A vintage twist for fall fashion....

 I hit the jackpot recently at an estate sale when I found tons of this gorgeous and charming sheet music, circa 1920-1940.  When I spotted it, the wheels started turning in my mind and I knew that it was the perfect fuel for my creative endeavors!  Here is a glimpse of what I've come up with so far....

Dangle earrings constructed of vintage sheet music, antique brass fittings, and vintage-inspired beads.

Music to my ears...

I had the amazing opportunity to see a live performance by the talented Mr. Edgar Meyer not too long ago.  Awestruck and inspired, I had to let my fingers work a little musical magic as well.  My jazz bass player, constructed of recycled wood, wire, and paper ensures that there's always a little tune in the house!

Wearable endeavors...

I've been dabbling in jewelry making lately which has proven to be a sort of instant gratification outlet for my need to be creative.  Using decorative papers, recycled hardware, and vintage findings, here are a few recent pieces.  These can also be seen in my online shop rustandhue.etsy.com .  Enjoy!

My thrift store find gets a makeover...

With a sturdy frame and gorgeous curves, I decided this old chair could use a new home behind my desk.  With a little sanding, a TON of glossy black paint, and this luxurious Pindler and Pindler fabric, my $17.00 score is ready for the runway! Love, love, love those bargain treasures!
