La Vita e Dolce

One of the things I love doing is customizing or revamping items that either I had for a long while without wearing or have picked up in a charity shop. I love bargains and these sandals have been one of my recent and great find. When I saw the plain metal strap; the ideas started to stir my mind quickly. I couldn't resist add some more colour, style and detail to the plain straps so I dig out my selection of cube crystals, faceted beads and seed beads in bronze/warm hues of brown. I embellished both straps by wrapping gold plated wire and my chosen beads all around. I'm so pleased with the result and now the sandals have that designer and luxury touch too.

Una de las cosas que me encanta hacer es personalizar y arreglar articulos que o bien haya tenido por largo tiempo sin usar o haya adquirido en una tienda de caridad. Me encantan las gangas y estas sandalias han sido unas de mis mas recientes y geniales descubrimientos. Cuando vi la tira simple de metal; las ideas revolotearon en mi mente rapidamente. No puede resistir el ponerles un poco de color, estilo y detalle a las tiras simples asi que desenterré mi selección de cubos de cristal, cuentas con facetas y mostacillas en tonos calidos de marrón y bronce. Decoré ambas tiras al amarrar alambre dorado con las cuentas seleccionadas. Estoy tan satisfecha con el resultado y ahora las sandalias tienen ese toque de lujosidad y de diseñador también.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un gran fin de semana!

Recuerdos en Blue & Copper

Keeping my loved ones close to heart - Manteniendo a mis seres queridos cerca del corazon

With one of my favourite blouses - The Sea Treasure are also a great match for this necklace.

Con una de mis blusas favoritas - Los aretes Sea Treasure Tesoro Marino tambien van a juego con este collar

A long necklace with history. This necklace has a little bit of something...the big glass heart pendant came from The British Heart Foundation; the charity I volunteer for since last year. The copper lockets came from a recycled bracelet - I added some tiny pictures from my gorgeous husbby and my beloved cat Hot Paws. The chain was also recycled from another necklace. The teal faceted beads were part of a magazine prize. Finally the crystals, copper head pins, jump rings and beads caps came from my bead stash

Un collar largo con historia. Este collar tiene de todo un poco...el pendiente de vidrio en forma de corazon vino de The British Heart Foundation; la tienda de caridad en la cual soy voluntaria desde el año pasado. Los relicarios de cobre provinieron de un pulsera reciclada - Les puse unas fotos chiquititas de my maravilloso esposo y mi amada gata Hot Paws. La cadena tambien fue reciclada de otro collar. Las cuentas con facetas en color "teal" fueron parte de un premio que recibi de una revista. Finalmente los cristales, las agujas de cobre, anillas y bonetes de las cuentas provinieron de mi coleccion de cuentas.
Gracias por visitarme y que tengan un fin de semana genial!
