Oh Dries.  You never cease to inspire me with your seemingly effortless use of pattern.

Love this new-ish line that was posted by Refinery 29.  Some very sweet looks for Spring.  It sort of reminds me of a pared down version of the now defunct Mayle which was one of my favourite lines.

Just a little note to say that I have put even more jewelry up in the shop.  By the way, if you ever can’t remember what my Etsy shop is called, I now have a badge on The Looksee homepage that will take you straight there.  I am trying to hustle on making jewelry, since I start a new job next week (woohoo!).  Here are some sneak previews.

I hand-painted these vintage pendants which were plain brass to begin with:

And made them into these:

And also put up some vintage Bakelite stickpins and a few other things:

I find myself lately inexplicably drawn to knotted accessories.  You may have noticed me posting them here and there.  I must not (knot?) be the only one loving them right now because they’re everywhere!    Here are a few recent ones I’ve found to drool over.

Updated my Etsy shop!  I am putting up new jewelry.  I just re-listed my triangle grid necklaces, as I sold out of the first three, thanks to you all.  I am also putting up some very deco-looking necklaces that I made from unique vintage Czech glass beads combined with new chain and findings. Will be listing some other new thing in the coming week… will keep you posted!

I love this most recent collection from Pencey, a fairly new line out of New York.  So perfect for summer.

Just wanted to post that I’ve started making jewelry again! Some of you know I used to have a jewelry line called “Small Thunder” which sold at Ron Herman, but I had stopped making jewelry for a while (aside from the occasional gift or personal project). I recently found these great vintage brass triangles and have been making necklaces with new goldplated chain. Right now I have enough for three necklaces worth. I will contact my source for more if they do well! I will post photos as I add more new items.

I have admired this Etsy shop for a while–  even more so now that they are making these lovely knit bags!  I am totally one of those people that carries around a gigantic old bag as a purse, so these drew me in.  The best part is that they are custom, so you can pair your own colours.

I am totally enamoured of this jewelry line!  The top two are definitely my favourites.  To quote another blog I like, “If you can’t buy it, blog it!”
