I have been wearing a ton of blues and greys this summer. Seriously, half my summer wardrobe is either grey, dusty blue, white or navy (or some combination of those). But I have found myself short of matching jewelry.
No longer.
I made these... a bauble and button set - bracelet and earrings. I just used a length of chain for the base, a pile of jump rings and a bunch of buttons and findings. And a clasp and ear-wires, of course.
Then I indulged in what might arguably be my favorite part of blogging - setting up some ridiculous scene of inanimate objects and taking four thousand photos of them. All on the macro setting. Because, seriously. What jewelry of yours just spends time hanging out with a pair of wine glasses? Yeah, that's what I thought.
For real. My entire wardrobe right now is in these colors. It's like I just showed you the inside of my closet.
Now I am going to go put them on and maybe I'll take them off in the fall.
Hey! There's still time to enter my QUILT GIVEAWAY (oddly enough, in a remarkably familiar color scheme)... just click on the button below!

Now that you mention it, perhaps it's my jewelry that keeps drinking all the wine...hmmmm.
Hi, Cecily! You did a great job with the jewelry, so pretty. (And I'm not even a jewelry lover!) I love the colors though. If your wardrobe is in those colors, it must be very attractive. And I looked at your other posts below... love the one of the bunnies and your little son????!!! He's getting so big!! And he is certainly a handsome, adorable little man! Have a great rest of the weekend.
Best,
Gloria

Surprise of surprises, I love these!
I definitely noticed the complimentary color schemes between the quilt and the jewelry.
You did a nice job - I have a hard time with the wire part of jewelry.
Beautiful! I have a huge stash of buttons that were my mom's, I think I'll make a bracelet with some of them. Thanks for the inspiration!
Very chic and beachy. Love the blue hues. That will go on my project list. Cheers

Love your jewelry! The colors are so soothing and cool, perfect for summer.
These are sooo fun looking! I just got into jewelry making a few months ago, so I'm always looking for great ideas. I love your use of buttons combined with the beads. Thanks for sharing!

A friend of mine "inherited" tons of buttons she didn't know what to do with. She is also an avid jewelry maker, so I am sharing this post with her! Love the bracelet.

Super cute! Love those earrings.
So cute. And you're right, I also take thousands of pics of my projects all "styled and propped". Too funny.

Without a doubt, you did a fantastic job on your bracelet and earring set. What cracked me up, Cecily, is your description of setting up the photo shoot - so true, so true! It's always fun to set up, I hate putting everything away ;0). Hugs, Kim
