Clip On a New Look

Today I did a little trial and error in my search for unique and helpful ideas for our vintage costume jewelry. I tried a few things, but these are the ideas I liked the best. The first involves a clip on earring. A scarf used as a hatband is usually accomplished by tying the scarf in a knot. To have a less bulky application, criss cross the scarf where it meets and fasten it with a clip on earring. It adds a little sparkle and keeps the scarf lying flat against the hat. This is one of a pair of Coro earrings. I have them for sale on my etsy site www.bettyandbabs.etsy.com

Show Off that Jewelry

This is day #1 of my very first blog. Here is my plan. Vintage costume jewelry is the subject of my latest fascination and I'm about to think through different ways, beside the conventional ones, to use earrings, brooches, necklaces and bracelets so that we can all enjoy our precious treasures more often. Let's get those sparkly rhinestones out of the jewelry box and have some fun.

I'll fool around with this tomorrow and take some photos. Come back and see what I come up with.
