To Plant a Garden is to Believe in Tomorrow

Audrey Hepburn got it right when she said 

"to plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow".

Inspired Vintage Valentine's

Taking a cue from the past, we created these Valentine's spoons based on the sayings found on vintage Valentine's cards.

Simplicity

One of our goals for 2014 is to blog more often while keeping posts short and sweet.

This favourite quote of Liz's is the perfect inspiration.

Happy New Year

A very Happy New Year to you all!

Thank you to everyone who has supported us over the last year. We are very grateful.

Now we are gearing up in preparation for our contribution to

Project Bloom here in Delta, BC. 

We will tell you more about that at a later date!

Also taking time to make plans and goals for 2014.

What are some of your goals?

Charmed

If you are familiar with ...and then again,

you have seen that we like get creative

with the ways in which we re-envision

silverware. 

One way in which we revive silverware pieces 

that are not fit for eating with,

is by making pendants and charms.

More Arm Candy

 Just in time for the holiday party season

 are our newest silverware bracelets. 

These beautiful baubles are available 

with Swarovski pearls in either a dark grey 

or a cream for $52. 

Gorgeous with that little black dress.

For a fun, layered look, 

we have also made hematite 

and cream pearl bracelets. 

They both include a Swarovski pavé 

bead for extra sparkle at $22.

Thanks for stopping by!

Yuletensils

Well, it has been a while since we last posted. 

We apologize for our absence but promise it has been worth the wait.

We are so pleased to say that you can now purchase '...and then again' products at Barefoot Contessa. Headed there very soon are our Christmas items seen in the photos below.

Our hanging bud vase reinterpreted as a Christmas ornament. 

Charming heritage souvenir spoons. Amazing detail on each one.

Reworked flatware handles hanging from black satin ribbon now resemble icicles.

Large teardrop, vintage chandelier crystals with a little embellishment.

 Perfect for your tree, we also wanted to show that these ornaments can be used in other ways as well. 

 Create a one of a kind heirloom wreath.

Gift beautiful presents.  

So precious, the recipient will want to admire it before they unwrap it.

We had so much fun putting together our little photo shoot and hope it inspired you to add a little bit of vintage, handmade and local to your Christmas.
