* Colors: black and white
* Materials: fabric, thread, charms (hope, joy, love), grosgrain ribbon, gear, washers

* Due to the length of the necklace, it may be shipped folded or coiled/wrapped in bubble wrap. Thanks for understanding!
* To ensure this item will last, spot cleaning is recommended. Please do not shower, swim or bathe while wearing. Due to handcrafting, no two items are ever alike. Please expect variation in color, stitching and patterns.
* Fabric, vintage buttons and colors speak to me, excite me, and shout of creative possibilities. Even the smallest bits and pieces of exquisite fabrics are cherished and nestled away, where they wait to become an integral part of just the right project.
Hours of love and attention to detail went into this wearable art. This necklace is accented with fibers, stitching, and beads. Hand-stitching as well as machine-stitching were used to put this piece together.
I loved making this necklace and I hope it speaks to you and your individuality. I hope you'll be proud to call it your own. Perhaps this vibrant piece can become one of your favorites.

Pearls & Charms Red Romantic Chic Toile Custom Made Accent Pillow
We've got pearls, charms, toile & lace!!!
This custom-made pillow was handcrafted using a designer toile remnant & beautiful red lace from a vintage piece of lingerie (Perfectform half slip). It has been accented by hand with vintage buttons, faux pearl beads, silver-tone charms, a washer & an embroidered "Engine" patch. I'm working on a similar one with pink lace. I'll load it up when it's complete.
This pillow measures approximately 10" wide & 9 1/2" high.
I really enjoyed creating this pillow & hope you'll consider giving it a new home. This pillow will fit in nicely with any grouping of pillows. Add a touch of elegance to your decor with this custom-made pillow.
This item is currently listed for sale on eBay. However, I love custom orders & enjoy the challenge of creating a special item you'll feel proud to add to your home decor!!!
