What We Are Current Digging
Vintage Patron Saint Medal Bracelets



Madge was born and raised Catholic. We're talking Catholic schooling and has an Uncle that's a priest--raised Catholic. Not only does she know the Hail Mary by heart, but can tell you that burying a St. Joseph figurine upside down in your yard will sell your house in a more timely fashion. 

Approximately two years ago, she started collecting Patron Saint medals from estate sales, vintage stores, and from friends and family that came across them. 

The result, a unique charm bracelet that she wears practically daily...


"My day seems to go so much better when I know I have the Saints watching my back." - Direct quote from our Gal.

We were recently introduced to these lovely wrist ornaments; handcrafted with semi-precious stones and vintage Holy Medals. And immediately started carrying them in our store. Within two weeks, we were sold out and placed a reorder doubling our original amount!




Madge's love for Holy Medals and the Patron Saint's that are represented have subsequently rubbed off on Jenny. 


Jenny's favorite saint--St. Luke, the Patron Saint of Creativity.


Margaret's favorite saint--St. Expeditus, the Patron Saint of Urgent Causes and Against Procrastination (no joke).

"Pray For Us" in Spanish on the back--so rare.

Stacking bracelets, a very popular trend currently--and with the varying bead and medal sizes, each piece is incredibly versatile and one of a kind. You can wear one or seven. 


No matter what your religion may or may not be, these lovely jeweled ornaments make a great gift for anyone, yourself included!!

What We Are Currently Digging
Findings Jewelry - 'Recycled. Reused. Restyled."

So much enchantment with every little token!


While at the Market, we were able to venture into the "cash and carry" section. Vendors from around the world selling items. We stumbled upon these beauties and fell in love!

There is just something so delightful and alluring about restyled items!!

One in particular...this lovely grey silk rosette necklace, adorned in small glazed shells.


Just in time for Spring/Summer 2012!
It also happens to be the perfect addition to zest up a plain white t-shirt!

Items We Are Totally Digging
New Twists on Classics

The Gals went on their monthly buying trip today. The main focus of the day--watches and bags.

Our new obsession--wrap watches. A great twist on an old classic!




Another great look, a fringe watch.


Such great detail...


Last great find of the day, a mod canary lap top case. Complete with shoulder strap.




By far, the highlight of the day...Jenny's amazing parking skills...


Kudos on fitting "the tank" into the last remaining parking spot--which just happened to be designated for compart cars only!


No words. So impressive.

Phrenology Heads

From 1828 to 2011...making a comeback...
Greek for the word of knowledge. The basis of phrenology is that the form of the head or cranium represents the brain and thus reflects a person's character.

.
Modern day Phrenology Head within the shop.


"Believe deep down in your heart that you're destined to do great things." - Joe Paterno
