$18.00
So we recently lived on a farm. The previous owner had a shooting range "out back". Needless to say, there were all these bullet casings littering the ground. What should a crafty gal who loves to recycle do?

Make 'em into necklaces of course!

The necklaces above are examples of what I can do with the bullet casings. If you are interested in one, please let me know what color you would like the center to be and I will make sure I have the available materials. Since I use salvaged chain, the links may differ from those picture above. Remember, the above photo is an example of what I can do, you might not receive the exact one pictured above. Also, please specify what length you would like the chain to be.

Since this is a custom order, please convo me before ordering and making any payment so we can discuss your custom design to make sure it is something I am able to do. Thanks!

measurements, when lying flat:
bust: 14 inches
waist: 10 inches

it does have some stretch to it but it was too tight on the model in the chest and waist,who's measurements are 34B/26/37, for comparison purposes.

Gorgeous Black Victorian Jacket

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 22:00:58 -0400

$86.00
So amazing, with jet beading detail, a built in boned corset, and poof sleeves, this jacket is to die for. Speaking of dying, it could very well be a mourning jacket!

In good and wearable condition with a few minor blemishes here and there, as would be expected with something over 100 years old! The worst noticeable area is on the back, near the center right bottom. As you can tell, it's a bit worn there. There are also some beads missing but since they're in a clustered pattern, it's hard to tell. There appears to have been some repair work done under the right arm at some point which is also hidden very well. The seams are intact and the lining doesn't have any issues.

There are 2 sets of hook and eye closures. The first is part of the inner lining and basically serves the purpose of a modern day push up (or in) bra. The second set of closures is to close the jacket. All hooks and eyes are intact and quite secure, although down the road you may have to add a stitch here and there if you wear it a lot.

The material is heavy but not itchy.

This is a very small jacket. Would fit an XS best.

Measurements when lying flat:
bust: 15 inches
waist: 13 inches
length: 18 inches to point in center
arm length: 15 inches
shoulders: 11 inches

For comparison purposes, it is pictured on a 5'6 34B/26/37 model. Couldn't hook the inner lining at all, although the outer lining could be hooked but was still too tight.
