Workshop with Linda Kinnaird Jewelry - "Mixed Metals Shadow Box Necklace"

Wow, I just realized that this will be my 100th post! Gee, what took so long!? Anyhoo, on to the real reason for this post!

Presenting another workshop at Cottage Panache for Linda Kinnaird Jewelry!

I am loving this piece, being offered on Saturday, April 16th.

It will be a three hour workshop, from 10:00am - 1:00pm.

Here is Linda's details and notation for this workshop.

Mixed Metals Shadow Box Necklace

Linda Kinnaird Jewelry

This necklace is a mixture of copper and silver metals, vintage keys, chain and crystals along with a little bling and pearls!

First, I'll show you how to hammer your sheet of copper to give a nice texture, form your shadow box, then finish off the edges with copper foil tape. Copper will naturally darken over time, but if you'd like to oxidize/antique your shadow box, you'll be given the opportunity to do that also. Next, as your focal point for your shadow box, you will choose between a silver crown or a vintage piece from a selection that I will provide. After your focal piece is added, we'll add a vintage prism dangle. Next, I'll show you how to wire wrap links, incorporating a vintage key, the chain, crystals and pearls.

The necklace measures approximately 28 inches long!

                                              Tools you will need to bring to the workshop

                                              Chain nose pliers or flat nose pliers

                                              Round nose pliers

                                              Wire nippers/cutters

                                              Small ruler

                                              Sharpie pen

Supplies for the necklace are included in the cost of the workshop.

The cost of this three hour workshop is $60.00 with only 6 seats available for this workshop.

Sign up begins as soon as posted and all seats are to be prepaid to hold your space.

What's Up?! Well, there is so much to tell but I will start with the

Most important details, details, details on... 

The Cottage Panache' Antiques 

Third Anniversary Sale & Spring

Cleaning Flea Market.

We've set the date for Saturday, April 9th, at 10:00 am and will continue outside and inside until my new and returning Junkers, Pickers and Dealers Extrodinare' have sold out or can no longer stand (some probably til 5pm and some a little before!) or the last resort ~ you're not there anymore!!!  :(( sad face!

You won't want to miss all the treasures! Bigger and Better, every year so please don't miss it and if you send me an email, I will add you to my list.

If you have any peeps that your think might be a perfect fit for this sale (maybe you-just sayin!) let me know by giving me a ring at the shoppe or email me! Of course this is not a yard sale or a garage sale, (even though the city permit says sales garage sale!)

so anyhoo, no garage sale stuff for this sale. Oh, no, no, contrare' bon amis,

just treasures and treasures untold ready for re-creation!!!  Everything vintage,(vintage = must have been made before the 80's, retro 70's okay!), including great finds of unique and hard to find parts and pieces 

that you have been searching for, to complete your  Vintage treasures.

  Or pick up a treasure that has already been

reclaimed and refinished 

 with parts and pieces, and married together by the hands of the 

Antiquers, Junkers, Pickers and

Altered Artists Extordinaire!!!

Booth space is the size of a canopy (10 x 10) from side to side (but deeper, if you like)The wee fee of $25.oo will go towards the cost of snacks, and water, etc.  for customers, and peeps extrodinaire! The shoppe will be open, (after all it is myThird Anniversary on Glenview Drive!) so no porta potties for my peeps!

There are only a few more spaces so don't wait too long if you're interested!

Happy Saint Valentine's day!

Check out these felt stitched Valentine Sweetheart pockets! These are vintage and are from Titche Goettinger's store the was Downtown Dallas. They offered these to their shoppers to be filled with jewelry, perfume, or whatever in which you could present your gift forto your lovey on Valentine's Day!

I found the pockets at a local area Estate Sale last year. Also in this picture is the red heart ring box - what a find! The doll has a paper mache head and is vintage, and from (I'm guessing by the felt and sequined netting) the 50's! Found in a resale shop. They had a proud price on her and she was worth every penny. They sold it to me at a discount so that I am able to offer her at a reasonable price for sale here at Cottage Panache!

Here a couple of more colors that were available back in the 50's!

Isn't love grand!

The Windy City here we come!

Www.cottagepanacheantiques.comDue to the weather last week I was only open Monday and Saturday! And now, this week it seems it will be a repeat! Going to the Windy City ~ Chicago with my husband Tuesday and Wednesday! Gee I hope we make it back on Wednesday. Looks like we might have a repeat with some icy roads for Wednesday here in the Lone Star State! I hope I will be missed, but I am sure that I will be back with bells on for Saturday!
