My French beaded flowers utilize a wonderful Victorian craft.  These flowers are made with seed beads both vintage and new that have been individually strung and wired.  A Russian method is also incorporated in some of the flowers.  Most flowers steer away from traditional colors and all are unique.  

My interest in the Victorian craft of beaded flowers led to creating vintage and contemporary beaded jewelry designs.  Crystals and vintage beads are my passion and some pieces will be using lampworked beads.  These will be made either by myself or various noted artists.   Most findings are Sterling Silver, Brass or of a Brass/Gold or Silver finish.  

A natural progression to collecting vintage jewelry ensued.  The designs and workmanship of years gone by were impeccable!  You will find a mix of antique jewelry from the  late 1800's to the early 1900's to "newer" pieces of the 1960's being offered.  Please note that most jewelry pieces were previously owned unless stated.  Please also note:  I am NOT a certified jeweler, only an admirer and a newfound collector of vintage jewels. 

The making of herbal potpourris was another Victorian craft indulged by the women of that era.  Lovely sachets and potpourris filled their homes with the fragrances of lavender, rose, and other herbs.  I offer many types of handmade lace and beaded sachets for your home.  Here again, most items are one of a kind. 

I've just added a Jewelry Making Category as well. I have mostly Brass Filigrees but will slowly add other items as they are procured.
