Handmade Love - The Bailout Boutique


I just stumbled across a new etsy shop, that pokes (literally) a bit of fun at the recent global economic climate. Fun and funky rings and earrings that make use of what the shop owner already had ;)

With adorable (and affordable) things like "Congressional Promise Ring" and "C.E.O. Stud Earrings" the Bailout Boutique will have you smiling despite all the doom and gloom.

The Answer is stamped onto 1/2 inch discs of hand cut copper sheet. The Answer is oxidized, and the sterling silver ear wires are oxidized to match. The discs are then sanded and buffed for a brushed texture.

Each pair is hand cut, stamped and sanded; so allow for slight variances.

Tomato Blossoms

I made these the day of our first official snowfall here in Northern WI.

I hadn't yet harvested all my tomatoes, of course. In my sorrow over all the lost tomatoes, I made these little earrings, which remind me of the way those poor little plants looked, sprinkled with sparking snow and frozen solid in bright green and deep orange.

Glass beads in pearly green, topped with tomato colored plastic roses, and wrapped up in handmade by me fine silver headpins.

Hung from handmade by me sterling silver french wires, the dangles measure .75 inch/1.91 CM.

Pure Earrings


Brass finished steel retaining rings, hung from handmade by me oxidized sterling silver french wires.

A simpler version of the "Re....tension" earrings, spiced up a bit by the surprisingly hard to find brass finish rings. These rings have a bit of a shimmery iridescence to them. So pretty!

The rings have a bronzy tone, complimented beautifully by the deep cocoa brown sterling ear wires.
