A Designing Woman...Vintage Inspiration Friday

Happy Friday!

And welcome to the third week of 
Vintage Inspiration Friday
hosted by the darling Debra
at

Debra is hosting a weekly party
where everyone is encouraged to share whatever is inspiring us
in our creative endeavors...

Is it a design or decor book?
A fabulous store or shop?
Another blog or blogger?

If it's vintage and inspiring, this is your place to share!

This week, I wanted to feature Debra herself
and her simply stunning vintage jewelry creations,
all available in her Etsy Shop.

All created with love...


from found objects


unearthed treasures


lost lovelies


dainty and timeless


each piece one of a kind


and most definitely inspiring!


If you love what you see here


Be sure to visit Debra's gorgeous shop,


And to share your own sources of vintage inspiration, 
head on over to
at
Common Ground.

And now for a tease...

Check back soon to see how 

ain't orange no more...

{first of several coats just applied. She's still in her ugly stage right now}

Off to
Fredericksburg Trade Days ( a mini- Canton ) now.
Happy Weekend!

  9. How gorgeous. They do seem like "unearthed treasures"... like they'd been waiting together in an old purse in the back of an armoire.

  12. Pretty cool you featured Debra. She is truly an amazing woman with a heart of gold that I admire very much! The world would be a better place if we have more "Debra's" in the world. Can't wait to see the final makeover for Big Orange Betty!

    Take care, Sue

  26. I was just over at Debra's as just as I was going to comment I saw your thumbnail photo and said hey I know that piece of jewelry!!! That must have been the one I saw her do a post on and when I went to her shop it was sold so I had her make one for me. It's very much the same but with a different key and rhinestone.
    I guess we have twins..!

  29. Hi Anne,

    Personally, I don't think Big Orange Betty ever had an ugly stage. Her color might not be right in that environment, but she was amazing somewhere else.......what a magnificent piece!

    Hugs,
