"I'm sick of Cindrella parts, of wearing rags and tatters. I want to wear smart clothes and play the lover." ~ Mary Pickford (1892-1979) Mary got her wish when she was cast in the leading role of the historical romance movie, "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," which was made in 1924. By the way, the stunt where Dorothy rides her horse up the steps and onto the three-foot wide wall was performed by Mary Pickford herself, after the stuntwoman's horse damaged a leg.

If you take bits and tatters of vintage and well-loved lace, encase them in little soldered glass frames and embellish with creamy, vintage pearls, you are left with dear, nostalgic keepsakes... If you have a cherished china plate, chipped and cracked from years of loyal use, and you just can't bear to throw it away.... put a shiny silver frame around it and suddenly it has new life as an exquisite pendant: And if you have a word that perfectly expresses your attitude toward life, make it sparkle and proclaim it to the world... All of these unbelievably beautiful charms were made by our terrific students in our first "Girly & Glittery" class this past week. I described how they did it in the previous post, below. The next class is this Tuesday, Jan. 26. Download the flyer in the sidebar to the right for more info on how to register!
