NEW Blue Moon Tokens Birdcage $6.99
I fell instantly in love with these oxidixed silver bird cages and couldn't resist snatching some up for the shop. They measure aproximately 35mm in diameter by 50mm tall, including loop, have a precious wee bird insde and would be super fun for any altered art project or jewelry creation (except maybe a ring -- that would be awfully large). I want to rust one and create a broken-vintage-headed doll holding it.

NEW Black and Cream Mixed Media Bundle $12.25
I'm in love with this random bundle and assure you I've kept plenty of these pretties for myself. But this one is for you. Included is one of the glass rings I've been stocking up on for the past few years, a rusty old spigot turn and another weirdo rusty item with a screw in it, bits of lovely lace and ribbon, an antique typewriter key (I'm obsessed with these as you may very well know), buttons, beads, etc. How fabulous this all would look in a book or assemblage!

Secrets of the Sea Mixed Media Bundle $9.95
I've been harassed a bit lately with people asking "why do you create so many of those gorgeous one of a kind bundles only for sewing!?" I don't know why I didn't create many of them before, but here you go! I envision this sweet pile of goodness being made into a secret box with double doors (LOVE the locking piece included and the tattered, coffee-stained lace the most). But of course you can make whatever you wish! (I want to see pictures though if you care to share). see it bundled here

Vintage Buckle and Antique Button Collection $9.95
Era-wise, this is a random bundle. I think the pretty blue buckle is from the 70s (like me!), the metal buttons from the very early 1900s and the cloth covered buttons mostly from the 40s. These will come in a wonky little plastic box, wrapped in a swatch of pretty fabric.

NEW Grandma's Flower Bundle #1 $8.95
I am not generally into super pretty flowery things, but my gramma passed away a couple of weeks ago and I bought tons of gorgeous stuff to make three lovely memory boards for her funeral. Rather than throwing out the left overs, I thought I would add them here to share my gramma's flowers with anyone who was interested pretty cream and white flowers, mini adhesive pearls and organza ribbons. The large flower in the center is quite big -- about the size of the palm of my hand.

Numbered Pocket Watch/Watchmaker Vials
I can't get enough of these numbered pocket watch/watch maker vials! I just love them! These are vintage, though nowhere near as old as the previous lot I posted from the 1800s. If you'd like a specific number, let me know and I'll see if I have it for you, or you can let me chose. Update: all 13s were sold within 15 minutes of posting these, sadly -- that is my favorite number too.

Large Hummingbird Charm $9.95
I am so in love with these little guys! They are larger than they looks though: just shy of 2.25 inches in width (from beak tip to tip of front wing) and 2.25 inches tall. They have a small hole for possible threading on the tip of the front wing as well as a small hook on the back of the right wing and another on the back of the tail. They would look gorgeous on the cover of a book, or as a piece of wonderful hummingbird jewelry, rusted or as is.

These tiny birdcages make perfect pendants on necklaces or wonderfully whimsical additions to your assemblages or other mixed media or altered art projects. The rusty metal birdcage measures 1.5" tall and has an opening door and movable perch.

Woman Cameos $4.00/ea.
I am not sure what these gorgeous Cameo Ladies are made from but they appear to be a resin or plastic of sorts rather than the traditional shell, agate or glass. Regardless of their lack of age, they are wonderfully fun and lovely indeed! These beauties measure 1.5" tall by almost 1.25" wide. Use in or on altered books or art journals, in assemblages or jewelry, or on any mixed media or altered art project for a delightful addition.
