The best job ever and the coolest friends that I ever had were when I worked at a restaurant called the Heartthrob Cafe. It was in downtown St Paul, Minnesota and was so fun! Today we had a get together to catch up and reminisce. This is one of the many good things about facebook, finding people that you wished you never lost contact with. So, today my post is the buttons that I made for this event. We had 'flair' that was a lot more fun and cool than a restaurant chain that I will not name here. We danced and sang birthday songs. The girls wore poodle skirts and we did all of this while wearing in line skates. We were a crazy family and honestly this was one of the best times in my life. Ahhh...memories. In the time spent there somehow the button machine came into my possession. In honor of our gathering, of course I had to make pins. Here are also two murals that I painted at the restaurant.

It has been a while for a jewelry post and this one wasn't really planned. I decided to stop at the Goodwill and see what they had, it is 1.49 Tuesday! I got a few things to paint, one of them being a long wooden plaque with a heart at the top. As with most things like this I took it apart and started painting. My original plan was to do the plaque and set aside the heart but soon an idea came to me. Digging through my miscellaneous box I came across this empty cord and decided to make the heart into a necklace. After coating it in black the designs were added in gold and cream. Both sides are painted with different designs so it is reversible, two necklaces in one! The heart is really thick so it makes a fun chunky necklace.
