misosouper, a shopping blog

Last weekend was the Bazaar Bizarre craft fair in San Francisco. There was a ton of crafty goodness to browse, and I knocked a few more names off of my holiday gift-list. Mother-in-law? Check. Sister-in-law? Check. And for myself? Um, check, check, check. I couldn’t help it. The lovely up-cycled jewelry by Cara Lyndon was my downfall. Tell me you could resist this gold necklace with vintage brass lockets? I bet you can’t.

This year I will…

“read the classics, conquer the souffle, learn to cha-cha, take up the trumpet, fall head over heels”

What a wonderfully inspiring and whimsical little bangle to kick off the new year! I’m ordering this right now for my best friend.

I want to bring a little piece of my summer vacation home with this limpet ring by Kirsten Muenster. All of her jewelry is created from recycled precious metals and ethically-sourced stones. Beautiful and guilt-free.

Now, I love sparkly jewelry as much as the next girl, but there are some occasions when something a little more heavy metal is appropriate. This brass drop-chain necklace will dress things up without even denting the wallet. That’s classy.

Anatomically correct jewelry is so much fun.  String this handmade glass bead simply on a leather cord.
