family jewels

If you've got a box full of costume vintage jewelry that you don't wear for one reason or another (only one earring/don't wear clip earrings/the pin is missing the back..you get the idea) you can send them to Sara at BroadStreet on etsy and she'll create a one of a kind, conversation starter necklace to wear and enjoy. Here's what she wrote about my new necklace:

"A compact collage of a pendant with rhinestones, crowns, French Bulldogs, Toulouse flowers and pearls. A multi chain with original integrity to finish.It 's almost as though this piece is a revival of a fallen empire; looking into a well of treasures and bringing them to the surface, piece by piece."

Which seems only fitting~ tomorrow is Bastille Day!
