from resin that I converted into a ring. Sterling Silver Squirrel Charm Necklace . I used my last glass acorn bead on this necklace. I loved how faceted and pretty these were.
