A love for all things sparkly

I can't help myself. I love to find treasures at old antique fairs. The 1940s rhinestone brooch with one stone missing, the vintage shoe clips with the huge rhinestone centers, the clip on earring and brooch set... If it sparkles, I love it, and I just have to play with it.

This was a hobby for a long time. I collect vintage costume jewelry, take it apart, and put it back together to make tiaras and hair jewelry. But it's time to let my collection out into the world. Go, little sparklies, go find a bride who will love you as much as I do and make her gorgeous!
