Chrissy Gemmill Jewelery

Photobucket
Hello, Smile and Wave readers! My name is Chrissy Gemmill. I am a jewelry designer, teacher, wife and mom to a sweet 2 year old boy! I have a blog where I chronicle my little world through my journey as a self-employed girl living in the beautiful historic town of Frederick, MD. I also sell my handcrafted jewelry on Etsy!

Photobucket
My jewelry collection, which includes layered chains, chain mail, sterling silver skulls, owls, flowers and lockets, upholds the delicate balance of femininity and edge. Reflecting the past, my line also includes vintage chain, antique buttons, beads and skeleton keys. Naturally oxidized by time, the re-purposed materials I use are combined with oxidized sterling silver to reveal modern vintage jewelry.

Photobucket
My giveaway item is these little Lotus Flower Earrings. The earrings are handmade in sterling silver that I oxidized. The retail value of these earrings is $46.

Hi there! I'm Heather-- a wife, a crafter, a blogger and a rogue ballerina! Lilac & Lace is my little corner of the internet where I share my daily escapades in the slums of Beverly Hills. I like the color of eggplant, holidays, sparkles and making tutus.

Photobucket
I am honored to be sponsoring Smile & Wave this month! I am the proprietor of my very own Etsy shop, Red Ribbon Fox, where I sell handmade tutus, hair accessories and all kinds of pretty things for ballerina's (or wanna-be ballerinas) of all ages!

These 4 girls are in the original package, measure 11 x 14, and I don't think they have ever been framed. These are just a taste of vintage offerings from MadeYaLook.

Each book is built with 100% recycled paper, textured European paper, pockets, library cards, and embellishments that are just perfect for documenting your world. You'll laugh. You'll cry. You'll never forget.

Giveaway is for a $25 gift certificate to Gadanke.

I collect vintage pint glasses! I really have learned to appreciate how beer is made and I really have started to enjoy the taste of it too ( I really didn't use to).

I think it's important to get use out of what you collect too. We use the pint glasses for juice, lemonade, and water everyday.

Your blog is great, Rachel!

katie scarlett said...

Vintage cameras line the windowsill in my bungalow living room--they are my favorite collection. But your collection of typewriters inspires me to start a new collection for my studio! And I adore those journals!

I have a small collection of luster ware pitchers and luster ware toothpick holders, a collection of (mostly gifts) carnival glass, and the kitchen is overrun with pigs and strawberries..the pigs have invaded other areas of the house too. And dolls also a lot of dolls have found their way here.

i collect vintage cameras and matchbooks. i didn't ever intend to collect matchbooks, but while i was working at a thrift store a few years ago someone donated their entire collection (more than likely they passed away) and i just couldn't let them get thrown away. so now i have them filling pretty jars around our house. :]

I collect snails. Let me tell you why. I studied in Siena Italy while there I lived in the Contrada di Chiocciola (The "Snail Quarter"). I was there for the annual Palio (bareback horserace in honour of the Virgin Mary) and got Chiocciola fever (the race is run by representative jockeys from each quarter). I have glass snails, pewter, handcarved wood and even a stuffed Gary (of Spongebob Squarepants fame ~meow!)

Hoorah for giveaways!!

I collect little boxes without even trying, you know, the perfect little box for that little gift. I find them so much more personable and fun than a bag.

Betsy said...

I collect craft supplies and clothing, but I used to collect egg cups when I was a kid.(Anyone want an egg cup collection? Haha)

Thanks for the awesome blog + giveaway!

oh boy...I collect tons of things! But my longest running collection is elephants. I don't know why, but I've been collecting them ever since the first grade. Needless to say...I've got a whole herd of elephants by now.

It's a relatively new thing but it seems I collect fabric now. It used to be books but I decided to part with them after reading because I was getting lost in the piles. Now it's ebooks :)

It might be easier to list the things I don't collect! I collect old keys, alarm clocks and watches that I take apart and reuse, vintage white pottery, stone birds, photographs and prints of barns and cows, flower frogs, pottery bowls, books, vintage white nightgowns, paper wasp nests, buttons, vintage jewelry--you get the idea! This is only some of what I collect. And mostly I collect mixed media papercrafting art supplies! Anne, yourmainestamper

I love to collect and look at skeleton keys...Just to think about all the hands that have touched them through time and all the doors they have unlocked and secrets they have kept behind the lock...To me they also represent unlocking opportunities of the future and, of coarse, keys to unlock the heart....
