Vintage girl scout memorabilia, part 1
I purchased an elderly woman's Girls Scout memorabilia in an online auction. When my package arrived it included a sweet note about her troupe in Indiana and how she treasures the memories her keepsakes evoke, so I feel an obligation to do right by her. Here is the first necklace made from a Brownie barrette. "On my honor, I will do my best." More to come...
A Crackerjack stork...
Years ago my mother told me that CrackerJack toy prizes used to be metal. I was so excited when I found this stork that I ripped into the package and rather than opening the little ziplock bag it was in, I poked its head through the plastic to save time? I broke its tiny little neck! I decided I would talk to myself like I would to one of my children. "Let's see if we can find you another one." Thankfully the vendor had one. Not only that, she told me about using scissors to cut open a bag that contained a new necklace she had purchased and ended up cutting it in half. (Maybe she should have tried poking it through the plastic.) In an act of generous solidarity, she didn't charge me shipping for the replacement. I made it into this necklace that features a palladium foil wrapped tablet of mint glass.
Thursday and Friday night outdoor events!
Getting ready for two events, Light up College Park on Thursday night from 5-9pm and First Friday Art Stroll in Baldwin Park this Friday from 5-9. Here's what I've come up with using vintage suitcases. Now to figure out lighting!
Cracker jack!
Had to share this find! Old cracker jack prizes on a bracelet... I see a necklace.
Zuzu world shopper and Miche purse enthusiast...
Zuzu took her new demi purse out shopping to get a jump on Black Friday. She wore herself out and needs a nap. She loves her new Miche Kelsi so much that she took it with her to bed.
Miscellany...
If I ever get to street paint again I think I will this yellow purse. Good way to promote my purse passion, don't you think? The image (sorry re. no source for image.)
My friend Susan Meyer is the best source for personalized baby gifts. Not only did she put the baby's name on this porcelain glazed plate, she drew a turtle to match the theme of his nursery. Visit her Esty Shop for lots more! Her work will give you the kind of leap in the heart that comes from talking with children, guaranteed to make you smile.
I do custom work as well. Right now I am incorporating a friend's heirloom pearls into necklaces for her nieces. She lives by the ocean and loves my silver shells made from molds of shells I collected. Sterling chain, freshwater pearl, and a pure silver shells makes a nice dainty for $35. Be sure to visit Dutch Door Antiques and Etoile Boutique. They have both replenish their Dale Wayne Design/ Glass Half-Vintage collections.
Upcoming Dale sightings...
I played MadMen today and put together this little ad for the upcoming Falala event at the Orlando Country Club. Susan Meyer will be helping you with jewelry and I'll be there with purses! Mark your calendars: Wednesday November 6th, 10:30 am-3:00pm. Hope to see you there!
Friends + Laughter= Earrings...
Susan was over yesterday to play in my freshly organized studio. I jokingly picked up a pocket knife I was working into a pendant and held it to my ear. To our surprise it looked sooo fab! I love it when laughter gives birth to creativity, especially when it delivers earrings.
Save the date... happy hour jewelry and purses event at Cork and Olive

Living outside the pencil box...
I love the movement of this long and lovely tassel my friend Susan Meyer designed using my transparent glass discs. My design contribution is the vintage bead cage featuring stacked agate slices. I love the 'out of the box' look. It reminds me of when my Natalie was in Kindergarten. Like me, she likes 'all the colors.' She could never keep all her markers and pencils in her pencil box... my kind of gal. 
bang bang peas...
Getting my peas in a row for this Saturday's Big Bang Bazaar at Maitland Civic Center from 11-6!
Camo ammo diva...
Camouflage is a trend this season. I love this tiny touch of it, especially juxtaposed with the rhinestones. Brings back memories of the movie Private Benjamin.
