We are SO excited to have our new gift certificates in hand.  I designed them myself (my first attempt at anything in illustrator), so I am pretty pleased with them.  Gift certificates are available in any amount, OR you can give a gift certificate for a certain item (such as a necklace and earrings set … I will let the giver know the total amount once the piece has been selected … this is a GREAT way to do a custom order).  Contact us at info@baublemarket.com or (434)851-2224 if you would like a gift certificate. We can send them to the giver or the recipient.  The front and the back of the certificate are shown below.

A history of The Bauble Market is included on the back of the gift certificate so that your recipient will know a little more about what we are all about.

Again, just contact us for a gift certificate … perfect for Christmas, birthdays, a bride (imagine giving her the ability to have a custom piece for her wedding!), you can give one just because.

Ok, to say that I am obsessed with vintage beads is definitely an understatement!! I have SO many necklaces that are waiting to be taken apart and reworked into beautiful creations, but I still can not stop scouring antique markets and shops for the lovely pieces.  Here are some of the beads I have, and I will put them to good use soon … some will be hard to part with!!

I absolutely LOVE to travel, and these are some necklaces that I picked up at the Portobello Road market in London, England. I had a GREAT time shopping for beads there!!

These glass jars are filled with beads … both from the Portobello Road market in London and from another outdoor market in Vienna, Austria (my daughter and I froze in Vienna, but I was thrilled with my finds!!).

You will notice a recurring theme here as these beads came from my second trip to London’s Portobello Road, although these came from a shop, not a market, because the market is only on Saturday (of course I had to hit the shops anyway!).

The picture does not do the size of this justice, but this is an enormous pile of vintage necklaces that I just keep buying and buying (and buying). Oh, and these are from the good old United States of America.  I have so many that it will take a little while to get through them all, but I am happy that I have a lot to choose from so that I can do whatever project I am in the mood to do … it allows for creativity for sure!

 Hopefully you enjoyed this sneak peek at my bead stash (I have SO many more), and maybe someday I will do a post on my workspace … where all of the projects happen (or at least where all of the supplies are stored).  Have a wonderful day!!
