Necklaces by Cynthia Wutrich

These necklaces use vintage, rare trinkets as charms, including old keychains. 

Celluloid charms from sewing baskets (from the 1920s and later) and French Fry forks (1950s and later)! 

Cynthia's mother's necklace -- "she collected and loved elephants."

Cracker Jack and gum ball machine charms.

Cynthia displayed her handmade necklaces in the artists gallery. Sondra Leeds won a special necklace made for the convention raffle room.

Hoop skirt Doll

From the Make a Hoop Skirt workshop led by David Wolfe and Scott Jorgensen. I had fun embellishing this doll.

2014 Convention

Another wonderful convention has come to a close. I'll post more pictures in the days to come. Here, some sales room classics.

Mamie Models, c. 1950s

Amy by Whitman, 1965

This is the static cling set...no tabs, just rub the dress on the dolly (shiny layer on cardboard)...the cling is still good after nearly 50 years! I had this as a kid. Loved it.

Magic Mary Lou, 1950

Artist: Betty Campbell. Produced by Milton Bradley.
