Recently I stumbled on one of the loveliest vintage charms I’ve ever seen: minute, sterling, filligree scissors that are articulated so that they move. What’s more they’re around seventy years old. Vintage pixie scissors.
By chance I was commissioned to make a tiny silver cotton reel to be delivered today. They’re tricky to make and can easily turn out rather ungainly but this morning, thank goodness, all worked out well.
I saw a tiny silver marriage made in heaven so I made an extra silver cotton reel and raided the vintage mother of pearl button stash.
The result is a sewing necklace and it’s in my etsy shop.
Speaking of which, whilst the Mr and I were staying in our tiny cottage on Monday my little gumball necklace made it to the front page of etsy!
Dances were danced, let me tell you.
That’s what’s going on in my Creative Space. See more inspirational makes here.
Edited to add: I’m still quite new to making treasuries but I picked some beautiful making kit from the pages of etsy to make a treasury– do pop over to have a peep – all feedback is very welcome.
I love your sewing necklace, so tiny & sweet!
Congratulations on your Etsy feature ; )
Oh, this is so beautiful! If only it was close to my birthday….. or if only I had some spare cash 🙁

Your necklace is beautiful, but I am really really jealous of your charming bolthole!
And I told you that necklace was special.
Very pretty necklacex
Wonderful! i continue to marvel at your creations…this is so sweet
So sweet – a perfect gift for many of us I'm sure.
Great news on the Etsy front page – I made it too (so over excited!), how did you get the mini page on your blog? I tried to find out how and failed – would appreciate a few tips!
Congratulations on your Etsy feature. And that sewing necklace — {Swooooon} — those little scissors are adorable!!!
Beautiful Emma and the little cotton reel is so cute. 🙂

Your necklace is wonderful, a perfect combination of charms.
Oh wow! That is such a pretty necklace-you are so talented, and it is such a joy to see your makes.
The Buttery looks a real bolthole. What a find.
I have not heard of 'treasuries', don't check out Etsy much. So now I've a whole new world to explore!

Such a beautiful necklace! Love the tiny cotton reel, button and scissors 🙂
Those scissors were obviously made for some REALLY upmarket Sylvanians
Oh my, that is just so sweet and precious! I've not heard of treasuries before, but I kind of get what's happening there … it all hangs together really well visually.
Charming – well done!
As well dances should be danced. Congratulations! The sewing necklace is adorable and beautiful. Enjoy your weekend, filled with many happy dances.
Such a sweet tiny necklace..very clever of you.
The sewing necklace is charming – it's so exciting when lucky finds just fall right to create something special.
