& Collectables ~
I’VE ALWAYS LOVED the Unusual, Eclectic Mixtures of Old Fashioned / Victorian, Vintage, Retro & Country Shabby combined with New Things… Creating that Unique One of a Kind/ Handmade/ Re-Cycled Look. My Mother taught me to sew on an Old Singer Treadle Sewing Machine. My first “Creation” was a Pink Tulle Ballet Costume and some Doll’s Clothes. I value Saving, Restoring/ Re Painting things and like making matching Necklace & Earring sets from old Beads, Crystals, Pearls & Odd Chains /Bronze, Antique Gold or Silver Crosses etc. Having been an avid Op-shopper, Craftswoman and Marketeer at various Art & Craft and Car Boot Markets on the Gold Coast Qld. for many years… (and now not so agile) I thought of bringing my “Market Stall” and the things I am interested in, find, buy and collect… to others via a New Website. (I had an “Arty Angel Jewellery” website on Yahoo’s Geocities in the 1990’s-2000’s)
HERE I CAN SHARE the Unique Handmade Jewellery, Beaded Glass Crystal Hangers / Sun Catchers and other Crafts I make like Gold & Silver frames with Angel Pictures, Tapestry /Velvet Patchwork, Victorian Style Choker Necklaces, “Kid’s Fun” things, Bookmarks, Lace Angel Wings, Wire Earring holders, Interesting New & Pre-Loved Women’s Clothing (including larger sizes) and any Shabby type Collectables I find… if I can part with them, like this Shabby Candelabra from the Re-Cycle Shop!
AS A SPIRITUAL CHRISTIAN I like to focus on making Christian Jewellery for others to wear and enjoy as a Sign of their Faith in Christ… with Beautiful Austrian Crystal and Hand made Lamp work Beads, Crosses, Doves & Angelic themes like Love, Peace, Believing, Caring and Sharing. I like the mix of Ornate, Antique looking Metals especially Bronze and it takes many hours to come up with my Original Arty Angel Designs… or are they New Creations? The Honey Gold acrylic Earrings on my “Model” were taken from a Vintage Bracelet and combined with new Gold Tone Hearts and wires. (she was also “saved” by a Salvation Army shop where I “found” her)
I SOMETIMES ATTEND the Olsen Avenue, Labrador “Dodger’s Market” held on the 2nd Sunday of the month but check with me and the weather first. If you want something from the items I will be listing on this site just email me, harp_peace@yahoo.com.au or leave a message on 0424 263362 and I can bring it for you to pay for and pick up there. I can also do some Jewellery repairs, re-makes/ assemblage work and I sell a small range of old and new beads /fabric /lace remnants etc.
MAY THE ANGELS bless & help you too. Love from Susan. Gold Coast Australia.
I WILL ALSO have on here a page with info and some videos for those interested in the Mystical Christianity of Yeshua, the New Way of Spiritual Life and Love as He taught it, which Restores the Inner Human Soul, Spirit & self worth (rather than the religious systems of outward human thinking, fear, condemnation, guilt and failure) and info/ articles on Healing Harp & other Devotional Music & Sacred Meditation.
PLEASE NOTE: As of mid September 2018, this is a New Website Venture to set up an Online Market for my Handcrafted Jewellery & other Items, there is much to do and I’m waiting on ordered Beads supplies etc. so nothing is listed on here for sale yet. Please be patient and check back in a month or so. God bless
