Appealing Jewelry Designs & Rebecca Sower

More goodies!  These from Rachel of Appealing Jewelry Designs. Then some new goodies from Rebecca Sower!

Up to all kinds of new tricks as usual, she had discovered the joys of etching into copper and brass for jewelry.  These beautiful and unique pieces are just wonderful.

Not only a new display but kinds of new pieces for fall.

More copper designs -

Now for Rebecca’s goodies!  Check out this amazing infinity scarf – wait….don’t….sold…. There is one more – it is smaller, and in our front display.

I love journals – and Rebecca’s may be my favorite of all time.  Especially her competition notebooks that she has covered.  I <3 them all!!!

So there is a bad photo of the scarf mentioned above, and this beautiful collection of vintage netting – and the fun vintage pep rally shigns.

This pillow – love it.  It is so sweet!  Perfect sweet little touch.  Makes me happy.

See you downtown!

End of the hot stuff

 

Got a bit of a theme going here with this little guy and the HOT STUFF. 

 

Here is the final “new stuff” and we are all caught up – then on to get to know our new vendors!!

 

 

 

First let’s look again at these amazing handmade journals made by Rebecca Sower.  She has brought in a few new goodies for us to enjoy.  Each one special, each one unique. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

New arriver Ideas N Wood – has made this amazing lamp – perfect for so many things – accent table or a romantic feel in the bedroom.  Or a nightlight in the living room – so many  options,

 

 

 

 

 

Made by the Copper Butterfly, every teen will want one of these for their lockers!  Fix your hair, write notes about homework or someone phone number. 

 

And Libby’s Nook n Cranny has been bringing in vintage windows for all you crafters out there!  This one is only $9.  Great price!

Well, that is all the “new hot stuff” for now.  There are so many more goodies to share over the next few days – all our new vendors.

 

Interested in having a booth at ARTIfacts?  You are in luck!  We have separated out a couple of our larger spaces into several smaller spaces, making it so we can fit in more of you extraordinary talented artists, artisans and antique dealers from the Clarksville and surrounding towns.

Still warm?

OK – I am on a roll with the “hot stuff” photos – what do you think about THIS one?

Found this one on eBay!  FUNNY!

 

But anyway, I promised more photos of new stuff today, so here they are!

 

 

 

 

 

Gabriele brought in this really special abstract piece she put together.  I love it – but as with most art that I try to photograph for the website/blog  - I rarely do them justice.  This artwork is better viewed in person.

Reisa Peters is one of our wonderful artists.  Focusing mostly on pastel, she has an amazing gift!  She has treated us all with making greeting cards out of her most popular pieces.  Several that have sold and won’t ever be available but as prints.  So she created these oversized greeting cards – PERFECT!  You don’t even have to mail them – get them for yourself, as mini art for your walls.  OR mail them to your favorite people. (I got one to mail to one of my favorite people in England.  It will remind her of a favorite book of both of ours.  So excited about these cards!)

 

 

 

Rebecca Sower has been busy at work making all kinds of new goodies for her booth here at ARTifacts.  I am so excited to share some of them with you – but you better hurry!  She had a bunch of these fun fabric flowers when she brought them in less than a week ago – and already down to these last few.

Relative Collections has been having fun making all kinds of vintage looking signage.  Here is the lastest. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What else is new?  Well, come back in the morning for a few more photos to piqué your interest!

See you downtown!

Red, White & Blue

The most emotional set of colors in the English language – “Red, White & Blue”.  You hear the words and you FEEL patriotic. 

Hear the words spoken in the wrong order, and you think “that’s not right”.

See them together and you think “America”.  Not many things induce a reaction so strong from so many.  In celebration and recognition of the upcoming Independence Day, I am going to blog those colors!  Today Red, tomorrow white, Monday blue. Finally on Tuesday – things that are all three.

Enjoy! And thanks to Rebecca Sower for sharing the mosaic photo collage creator!  What FUN!

First Thursday ArtWalk–Tomorrow!

Goodies

All kinds of new arrivals to inspire and excite today!

Right before ArtWalk, Reisa Peters, brought in several new mini art canvases.  5x7 art pieces perfect for gift giving and for that little space on your desk that needs a personal touch.  $17 each for these mini works of art!

Rebecca Sower has been at work on her booth again. She actually hopped over to a larger space, which is giving her tons more room to spread out and expand her offerings.  Like these mini ephemera kits.  While she still have the larger kits full of vintage papers for all kinds of mixed media projects, now she has put together these kits that just beg for your attention and creativity!

Maybe you will want to make an altered book like these.  Or if you’d rather, you can just purchase one already ready to go!  Just pick your favorite!

Right next door – Libby’s Nook and Cranny has been hard at work creating extremely affordable necklaces, rings and earrings.  Most from buttons, metal monogram letters and more.  $2 each these are a great present for Easter.

 

See you downtown!

Aprons Galore!

The world is obsessed with aprons right now!  All my favorite blogs have been featuring their favorite aprons.  Showing all the different uses for their different aprons, and how they aren’t just for the kitchen anymore!

With that in mind, I wish to share with you the aprons of ARTifacts Emporium!

Audrey’s Aprons have a traditional flair with the excitement of the new and more popular fabric patterns that are sought after.

Audrey also adds the small touches that remind us that while we are working – we are girls and a flower always makes us free pretty!

 

The next two aprons by Rebecca Sower are also all hand made.  What makes Rebecca’s designs special are the vintage fabrics she includes.  Quilt squares, vintage buttons, ribbon, old tea towels, hankies and more make each of her aprons unique.

While still keeping the feminine feel with the ruffle and vintage lace.

Relative Collections and The Dollhouse also have a great selection of vintage aprons. 

Aprons aren’t just for cooking anymore!  They are for crafting, playing, creating, and more!  You can also wear them just to feel pretty!  That is ok (encouraged really) too!

See you downtown!

New Vendor! Rebecca Sower

Rebecca Sower, I have long admired!  Her blog is full of beautiful creations that excite and calm me at  the same time.  When she finally called and said she was ready to have a booth here at ARTifacts – I was truly GIDDY with excitement. 

She moved in last week, and true to all I had envisioned from this amazing talent, her booth is full of wonderful surprises!Hand made journals made from new and vintage items.  Many embellished with unique images, photos, postcards, vintage lace, buttons, vintage ledger papers and more.

 

My photos of her apron creations didn’t turn out like I wanted, so I took this one from her blog – but it is here in our lil’ shop.

My favorite jewelry is taking old and making it new again.  Rebecca’s jewelry, just another of her creative collection – are made of just that.  Old keys, hotel key tags, vintage charms, pendants, buttons and more make up one of a kind jewelry.

Sweet linen lavender sachets to hang on your door knobs, dresser drawers – kids closets -

Goodies for scrapbooking, mixed media, creation and more!

Cameos for all needs, purposes, creations and reasons!

More goodies for the creative spark – vintage game pieces, steampunk bits and pieces, old poker chips, buttons, soda bottle tops, and….

More goodies for creating!

I hope you make it down today, tomorrow or in the coming week to see what wonderful goodies Rebecca has in her booth for you!
