Custom Family Heirloom Necklace

I know a gorgeous lady named Tricia who is a huge fan of my work and always makes me smile with her compliments.  I told her that I want to shrink her in and put her my purse, so I can pull her out whenever I'm feeling down.  She just has such a fun personality and way of making you feel special.  So anyway, she recently asked me to rework a piece of jewelry for her.  She had a pendant that has been in her family for a long time, it had been made into a beaded necklace awhile back, but she really wanted a fresh look.  She loved how it turned out so much that she's going to check with her mom to see if there are any more family pieces she can have redone.

STAY TUNED TOMORROW ~ I'm cleaning out my jewelry box and will be giving away some necklaces via the blog to the first person who wants them.  Follow on Twitter for advanced notice of giveaways.

Happy Customer = Happy Me!

There is nothing more nerve racking than selling vintage to another vintage seller.  I'm thinking...I hope it fits, I hope they like it, I hope they think I dated it correctly, etc.  Ok, now that I think about it selling to a celebrity made me slightly more nervous. :) Anyway, when Lauren from Dear Golden Vintage bought this dress I was thrilled, but like I said a little nervous as to how it would work out for her.  She just posted these photos on her blog and I have to say that I think it worked out VERY well.  The dress 1930's vintage, made of rayon crepe fabric, ascot neckline, bias body, it's just beautiful!  Oh, and did you see the back?!!!

Another satisfied customer...

Another wonderful customer just sent these photos of herself wearing a dress from Salvage Life. Nicole Dinardo of Un Amore, custom designs and paints kitchen aid mixers, skateboards, guitars and probably anything else you could imagine. She needed a dress for a retro photo shoot and she found this beautiful yellow chiffon dress from our shop! Thanks for sharing your photos Nicole!
