Jewelry recycled and vintage finds: Alex Keller

Alex Keller is an artist living and creating in Tucson, Arizona.

Her passion is beauty. It encompasses fashion, art and design. In her corner of the world, she has channeled it into making jewelry. Her line, Jewelry Recycled, was inspired at the jewelry counter of a resale shop. It includes antique, vintage and resale jewelry that she has reconstructed into fresh and {new} pieces.


Her addiction is thrifting and antiquing. Vintage by Alex Keller started as a place to sell vintage jewelry. It has grown into a curation of housewares and décor that Alex would want for herself. These items stay with her for a time, are rediscovered, and make their way to new homes.



You can take look at her lovely blog here: http://alexkellerblog.blogspot.com/ and discover her wonderful world!!

in the air

One thing I love is finding images that work together (in my mind) and tell a story, or share some common ground. These two images do just that for me! Beautiful photos...

three males + one blackboard

There were shenanigans galore at our place recently. We had Jason and his two nephews decorate our kitchen blackboard. What took place was a frenzied, fast and furious draw-a-thon! We don't have any children, and try as hard as we may, our chihuahua Kibikibi just isn't into chalk (eating it doesn't count)  so this was a rather special moment! Loved it so much so! I took a photo.  
There were some disagreements between the artists (hence the rubbed out bits) followed by tons of laughter! And all this happened in the blink of an eye... well, a few blinks maybe. Art work by Jake (2) Lochie (12) and Jason (30 something).

In other news... there's been some shopping fun over the last month... this vintage rubbery plastic bear complete with baby blue doll eyes, and eyelids that close with lashes! (amazing) and some classic music sheets... of course, the covers are killer goodness! And how good is the word "Verboten!" it even sounds like it ought to when you say it.

roll on vintage + shoes to love

Some treasures from afar courtesy some special family! These beautiful little ceramic clogs from Holland from Danica (my fathers partner) and these incredible paint rollers courtesy dad. They are part of my family history I guess. These incredible rubber rollers belonged to my grandfather, who was a painter by trade, as well as a shoe maker. These have been in the family for a good 50 years and more. We always had such beautiful walls when I was growing up. Better than wallpaper... outrageous colours of peppermint and baby blue, gold metallic overlay with the rubber rollers... Jason and I are going to use them on our house!
