More Vintage Jewelry Finds...

One of my favorite stress relievers is shopping for vintage jewelry. I get such a rush digging and seeing what I can find. It is such a fun feeling to know that you may never find the same thing again, or maybe that is what I tell myself to justify my purchases...lol...Anyways just wanted to share some of my Philly thrift store finds! I'm visiting friends in New York tonight, who knows I may find my way into a thrift store or two!

My Venture through Gloria's Jewelry Box...

As many of you may know, I am OBSESSED with jewelry. Everytime I vist my Grandmom Gloria, I try to see what jewels I can ask/persuade her to give me. I know it's wrong, but she never says no to her 1st granddaughter! Here are some of the jewels she gave me...

Some of my First Jewels...

During a recent visit to my grandmom Gloria's house, I had a treasure hunt through her jewelry. As you may know, my jewelry business is named after her and her LOVE of jewelry. I've been making jewwelry since I was a child and found a few of my early pieces in her jewelry box. As you can see I painted a wood brooch for her with watercolors! Too funny! Here are a few of the pics!

Please Support my Team Gloria's Jewelry Box in the March of Dimes Walk on April 26th!

As many of you may know, prematurity is an issue that is very close to my heart. My son Salim Lee Baines Washington was born 10 weeks premature on June 3rd, 2008. The March of Dimes helps support research and care in the fight against prematurity. Can you make a donation in ANY amount to support my team? Hospital care for NICU babies is very expensive. My son's hospital bills came to more than $300,000 for five weeks of care. Remember that you can donate any amount, no gift is too small! I will donate $3.00 from each sale on my website to the March of Dimes Team. Thank you for your love and support and I will post pictures from the March of Dimes walk!
