My made-up dreams.

One of my favorite jewelry designers and a huge inspiration to me and my shop is Erica Weiner. She creates jewelry from beautiful vintage things. I discovered her at Renegade Craft Fair in Chicago a couple years ago and bought a pair of gold earrings (worn here).

Last night while I was browsing Tumblr, I came across this article about Erica. In it she talks about her first craft show in Philadelphia and how she got started. I am so much more of a fan after reading it because I can relate to her. And yes, my (secret) dream is to be a jewelry designer or at the very least a regular at craft shows. 



This necklace is on my birthday wish list and one of the many items I am in love with from her site.  

I also came across this necklace which gave me a DIY idea.




Her 14K gold plated button necklace is adorable, but a bit out of my price range. I went on a search for some golf vintage buttons and found these to put onto a thin gold chain.


Gold + mint green? Yes.


Anyway! I was feeling inspired and had to share. Check out Erica Weiner's jewelry and let me know what you think! I have so many DIY's involving Neon & paint for this weekend, so stay tuned for that.

  1. I always find fun buttons but don't really know what to do with them. Plus the mint green and gold would be super cute.
