Repurposing .... Lesson One

A few weeks ago, a friend and I went visiting antique shops with her husband. I wanted and needed nothing .... but when I saw the vintage jewelry ... at prices less than $5 for a ziploc bag of treasures ... HOW COULD I RESIST ??

I found a gorgeous brooch and one matching earring. The other earring was lost ... hence the $5 bargain.

Not to be dissuaded by this bit of a twist .... I did the next best thing ... REPURPOSE the remaining earring. TaDa !!

Please excuse the off color photos ... the piece is really quite gorgeous.
