Chantal Loves Vintage

Hello Strangers :)

Sorry it's been awhile.

Please forgive me?

I'm here to let you all know that I have started a new blog and Etsy shop called Chantal Loves Vintage.  I did this because I didn't want to be tied down to selling and writing about vintage beads and charms only.  I will still be selling them, I will just be selling and chatting about other stuff too. 


I would love to have kept Betty's Place up and running but I couldn't change my headers to remove the beads and charms but.  You guys probably didn't notice that and if you did probably don't think it's worth me worrying about....but it just niggled me.  My hugely talented sister designed the header for me but her computer died and so it was lost forever without being able to change.

I'll stop babbling now, sorry.

I really really hope to see you over at my new blog, I really love it and I hope you love it too. So drop by and say hello.  I promise I'll wave back.

Hey Baby, I'm Back.....Again

Haha, I'm back again my lovelies.  And in my return I bring you a beautiful array of vintage beads.  Today I listed a few in my Etsy shop and i will be listing more over the next few days so make sure you keep checking as there are some beautiful ones to come.

Above are a few of my new listings but there are more to come.  It would be ace if you could pop over to my shop and let me know what you think.

 All of these beautiful beads date from the 1920's up to the 1950's.

I have loads and loads more to list, I just need some sunny weather to come our way so that I can photograph them to show off their gorgeousness......and if nothing else it would be great to have the nice weather as I'm feeling a bit on the chilly side....come on sun!!

Sneaky Peek

Here's a little close up of something I am working on at the moment.

Jump Rings

I've just started jewellery making and am finding it hard to put my trust in jump rings?  Why is this?  Almost every piece of jewellery that I own has them on and other people use them, so why is it that I can't trust them?

I wonder if there is a phobia of jump rings, and what would it be called?

Here are a few photos of my first necklace.  Amazingly it's sold already!

I didn't even get a chance to give it a name :)

Warning - I'm Back!!

I'm on my way back to bloggerland, yay!

I will fill you in on what I've been up to a bit later, but first of all, could I ask all you lovely people who ever grabbed my button if you could re-grab it.  The URL has changed.  I will be everso grateful :)
