Giving treasured items new life...

A beautiful theme throughout the Bible is that God makes "all things new". Yes, He creates the "new" that is "brand new" but my favorite thing about God is that He loves to take that which is old, worn out, broken, dirty, cracked, and seemingly useless and He makes it new!! He is the renovator and the restorer. How creative it that!

He continually inspires me and the workings of my hands and mind.
Because of that, I thought I would share this opportunity with you..

If you have broken trinkets or worn out treasures lying around that you just can't part with (maybe something of sentimental value) and you would like to give them new life... I'd love to talk with you.

New life...
I enjoy the creative challenge of working with all sorts of "mediums/textures" to make one of a kind, unique  pieces you will love yourself or pass on in your family for years to come.

Examples: 
*broken jewelry/old watches
*antique/heirloom pieces
*old pictures
*awards/ribbons
* sentimental lace
* cards and invitations
* old letters
* newspaper clippings
* military medals/honors
* favorite old neckties
* keepsake handkerchiefs
* and on and on...

You get the idea...
We can turn your priceless treasures into functional jewelry pieces, brooches, shadow boxes, picture frames, trinket boxes, pillows, etc. It's a wonderful chance to"think outside of the box" and have some creative fun!

Here are some examples of what I am talking about: 
Most jewelry pieces begin at $30 and go up from there...

1. This picture shows "parts" from a client's favorite purse. The purse strap broke and she was no longer able to use it...


However after "reworking it" she was able to use it once more...

2. "reworking" a special brooch into a necklace...


3. "reworking" a broken dragonfly pin and special keepsake cross pendant...


4. old family pictures "re purposed"...


The possibilities are endless!!

To encourage...
I also cherish the opportunity to honor someone's life or family in a unique way by personalizing things like centerpieces/bouquets for weddings, funeral sprays, and remembrances of loved ones on anniversaries, birthdays and during holidays.

Here is an example of a remembrance piece:
This funeral spray honored the life of an amazing young man who loved God with his whole heart. In learning about Ben, I heard over and over again how he loved, honored, and preferred others instead of himself. He was a powerful young man of God and a warrior for Jesus. He claimed Daniel 3:16-18 as his life scripture!!

First, I arranged these palms, fresh roses, snow berries, and blue thistles into a 4 foot standing easel and then I personalized and attached this beautiful metal shield with a cross, Ben's name and his scripture reference in the center of the arrangement. The shield could later be removed by his family as a treasured keepsake.


FYI: An arrangement similar to this one runs approx. $150 and up.
My fresh flower arrangements are only available for delivery within the Dallas/Ft.Worth area.
The flowers cannot be shipped but personalized items can.

How can I help create a one of a kind treasure for you or someone you love?? 
I am already accepting orders now for the upcoming Christmas holidays.

Blessings my friends!
Brandy
