Giveaway #2: Rococo Necklace

I love big, statement necklaces; especially ones that mix old and new! This piece is made from a vintage pin I found, and added a chain and some pearl embellishments to create a new necklace. Definitely a bit on the fancy side, but who doesn’t need to dress things up occasionally?

    Dear Casey,
    Happy birthday! And thank you for sharing your creations and daily outfits with us. I emancipated recently and as a result I don’t get to see my mum as often. But we have decided to join a sewing class together next year in order to reconnect while doing something enjoyable together! And we’ll certainly use your outfits as an inspiration for our creations, as the 50′s look brings my mum so many fond memories… and looks so lovely to me!
    Best regards from Madrid (Spain)!
    PS: Please do consider opening an Etsy store again! Maybe some original creations on demand? Wow, you could do so many things with those magical hands :-)
