Today I decided to go to my local fair, today was the day of old things like used clothes, antiques and furniture. I went there with the purpose of find things i could use to my crafts and today, things to add to my jewellery collection.

I bought four old coins, one that was made in my year of birth ( the one with hole and hearts).
I bought two old keys to use has pendents.
And three new rings with the tags still on....

The costs were:
Keys:  25 cent a piece
Rings: 1.5€ a piece
Coins: 50 cent a piece.

So.... for only 7€ i got three rings and 6 beautiful pendents. The coins have yet to get a hole, when i do it, i will show how do they look, and tell you how hard was to do it.

So i think i will keep doing things like this, reusing materials that are really cheap, and really... how has something like this?

So, lesson learnt when i want new jewellery I will go to my local fair first.

Tip of the day: When I got the coins they were really dirty and black, so the man that sold them said i could clean them with mustard, and it works!!!! So if you buy something like coins or keys like this, if you want to polish tem a bit, just do that, rub a bit of mustard with an old tooth brush and than water.
