Klimbim

Klimbim, a German slang word for useless extra or fuss, is a small label from Berlin featuring unique, handmade jewelry. Here tightrope walkers, cyclists, cowboys, nuns and other motley characters all play a dangerous game dangling on silver chains & neck wires. The characters, such as the Sherrif, are hand-painted & situated upon a silver pendulum that swings freely on a delicate sterling silver chain. The beautiful angel is perfect for watching over the recipient; however, my favorite is the man on a bicycle. (pictured)

Souvenier from Lisa Cook

Souvenier from Lisa Cook features vintage collage packs, trims, and papers perfect for a variety of projects. I love the colorful bits that can be found in the Easter Egg Carton embellishment & trim pack. The bits and pieces include everything from feed sack fabric to a lovely dyed mother of pearl buckle. Lisa posted on her blog that in celebration of Stampington's newest publication, Marie, she is offering a special vintage Marie Antoinette pack. You will also find several beautiful sets of German Victorian embossed die cut scraps, such as the pink & red roses. I especially love the brightly colored butterflies.
