My friend Carrie, from The Passionate Home in Langley, loves old stuff as much as I do.
She gave me a bag of vintage treasures to dig through in order to create a necklace for her....here is the first of two that I have made for her (please no peeking Carrie!!).
The old optical lens looks wonderful paired with this rather gothic looking silver piece.
I am so excited to tell you that Carrie is in the process of moving her store to a BIGGER location!!!
Be sure to visit The Passionate Home in downtown Langley (reopening this Wednesday!)...you will find wonderful goods for your home, both new and vintage.
