I’ve never been one for the jewelry in the mainstream jewelry stores. Then again, when have I ever been a mainstream kind if girl? Anyway, the diamond necklaces and pearl earrings were never something I wanted from Max (or anyone else who would think of getting me jewelry) as a gift to take my breath away. And I never really knew what I would want instead of something like that. But I think I’ve finally found it.

I can across Draugsvold Jewelry while scanning my favorite blogs. I LOVE their work. It’s unique and absolutely beautiful. All pieces are hand crafted and one-of-a-kind. Included in their work are vintage pieces, gems, and brass, which some have an intriquite brass stamping method. I just love it!

I just added paper crave as a new link.

this year, i decided to give my grandmothers something extra special. instead of the usual store bought card or flowers i made each of them a pack of stationery. both love writing letters for special occasions, so what better gift than that from someone who loves stationery herself.
