New Broken China Jewelry In My Shop Today!

Here are a few of the new jewelry pieces that I finished up yesterday. These are

 all made from broken china: plates, saucers, etc. and each is completely handmade by 

me from start to finish. 

I have amassed a huge collection of plates and china pieces over the years. If I had to 

take a guess I'd estimate that I have about 800 pieces of china in stock right now!

For The Love Of Gingerbread - Ideas & Inspiration

What's not to love about gingerbread?

It's traditional, beautiful, it smells and tastes good...
  Best of all, it's moldable, and so much fun to work with and create with!
I can't think of a better way to spend a snowy afternoon than making and
decorating some type of gingerbread creation. 

This holiday season, why not try your hand at creating your own gingerbread masterpiece?
