Gina Balourdas, worderful jewerly maker joined us at the Barn for the Flea Market style...she says: " My parents are antique dealers so I've been around antiques all of my life. 
I would be taken out of school to go to shows and auctions all over the East Coast. I started being drawn to jewelry about 4 years ago, specially spoons. The patterns and details from pieces that are over 100 years old is just inspiring and why let them sit in a drawer?
Spoons lead to typewriter keys, then the beautiful rhinestone pieces that I use in my belts! Now I look at everything with a different eye and say "what can I make out of this? How would this look on my neck?" It's a true passion"
Thank you Gina for sharing and I am looking forward to see you at the next Sale! Ciao Rita
Welcome Sheila Payne to blog land. She is an amazing girl. I wish I had more picks to show, sorry. She's been a great help at the Barn and some of you know how frustrated I can get behind the counter. Sheila is always there at the right time and knows what to do. Thank you girly, see you at the Farmer's Market this Saturday. Ciao Rita
