The earrings have arrived, and they are lovely. Many thanks for an excellent transaction.

I ordered these because I loved the shape but wasn't completely sure about the colour. For orange earrings they're actually very elegant.
About
Curiouser and curiouser....
Nouveau Motley is a one (wo)man show that consists of me; Rachael Victoria Adams of Caspar, California. Endlessly tinkering in a drafty 1940's gas station turned art gallery, I have a passion for the past and love the present.
I have formal education in Fine Art and Anthropology (I was a perpetual student with many interests). Arts and crafts have always been a passion and I am constantly learning and utilizing new techniques and areas of the field.
I enjoy creating art and collecting/reselling antique and vintage items that have a function. If you can use or wear it, its not clutter. At least thats what I tell myself…
