Old Found Treasures

My friend Jenna loves her collection of vintage costume jewelry, but seldom wears any of these pieces due to their extreme gaudiness. While flipping through her recent copy of W Magazine, she was inspired by a photo shoot of a woman with a bunch of Mardi Gras beads draped around her neck to design this necklace. It was created using seven charm bracelets and six pairs of clip on earrings.

Jenna says, "I never throw anything away. There is always a use for stuff even if you aren't using for it's original intention. I love redecorating my house with new found treasures and it always crosses over into my wardrobe."
