Etsy weekend shopping…… In Sherry Truitt’s shop I found this necklace that is made with a repurposed carpenter’s level. I like this necklace because it immediately brought my Grandpa to mind. He used one, but it had yellow liquid inside.

Here’s what Sherry had to say about her True Blue Spirit Level Neckace…..

Etsy weekend shopping…. I found an interesting interview with  jewelry designing sisters, Courtney Spivak and Christina Spivak, whose shop White Owl carries lovely jewelry made from vintage items like  reclaimed crochet pieces, lace, or metals.

Christina Spivak is a stylist and commercial photographer. She’s worked in both independent and Hollywood film. The sisters began by selling their pieces in craft fairs and now their work …read more

Etsy weekend shopping……… Today we are going to take a look at Creative Rampage’s shop.
How cool is this Ouija board necklace?!  Made from a recycled bottle cap, it measures a bit larger than 1 inch. The Ouija necklace is strung on a 24 inch ball chain. I remember getting an Ouija board for Christmas one year and it was always such a fun, but creepy experience playing with it. Either one of my girls would love this charm pendant.
