New Product!! Multi-functional magnetic boards and bottle cap bling hooks

A couple weeks ago we came up with the idea to expand our bottle cap charm holders into a more functional all purpose magnetic board. Don't worry, we are still making smaller charm holders, we are just giving our buyers more options. Everybody likes options!

To realize our new product dream we had a very important task...SHOPPING!!!!! We headed into downtown Chesterton to Yesterday's Treasures, one of my favorite antique/vintage/resale type shops. They have everything there!! Jo and I were on the hunt for cute vintage fabric to cover the boards and also lace and crochet doilies/table runners/clothes/trim etc. Our trip was a complete success and we left Yesterday's Treasures with lots 'o treasures!

Two days ago we came up with the bottle cap bling hook idea to compliment our new boards. Which meant more shopping. We love shopping just as much as we love custom orders!
So here it is, our first multi functional magnetic board:

It looks a little bare, doesn't it?

Love the vintage crochet across the top!

So what makes these boards so special and functional (besides the fact they are handmade with love and vintage/reused materials)?

Take a look!!!!


The crochet is for hanging earrings, the bottle cap hook holds necklaces, and the board not only holds bottle cap charms but can hold up pictures or notes or anything else!

Close up of the crochet.

Boards will be sold with 2 coordinating bottle cap bling hooks. We can custom make these to various sizes and colors. If you're interested, send us an email to hopiejo@gmail.com. We will also be selling boards at the LaPorte Sunflower Fair on September 18.

Also, for girlies that like headbands but aren't into bows and ribbons, we present the simple, yet stylish, bottle cap bling headband.


This is one of our crotchet headbands with a bottle cap charm magnet attached with an alligator clip.
SO fabulously cute!!!

We have 2 weeks until the LaPorte Sunflower Fair and we have so much to do!!! If you're going to the Sunflower Fair, don't forget to stop by and say hello!
