I want to take a second to introduce you to a cute currently local find that is going to end up on the finger of one lucky reader. Lulu’s Vintage is run by two fun military spouses. They take vintage finds and repurpose them. For instance, this ring was once a clip on earring. They always have something new to add to their etsy store, also due to the traveling nature of their careers you never know where they will be and what is going to pop up next on their site.

Please take a look at their site, and let me know your favorite piece(s). Personally, I love the vintage pearl & turquoise ring. They also have a couple of great bow ties on the site now too.

How To Enter

1. Visit Lulu’s Vintage, and leave me the name or link of your favorite piece.

2. Follow NGF via Bloglovin, GFC, Twitter, or Facebook for an extra entry.

Just leave a separate comment for both entries. Include your email address in your comment form, so I can contact you if you win. This giveaway is open to U.S. residents only.

For this week’s What They Wore I’m still doing something different. The last month or so, I have been seeing a lot of really simple DIY projects go through my reader. I thought, it would be fun to highlight some of the DIY’s that jumped out at me. Hopefully, you enjoy them as much as I did, and maybe you even find one or two that you make yourself.

Abby from, The Closet Files, did a simple and inexpensive ($4) DIY peacock earring post.

Meggy, of Chasing Davies, made a super simple DIY rope necklace that makes a great statement piece. You could make it in any color too.DIY rope necklace

Katy, of ModlyChic, gathered up her siblings and a few supplies to make some fun and quiet clay bangles.

If you have a DIY post that you would like to share please link up below. I could use the extra inspiration, and would LOVE to see what you’ve been up to.

I found Miss Ky’s Couture at the Haymarket Farmer’s Market in my area. When I passed by the booth, I saw a few different pieces that I liked. It was the charm necklaces that caught my eye originally.

Then I saw the earrings she made. I really like how simple some of them are without looking boring. I believe that all of her earrings are made from sterling silver.

Kylee also makes personalized silver tag style necklaces. I also found a handful of other really cute pieces that were a bit on the fun side. Brightly colored coiled rings, or button embellished rings in a variety of sizes, colors, and shapes. Or, if you prefer the more sophisticated pieces she has oodles of pearl and silver items. I wanted to get several different colored pearl necklaces.

However, what I ended up walking away with is three of her bottle cap charms. Why did I get them? I wanted to make a creative mother’s necklace. My one of a kind necklace includes a charm that has a letter representing each of my children, and one with an “!” for the baby I never got to meet.

A few things that I like about these specific pieces is that the charms may rub up against each other, but they haven’t gotten scratched up at all. Also, I can switch them up to a variety of different chain styles and lengths. I love the number of choices that this gives me. I’ve gotten lots of compliments on how cute the necklace is, and how wonderful the mother’s necklace idea is.

I’ve got nothing but good things to say about Kylee and her jewelry. She was very pleasant to talk to despite how blazing hot out it was, or how busy the market was. I know that I will be going back to her booth soon, and can’t wait to show you what I get next!

OK, OK, OK, this isn’t much of a how to post. However, I am going to show you I used earrings that caused me problems with regular wear.
I decided to pin these earrings on my cardigan, and it added I nice bit of flair. Also, I don’t have any brooches or pins that are seasonally appropriate. What do you think? I liked it, and since I was heading to work right after dance this was a nice way “jazz” up the leotard I was wearing as a tank.
