One of my treasures goes for sale! :)

This tint of gray seems to be in Etsy treasuries' trend. Everybody makes treasuries with the gray-bluish pictures. Well, if it helps the exposure... why not? However, if you are interested in real colours... I have them too :) 

This Maple Leaf necklace is made of sterling silver. The front side of the top (the smaller) leaf is gilded with a thick 24k gold leaf with the keum-boo technique. The leaves are double-sided. 

The pendant is for sale at my Etsy shop.

One of the most talented curators of Etsy (Irina Shevchenko) agreed to make a Gift Guide for my blog once a week. This is her first Gift Guide for The Magic Jewellery Box!

Silk drapes by Shripal Tolia

Cannot stop imagining these silk drapes over my windows... My husband likes the blinds only... I will keep drooling... 

DIY - Crocheted Flower Brooch

I published a DIY tutorial from Irina once before. She has more many of them in her fabulous blog, that is in Russian. However, her video tutorials have some helpful text in English too, so an English-speaking handmader can follow them.

I think this flower brooch is fantastic, so I would like to share it with those who can crochet. Just follow this link where you will find the video tutorial for it and enjoy!

I will follow Irina's blog and share more incredible tutorials here!

Pendant lamp by Amichai Oron

My favourite scrollwork was done with a laser to create this lamp out of a sheet of metal. Needless to say that I like it and would not mind to have one or two :)

I wish I had...

Octopus bottles by Stevie

Love the idea! A real bottle from the sea... with an octopus on it! There are many different bottles with many different octopuses in this store :)) I could see a whole shelf I could have with the sea treasures... corals, shells... and one of these bottles :)
