Upcycled Charm Swap:
Vintage Redoux


Shanna, of Vintage Redoux, sent not one,
but two charms for our Upcycled Charm Swap!

The first is made from little brass bullet casings Shanna found in the desert. She strung a little amber saucer bead through a headpin, added a pretty bead cap and wire wrapped the end to make a charm.

I found the second charm tucked inside the small brown paper bag.
What a fun surprise! 


The second charm is upcycled from a vintage pearl necklace. The tiny pearls hang from a distressed brass jump ring and are joined by a little brass finished leaf. Good things do come in small packages!


I love the way Shanna packaged her charms. 
The small brown paper bag is stamped on the front with her shop name and address, logo and tag line. The back is thoughtfully stamped with her Thanks.

The smaller charm is slipped inside the paper bag. The bullet charm is secured to a length of black tulle that's been wrapped and tied around the paper bag. It's a sweet little present.

Upcycled Charm Swap: Miss Courageous

Upcycled LP Charms by Miss Courageous

Imagine my delight when I opened the package from Miss Courageous and found lots of little LP Charms in a rainbow of colors!


Each charm is cut from a vintage vinyl record.
Who knew they were made in so many super cool colors?!


Miss Courageous has also made little
packaging pouches from her folded business card.
Very clever!


It's not too late to enter our Upcycled Charm Swap
