DIY: white nutcrackers …

December 17, 2010

i really loved these west elm nutcrackers i spied in their christmas catalog this year.

then, of course i thought to just try to make my own version.
so, i headed to my nearest thrift store and found two handsome guys, for only $2 a piece.

i pulled off their hair and facial hair, sanding off the extra bits (sounds mean, huh?) and, one can of white spray paint later, here are the two handsome fellas now over my fireplace…

i thought they were pretty fun!
and, it all cost me less than $8!

pink + peach …

December 16, 2010

i am obsessed with pink’s and peaches lately.

forget winter, i just couldn’t help make this new springy polly necklace.

now available in the armelle jewelry shop!

*i am now all caught up on orders.  if you have placed an order, as of now they are all shipped!  
if you would still like to order for christmas, there is still a little time, and priority shipping is available for $3 extra, inquire for details.
