I don’t know what it is, but every time I make jewelry I end up with someting really romantic and cute. It’s the same thing with the one I made the other day.

I made it the same way I made this necklace, only I used wooden beads and sewed a bunch of little flowes on the ends. The biggest flower is not sewed on, but I use a safety pin to attach it and to close the necklace for it to sit right. I will have to do something about the ribbon ends. Shorten them or tie them up.

Yesterday I went to buy fabrics. This store run by and old man is closing so he’s selling out everything with a 75% discount. You can imagine an old store like that; they have lots of fabrics from the 70’s and 80’s. I find it hard to shop for fabrics cause there’s so much to choose from and I never know exactly what to make. This time I decided to take with me some of the ones I like. I’ll probably make use of it some day. Here’s a selection of what I got. I am especially happy with the buttons. I discovered that buttons aren’t cheap, but these were on 80’s prices with the discount on top!

For those of you in Oslo, I don’t remember the address, but it is right across Europris in Sagene. This week is the final week and then it will be gone…
