A baker's dozen of these GORGEOUS antique porcelain knobs in superb condition: $10 (Funny aside, the tag on these said "antic noobs"...boy does that make me giggle!!!)

Set of vintage jadite tupperware reamers: 25 cents

Vintage embroidered pink satin hanky holder: $1.40



Love, love, love these sheets!! I found 2 sets of these in fabulous condition: $4.90 each.
I'm dreaming of a rug in these colors, mmmmm.

Thank you so much to all who voted in the Etsyfriends Team Earth Day Challenge- my rug came in first place!! All of the entries were wonderful, so I am very honored!!

Friday's Favorite: Remnants Jewelry

It is ALL in the dainty details at Remnants Jewelry. One glorious peek into this shop makes you want to grab your cuppa, pull up your oh so overstuffed slipcovered chair, wrap yourself in your most vintage and soft chenille spread and just revel in the feminine beauty contained therein.

Samantha, the artist and shopowner, creates "one of a kind wearable art. Designed, carefully thought out and hand crafted from all different types of remnants." She currently features wrist cuffs and rings, and believe me, each one is even more lovely than the next!

Choosing a favorite is impossible, and don't these photos do an excellent job of showcasing the gorgeous details of these items? From the chosen bits of embroidery pieced from antique linens, to the delicate lacework and minute beads and bits of sparkle, the eye is treated to a spectacular feast with every shot.

I feel exceedingly more beautiful and feminine just having spent time in this shop! Samantha's goal is "to create items which are lovely to look at and a joy to wear", and I can tell by reading the descriptions and looking at the photos that she is very serious about this intention.

The items showcased here are just a tiny tidbit of what this amazing shop has to offer. Please treat yourself to a visit to Remnants Jewelry when you have a moment to swoon and dream a little. I dare you to try to choose just one favorite! Please come back and post a comment here after you have poked around; I can't wait to hear your thoughts!
