Trinket #338 - Vintage Variety Show Necklace

Since I'm nearing the end of the year, I figured I should probably pull out all of the things that have been set aside throughout the project. Tonight, a hatchet charm and a revolver charm that my husband found in the workshop when we moved to our house nine years ago joined  forces with a tiny rubber frog that had been in the bottom of my Junk Box since the dawn of time.

Trinket #241 - Opaline Glass Earrings

Another quick and simple pair of earrings made from random beads and gunmetal head pins. The color of these beads is sort of amber, sort of brown, and they have some strange little depressions on either side that catch the light nicely.

Trinket #238 - Frosted Glass Earrings

Long day, quick trinket. These were two frosty glass beads that I found in the junk box and paired with some gunmetal head pins and ear wires. Simple, but classy.

Trinket #218 - Sponge Coral Earrings

I still haven't managed to replenish my silver stock, but I did succeed in locating some gunmetal headpins and ear hooks in the bottom of the junk box! I paired that salvaged gunmetal with a few chunks of sponge coral to complete these earrings. The idea that a thousand tiny sea organisms once called this trinket home is pretty cool to me, and I don't really care what anyone else thinks. I'm going to wear these tomorrow!
