I'm enthralled with Enthral. I haven't previously featured other Etsy artists on this blog, although I have a list of favorites on Etsy that's over 30 pages long (I have very varied tastes and like a lot of stuff!).

But today I saw this necklace that Enthral had made from an old earring. It's the coolest use of something that might have otherwise wound up in the trash! I love being able to recycle and reuse things, and I'm always astounded at the creativity of people who come up with ideas that give something old a new life.

So you wanna see the necklace? Check it out, along with the process used to make it, here: http://enthral-enthral.blogspot.com/2007/05/buy-recycled-jewelry.html

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! It's officially 2007. I managed to stay up until midnight, primarily because I'm reading a good book and I was totally engrossed in it (it's Promise Me by Harlan Coben). I'm still not finished with the book, but I'm sure I'll finish it today.

I just made a bunch of little envelopes with cards, using an old (1971) atlas of the United States for the envelopes. They're the coolest little things. I've listed one set on Etsy and have a few more sets when those are gone.

I also have some new ideas for glass magnets, so it's going to be a busy day today and probably a bit smelly. That adhesive is stinky. I'm trying out some new stuff today, so maybe it will be less smelly.

Off to create some fun stuff!
