My grandmother's pink jar.
I recently bought a beautiful Fleur de Lis charm from Martha Eason's Menagerie Studio. I discovered her after reading about her work over at Marie Cramp's blog. I was particularly drawn to a piece that strongly featured pink, and it was the perfect match for the crazy lace agate beads I'd been jealously hoarding since summer! I made a necklace, which also includes some pearl chips recycled from my grandmother's vintage jewelry collection. It's funny how things come together that way. Not to mention, the Fleur de Lis is pretty much New Orleans' identity (for those who aren't aware, I live in New Orleans). Plus, my mom (whose mother is the grandmother I always talk about) is named Martha and was born in Dallas - and that's where Martha Eason lives. I love all the little coincidences.

I need one of these!
ReplyDeleteThere is only one! However, it can be yours if you wish. I think I'll have to get a few more Fleur de Lis charms from Martha. Or if you go to her etsy shop I linked above, let me know if you find another one you prefer.
ReplyDeleteThis Necklace is beautiful!!! I love to see the beautiful jewelry that jewelry artist create using my charms. By the way, I am now, following your blog too. :}
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you like it :) I will definitely be ordering more in the near future.
ReplyDeleteI recently bought one of her pieces -- it's not here yet, so I have no concept of size (I've never been one who can read inches and mms and GET it) but I can't wait!
ReplyDeleteI have that exact same problem! I've ordered things thinking they'd be small, but they were huge - and vice versa. Martha's stuff is gorgeous though. You'll love it :)
