How Noelle creates these is a mystery to me. Sure, I used to play with candy wrappers too when I was younger. My sisters and I helped my mom braid some juicy fruit wrappers, but all we made was a long line. Noelle uses foil candy wrappers to create eco-friendly and fun accessories. Here are my favourites:




How great are these?! I would LOVE the green one on the top, but my husband will strangle me if I get another bag. :(  Well... if someone gets it for me, technically I didn't get it, right? *chuckle*

Giveaway from Something Old & Something New!!!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED!!

Abbey over at Something Old & Something New is giving away this gorgeous fiddlehead necklace! Now, perhaps some of you haven't tried them, but fiddleheads are - in my opinion - one of the best tasting vegetables out there. If you haven't tried them yet, go get some! This pendant necklace is an elegant and tasteful tribute to the beautiful fiddlehead.


Abbey used an ivory coloured silk dupioni from a recycled formal dress to embroider the fern, and set it in a brass setting.
