Silver Spoon Jewelry - read and win

500_HNR_Julia.jpg 500_R_Elaine.jpg

Inspired by her grandmother’s penchant for old English silverware, crafter Jennifer Northup of Silver Spoon Jewelry creates exquisite necklaces, bracelets, watches, and earrings from vintage silverware – particularly pieces with heirloom patterns of the 1800s. I have indeed fallen madly in love with her work – the Julia Necklace and Elaine Ring (see above) – are simply stunning. And hey, Jennifer also makes belt buckles, cufflinks, vases, and business card holders – all are repurposed. Northup is one of many crafters who will be presenting at this year’s Sugarloaf Crafts Festival in Timonium. See my previous post for more details.

As for the giveaway, be the first reader to post the correct response to the following question and you will win two (2) complimentary tickets to the Sugarloaf Crafts Festival.

Question: Name the quiet, countryside inn where Jennifer found endless inspiration as a child.
