{ the bottlecaps }

So, for several months (like 10-14) I have been collecting bottlecaps...beer, soda, whatever I could find. Thank goodness the guys at D'Casa know this and save their bottlecaps for me! Well, after having them pile up hundreds upon hundreds, I decided to create something with them, which was my original intention. I gave this to a friend (who also donated caps) for his birthday. It only took a day and a half to complete. I think it is one of the coolest things I have made!!! Click on the picture to get a closer view.

I made these for a silent auction for a family in need. The blue one is my favorite! What do you think?

{ the necklaces }



This is something new I am trying out. I have a gazillion bottlecaps that mis amigos from D'Casa save for me. I usually get a cup full of them when I go eat there. But since I work with 4 year olds and need G-Rated accessories, I decided to paint them! I am giving one as a gift to an 8 year old for her birthday. I am sporting the 'J' today! More pics of these to come soon. $7

I stole this idea from a lady at the Canton Flea Market! Only because I thought she was overcharging....plus, mine are WAY cuter!!!!! $15
