SHOP of the WEEK....M. Scenna

Hello to you all!  Last year I introduced you to my friend and teammate: Marjorie Scenna.

Marjorie is a mom, preschool teacher, museum educator and crafter with a long time love for jewelry and vintage treasures.  No one can describe her special artistry as well as she can; so I have"borrowed" a snippet from her.

"My unique, handcrafted jewelry, keychains, home decor, garden accents and gifts begin with recycled vintage treasures from my collection. I'm always on the look out for unusual items, buttons and old costume jewelry to repurpose. I constantly explore yard sales, flea markets, and thrift shops to add to my collection. When I find something, I study it to see what speaks to me. A bead may become part of an earring or bracelet or a broken piece of jewelry might find a new home in an assemblage necklace, sun catcher or ornament. I like to play and move things around until it feels right!

My love of jewelry crafting has become a part of my daily life. My kitchen table, dining room, and backyard have all become part of my shop! I like to keep things available and ready if I feel inspired to work on something.

Selling my creations at craft shows and holiday fairs are a regular part of my process. I love meeting people, watching them try on pieces and hearing their thoughts about my jewelry, ornaments, and other creations. Etsy has a wonderful "upcoming market" feature for finding sellers in their local areas - be sure to check out the top of my shop's home page for that feature throughout the year and during the holiday times.

It takes a lot of spare time to make something, but when you truly enjoy it, it just has a way of happening! I look forward to sharing my beaded jewelry, key chains, home decor and ornaments with you!"

Flower Picture Frame, Button Frame, Green Pink Frame, Button Art, Recycled Jewelry, Photos, Spring Decor, Wedding Shower Gift, Mother's Day

Spring inspired vintage button picture frame in pastel green and pink accented with flowers, a lovely home decor accent. This photo frame is the perfect wedding, bridal shower and Mother's Day gift too! 

Inspired by treasures from my vintage button and jewelry collection, I began this picture frame with a green vintage flower brooch. From there I added bits and pieces of other jewelry and beads, several with floral designs, as well as vintage buttons in pastel and white tones. I layered the buttons and jewelry pieces around the frame, adding in more pieces until it looked just right. Various rhinestones and jewel pieces give the frame a bit of sparkle while keeping with the vintage inspired style.

While all other pieces are recycled, the wood picture frame is new and was painted off white. The buttons and jewelry pieces were glued on using strong craft glue. As this is handmade, please dust gently and do not wash or use spray cleaners. If a bit comes loose, it can be reattached with super glue or a craft glue.

The picture frame measures approximately 6" x 6" square.

Beaded Mobile, Crystal Bead Sun Catcher, Wind Chimes, Hanging Decor, Porch Decor, Gift Idea Women, Recycled Art, Garden Accent, Boho Decor

 Colorful recycled and repurposed beaded mobile sparkles in a rainbow of colors! This Boho style crystal sun catcher is a perfect hanging garden and yard accent or fun window and home decor. A great Mother's Day or garden lover gift idea too!

I created this unique sun catcher with items from my collection of vintage and repurposed treasures. The 14 colorful strands of beads are a fun mix of shapes, sizes, and textures and include a combination of glass, acrylic and ceramic. A charm or linked bead dangles at the bottom of each strand. The beads are strung on wire and attached to a small recycled off-white ceramic candy dish. The candy dish is decorated with red and green holly underneath and is not visible from the outside. The dish is topped with a metal ring and a vintage red crystal earring. Recycled silver metal chain is attached for hanging.

This colorful beaded sun catcher measures approximately 16" from the top of the hook to the end of the longest strand of beads.

Brown Crystal Keychain, Beaded Keychains, Key Rings, Zipper Pull, Gift Idea Women, Amber Topaz Beads, Beaded Handbag Charm, Chunky Key Ring

Crystal beaded keychain sparkles in shades of brown, amber and topaz with silver accents! This chunky beaded key ring is a colorful accent as a beaded handbag charm or zipper pull and great gift idea too!

This sparkling brown beaded key chain features a dangling cluster of recycled acrylic and glass beads in shades of brown that include amber, topaz, and tortoise with accent beads of silver and copper. They are attached to an antique silver finished embellishment. 

The finished combination is a keychain with a sparkling mix of beads in warm shades of brown!

This chunky brown beaded key chain measures approximately 6" long from end to end including flexible silver tone key chain.

Button Picture Frame, Wedding Picture Frame, Recycled Vintage Jewelry, Bridal Shower Gift, Silver Rhinestone Frame, Photo Frame, Home Decor

Sparkling silver and rhinestone picture frame adorned with vintage buttons and jewelry, perfect wedding or bridal shower gift with "something old". A lovely accent for a bedroom and home decor with vintage-inspired style!

Inspired by treasures from my vintage button and jewelry collection, I began this picture frame with a vintage rhinestone bow brooch. From there I added bits and pieces of other jewelry and pearl beads as well as vintage buttons in silver and white tones. I layered the buttons and jewelry pieces around the frame, adding in more pieces until it looked just right. The rhinestone pieces give the frame a bit of sparkle while keeping with the vintage inspired style.

While all other pieces are recycled, the wood picture frame is new and was painted off-white with silver spray glitter added on. The buttons and jewelry pieces were glued on using strong craft glue. As this is handmade, please dust gently and do not wash or use spray cleaners. If a bit comes loose, it can be reattached with super glue or a craft glue.

The picture frame measures approximately 6" x 6" square.

I created this colorful wine cork ornament starting with a brightly colored and repurposed jeweled flower (former clip-on earring) in the center then added a strand of colorful glass beads in blue, red, pink, green and yellow with a yellow teardrop bead at the bottom. The combination is a fun and colorful ornament!

The beads are strung on wire and attached with a gold tone eye hook. It measures approximately 5 1/4" long plus 2" gold tone ornament hook.

Trinket Dish, Gold Ring Dish, Jewelry Holder, Vintage Button Art, Recycled Jewelry Art, Ring Holder, Ceramic Candy Dish, Gift Idea for Women

I began this trinket dish with a vintage oval dish in off white color. The dish is stamped with an Anchor Hocking "Shenango China" logo on the bottom. A collage of vintage buttons, beads, and costume jewelry parts adorn the rim of the dish. They are clustered in alternating patterns which create interesting style and texture. The items are all mounted and glued together with a strong craft glue.

This dish is a one of a kind decorative accent, perfect for holding rings and jewelry, wrapped candy or business cards. This dish measures approximately 7.5 inches by 5 inches.
