old is the new "new"

So, I have totally been in the mood to make things lately.  I haven't done as much as I could hope, but I've been working on a few fun things.  My grandma gave me a bunch of antique brooches and old clip on earrings.  I decided it might be fun to think of new ways to wear her old jewelry.  I've been wanting to make headbands and hairpieces, but I also thought I would try a couple of necklaces.  These are just a couple of my first creations.  It is fun wearing something that my grandma once wore.  I heart her!!
