Jingle, Jingle Jewelry and Components

I wanted to show off some fun winter jewelry made with art jewelry components and then share a couple of my currently favorite winter components.

This mitten necklace was made with a ceramic mitten by Summers Studio. When I found the mitten in LeAnn's Etsy shop it was strung on a loop of twine and being sold as a Christmas ornament.  However, my jewelry obsessed eyes immediately told me that this could easily be used as a pendant instead.  Have you ever re-purposed something to create a piece of jewelry?


Mitten Necklace - Linda Landig Jewelry




My friend, Janet made this sweet necklace.  The pendant is 2 sided and features a little boy on the back. How cool is that?


Here are some great components from the Art Jewelry Elements Team and other favorites of mine, to get your creative juices flowing!

A Chocolate Christmas

I don't like Christmas pudding. There, I've said it! My confession for the day! So, every Christmas I make an alternative pudding for Christmas Day, and as I'm a chocoholic it just has to be a chocolate pudding! Pinterest is a wonderful source of recipes, and I think I've just about managed narrow the choice for this year's treat to three.....



Anyone fancy coming round to help me decide?

Don't forget to visit this morning's Holiday Open House post to see what offers and discounts there are in our shops this weekend!
