'Blue' 2025 Now Available!
Featured Collection
Blue 2025
'Blue' suits this time of year as we pass through the holidays, entering into the long and final stretch of winter. The brilliant autumn colors have fallen and the bright bouquet of spring colors have yet to make their appearance. I have recently been drawn to so many beautiful pieces that were primarily blue or that had significant blue pattern. So to brighten up the drab of winter, I present the collection 'Blue' offering a spattering of beautiful blues to add some color to your winter world.
Business Note: All pieces are hand made by me in studio and never sourced out. Every
piece is unique in design with its own upcycled flourish. All dishware is
vintage or antique unless noted otherwise on the item description.

Create memory jewelry from those cherished pieces. Don't wear jewelry, or this type of jewelry? Lets work together to create a window ornament, something for your rear view mirror with a crystal adornment, a piece of mosiac wall art, a Christmas ornament or even a set of coasters. And don't stop there..how about a broach, a hair pin, a zipper pull, keychain, the list is endless. The things that bring you joy, that you find beautiful or that hold special memories should be enjoyed and seen.

Made With Love
My name is Tracey. I have always had a love for all things vintage and antique. From architecture to music. I love the clothes, the dapper styles, and I especially love how 'things' were special. Whether it was a cherished piece of jewelry or the china set that adorned the table of every holiday and special occasion. I have been experimenting with art styles, techniques and products since I can remember. Creating makes me happy. I have found a special love for the art of combining soft solder and broken china to make jewelry, ornaments and mosaics. I also get great joy from making silverware jewelry. My true passion is being able to create memory pieces from special pieces of china and silverware sent trustingly to me. Don't let those heirlooms go forgotten in the attic. Bring them to life and honor your memories.
