New Jewelry Made From Broken China

I've been a busy bee and just last night finished up a brand new batch of 
jewelry made from broken antique china.  I handcraft each piece of jewelry 
from start to finish - each piece starts out as a broken or damaged plate that 
is then transformed into wearable art. The finished result is a beautiful keepsake 
piece of heirloom quality broken china jewelry. Each is a labor of love! 

Check them out!

etsy stocking idea 5....pate de fruit

Macarons are always special but how about these delicious little pate de fruit sweets like those seen in Paris candy shops? Made by California candy maker Nicole Lee Fine Chocolates, they are chewy and bursting with real fruit flavor. Who wouldn't want to find these yummies in their stocking Christmas morning?

Nicole Lee also makes macarons and truffles. Shop here.

etsy stocking idea 3...Ohio made Nordic ornaments

I love the precious Scandinavian styled ornaments made by Ohio needlework artist Cherie Wheeler. Crafted of red embroidery thread cross stitched onto linen, they would be a perfect addition to an old fashioned ornament collection. Aren't they charming?

etsy stocking idea 1...custom stationery

Who loves personalized products? Everyone! Etsy paper sellers make ordering personalized stationery easy. The turnaround is usually within a week! That includes approving a proof. I have bought so many beautiful paper products on Etsy, all unique and customized. This Christmas, I am including them in stockings and giving them to some neighbor friends. 

Sarah Brown of Brown Paper Goods makes these simply designed sturdy cards that are perfect for men and business correspondence. Ordered sets for our boys.



Janet of Fancy Shmancy Notes makes these cards in attractive colors and lots of fonts and a choice of square or rounded edges. This one is for my brother with grey font and envelope, squared edge.

Time to get shopping people! More Etsy ideas to come. We are only doing stockings at Christmas now that there are no more little people in the house. Etsy is the perfect source for almost all of my Christmas shopping.
