Cool Room Decor and Necklaces

New Necklaces
I found a great use for Apoxie Sculpt clay! 

These metal flowers have been in my box of miscellaneous lovelies for years not knowing what to do with them. I could never get the back completely smooth to work with. That's where the Apoxie Sculpt comes in! Since it can stick anything to anything it is the perfect adhesive to use. 

I like the earthy look of it under the flowers and how it gives them depth. This has been featured in the Jewelry Making Journal.

Cool Room Decor
Jim and I live in an old drafty house! He mentioned we could benefit from draft dodgers (aka door snakes) for a few doors. So off to Etsy I went and found Cool Room Decor.

We went with a plain brown that would work with the decor. The fabric is heavy and feels luxurious!
We bought a massive bag of rice to fill them up. 
Luckily there is two of us, otherwise there would have been rice all over the floor! 

They are available in wide array of colors and prints. Perfect for drafty window too! You choose the length.

This shop also offers pretty pillow covers. I love this print!

  1. Great idea for some draft stoppers, and I'm actually going to thank you for this post. We have a bay window in the dining room and every year we fight over covering it with plastic or not. I say not because I like to fill it with pretties, and I always win the fight. So this year when we fight over the options, I can have some of these ready to go! I can customize them for the size of the window. Thanks!

    Beautiful necklaces too! Love the neutral colors and the decorative accents you used.

  5. Beautiful necklaces! And super chic draft stoppers...love that they come in such an array of colours. Here in the pacific northwest, we have a very dreadful 'wet cold' to contend with. These stoppers would really come in handy!

  8. Filling them with rice. Genius! I was in an Asian market the other day and there were loads and loads of rice bags of 50 lbs each. Perfect for a project such as this one. :-)

  15. Val, these necklaces are really beautiful. So perfect for fall.
    I actually spent part of my weekend, filling draft dodgers with rice! :-)
    It was SO windy here, and it has gotten really cold.

    I hope you have a wonderful week!
