A sweet little lady gave me her vintage silver that were wedding gifts from a time long ago. Now, I have never met or seen her but what lady who lives in a cold place like Calgary doesn't own a favorite sweater or scarf that could be embellished with a vintage pin made with love from her

special collection of silver.

Thank you Vera,

Quilts and buttons

I sold 4 handcrafted heart shaped buttons to a lovely customer on Etsy. She took the time to send me a photo of her wonderful wall hanging that she encorporated cross stitch and quilting and embellished it with my copper buttons. How pretty.

Whisper

I had the privilege of working with Whisper's tail hair to create this horse hair bracelet. Whisper has now passed.
He was very special to my friend and I wanted to create a special piece to pay tribute to this beautiful animal. As I handled his hair I couldn't help but think of the bond that they must have shared and the emptiness that she must feel without him.
Hopefully when she wears this bracelet she can have some comfort and feel close to him.
Enjoy Lynn,

Donation

There is a fund raiser at our local firehall for a boy with cancer. I created this set for the silent auction.
'Hope'- there is always hope.

Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday to my ' sister from another mother '.

This ring was made from sterling silver, vintage mixed metal, picasso jasper stone, energy, creativity, time and lots of love.

I love the little landscape in this picasso jasper that I couldn't resist. It's all about the sky and sea for this girl. I wanted to incorporate the vintage copper engraved metal and sterling silver which I feel compliments the shades in the cabachon.

A beautiful girl , a beautiful ring.

Happy birthday sweetie,

Love Mixed Metal Mimi xo
