New Listings for April 5th!

It's been a busy, but great, week (more on why it's been so busy in another post). Because of this only one new jewelry box has been listed in HDV this week. The good news, it's a really adorable jewelry box.  The colors are subtle yet cheery and fun.  The inside reveals a ton of storage space. Check it out for yourself...

 

Sneak Peek on March 29th Listings

I'll keep this short and sweet....

Here are a few pictures of two refurbished jewelry boxes that will be listed, on HDV, on the 29th of March.  Depending on my schedule, one or two others (obviously not shown in this post) will hopefully be listed on the 29th as well - but no promises.

Btw... both of these boxes are musical boxes.  The pink princess jewelry box plays The Carpenters "Close to You" and the Yellow Chevron plays a popular 70's song but for the life of me I don't know what it is, sorry.

Welcome to My Crazy Life

The few pictures in this blog were not taken from my workbench as usual but instead from my kitchen island. That's the beauty of what I do....I get do something I love, grow my business, and play with my kids all at the same time.  

After snapping a few pictures of my partly finished jewelry boxes,  I realized the craziness that surrounds me is somewhat comical and maybe worth sharing. For example, while I was distracted snapping the jewelry box shown below,  Murphy (our Great Dane) snuck into the garbage. I caught the evidence on film. 

Want another example of my crazy yet comical life? No?, Too bad. You're getting one anyway.  I fed the kids a snack then, thinking they were content with their popcorn, I focus on continuing to refurbish my jewelry boxes. While I'm doing this the kids decide to be puppies. Based on this pic, its obvious I  expect nothing but the best of etiquette from my kids.

As if eating their popcorn off the floor like a puppy wasn't enough, my daughter then decided to take a ride on our shop vac.

And this is what a typical day is like in my home. I'm a lucky lady. 

The jewelry boxes shown in this post will be listed on HDV the afternoon of Friday, March 23rd.

Before and After for March 15th Listings

Last week I traveled the south metro in search of more vintage jewelry boxes.  In the end I came home with eight jewelry boxes (some not pictured below).  I immediately began the long process of updating each and every one. Last Thursday, the 15th of March, I listed a few of the finished materpieces on Happy Day Vintage.  It's always fun to see the before and after so here's a couple pics to give you a taste of the transformation:

This adorable girl is Sydney. For Syd's 8th Birthday she was given one of my refurbished jewelry boxes. Sydney loves her jewelry box and, according to her mom, couldn't wait to get home and organize it.

3 down and 3 to go

Tuesday night I listed six new jewelry boxes. Thus far three have sold but there are still three remaining. In the mean time I am busy creating new jewelry boxes to be listed this Wednesday, February 15th.

Here's what has sold thus far:

 

The above is one of my favorites.  A mom bought this jewelry box for her 8 year old daughter.

 This blue and white polka dot jewelry box found a home in Wyoming.

 

Finally the bright number above sold and will be given as a birthday gift for a 9 year old girl. 

As mentioned there are still three jewelry boxes available from this week (see pic below) and more to be listed on Wednesday, February 15th.

All My Little Ladies!

As of late, the little ladies of the world have been my best customers. Girls from the ages of newborn (a great gift idea for a baby shower) to teens have been wanting, getting and coveting the HDV refurbished jewelery boxes. 

Many girls use the their boxes to store jewelry while others (such as my daughter) use the jewelry box to store every tiny little treasure she can shove in it.  Still others use their jewelry box to organize American Girl doll accessories. 

Here are a few (and by "a few" I mean a ton)  examples of the recent jewelry boxes I've created for our younger generation....

Spring Inspired Creations

The holidays have been crazy busy, and I've loved every minute of it.  Over the holidays I had the opportunity to create custom jewelry boxes of all kinds... for wives, babies first Christmas, kids, tweens, teens, and sisters. It's been an amazing season. 

Now that the holiday of custom jewelry boxes is over I have had a chance to create some of my own designs. Here's a taste of what's going on in my workshop....

 There's a lot more of these fun, bright, spring inspired jewelry boxes in the works.  I have yet to list these refurbished creations so feel free to contact me (see contact tab of blog) if you have any questions.

A Sweet Birthday Gift for a Sweet Girl

This past weekend my daughters friend, Megan, celebrated her 9th birthday. Megan is a sweet girl who spends a lot of time playing at our house. Carly (my daughter) and Megan often wander into my work room eager to help create jewelry boxes. Megan has even picked out her favorite papers and asked me, on numerous occasions, if I would one day make her a jewelry box. 

When my daughter was invited to Megan's birthday the obvious gift was a custom jewelry box. I incorporated her favorite papers and colors. The result was a jewelry box fit for a princess.
