I bought these little game pieces and the poultry seasoning can at an antique store last month. I knew right away what I wanted to do with these, but everything else is still waiting in line...
I can't resist little words.
Half of the stinky poultry seasoning was still in this can. Can you imagine?
I screwed some tiny hooks on top, added a touch of bling, and now they're
wacky earrings.
Why not? A couple of tiny hooks, ball chain, and a vintage typewriter key.
I had a hard time getting this shot without my reflection in the puffy heart.
This is the inside of the lid from the poultry seasoning can. I used an ad from a vintage sheet music book, a reproduction brass filigree, old rhinestone necklace, and the woman is from a vintage postcard. The pin on the back of the lid has a bail attached, so it can be worn as a brooch or a necklace.
Ready for spring?
I'm linking up my repurposed junking finds with:

Very pretty - you have been busy! I really like the necklace you made the pendant out of a tin lid. I wish I could say I have accomplished that much. Thanks for sharing the bouquet of flowers. Went to a couple of estate sales yesterday. Not much luck, but did get a couple of things, and will do a post after get pictures taken.
Have a great week!

The jewelry is cute but I looooove what you did with the tin. Looks so very pretty.
Very cute, I wonder what game the word dice are from.

Great use of the word dice! The jewelry pieces are very pretty. I love them all but the heart one is probably my favorite.

Gotta go back and see if you have an Etsy shop and if that typewritter key necklace is there. :)

The jewelry is amazing! I love it! I never think about something like this when I see things at the Thrift store...I'm going to have to open my mind! ♥

Too cute with the game piece earrings! But the tin lid is my fav. I just might have to borrow that idea some day. I think either jewelry or sitting on an easel as decor. Or both!

I am soooo in love with your blog and all the inspirational things you do. I'm your newest follower, come on by and follow me too.

You really got a lot of mileage out of those few pieces, Betsy. As always, I completely love every one of your creations! I could learn so much from you about repurposed jewelry. I only wish we lived closer together, so you could teach me your wondrous ways. ;)
