It has been a while, but I am back, armed and dangerous with new links to new fabulous products available from generous online retailers who ship to Europe. Especially Europeans who love toast (and really, who doesn't?).
This necklace is the brainchild of Sam Gannaway-Jones, who designs mad jewelry under the name Hoolala. And did I mention it is a locket? And toast??
From her on-line biography:
Sam's work is heavily influenced by the mad, bad Victorians, her grandmother's vintage family album of photographs and her mother's vintage charm bracelet.
"I am fascinated by the idea of the charm; in some cultures they are used to attract luck to the wearer whilst in others they are worn to ward off evil. My work centers around the idea of compulsion and repulsion, the morbid curiousity of the Victorians and my boxes of unusual treasures I have collected since childhood."
Obviously this necklace is a step away from the morbid or repulsive, unless you have a particularly fierce wheat allergy, so I recommend a visit to the Hoolala online shop for a tour of her other fabulous creations. Don't miss the "I heart Jesus" cufflinks. Perhaps I should send a pair to Sarah Palin?
