Girl Crush No4 : ssd jewelry

I had the pleasure of meeting Melissa Lowery
the amazing talent behind ssd jewelry
at last Sundays bazaarSPARK market!

I was walking by the booth she shared with her gal pal jewelry designer Tiffany Coley (we'll get to her in a sec.!) & was stopped dead in my tracks by not just her gorgeous etched metal jewelry but her display!

A fellow good girl with vintagey props,
I decided I had to meet her!!

I love how she repurposes the vintage coffee tins!!!

They are my fave... mmmm...right after this one!

She was super sweet & Tiffany Coley was the perfect mate to balance out the tent! Tiffany is a genius at enameling & her rings seemed to have a rainbow bursting from them!


I love love loved her fortune cookie necklaces with the fortunes hammered into little scrolls!

Love is for the lucky and the brave is my favorite
...it's is the story of my life {le sigh}

You can check out more of Tiffany's collection @

Won't you pay them a visit?

I took this shot of Jamie (Revamp)
vamping up her tent that same day :)

Who/what are you crushing on lately???

Girl Crush No3 : Rocket Betty Designs

I had the pleasure of hanging out with Margo of Rocket Betty Designs yesterday morning. Working in costume design has lent her an amazing eye for detail as well as a tremendous passion for vintage flair! She let me into her wonderful world of Rockabilly goodness & I have pictures to prove it :)

Are you birds having a productive week? I was a Hot Mess yesterday after my meeting w/Margo so it was very appropriate & fitting that I made several Tangled Mess bracelets last night ...lol!

I am in loooove with this one
... it reminds me of the cartoon Jem :)

Jem is truly outrageous truly-truly-truly outrageous ;) Did I just totally date myself as a product of the '80's ...hahaha ;)

I don't think they will be going into the shop since I'm trying to get lots of jewelry made for bazaarSPARK the day after the fashion show. If you're interested in one hit me up on here & I'll create a special listing for you. Oh & thank you for the love on the jewelry yesterday! Goodies flying right out of the shop!

& now that the theme song from Jem is in my head ...
I'll leave you with this ;)
