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!
