NOT SO EASY DOING WHAT YOU LOVE

Don't get me wrong, I love what I do but it is hard work. I am the buyer, the seller, book keeper, inventory stock girl, clothing cleaner, stain remover and ironer, photographer, photo editor, researcher, writer, item lister, packer and shipper, blogger, and most importantly, the social network marketing manager. Being a marketing manager means 15 social networking sites with every item posted. It is a handful. I need an assistant but first I need some money. Yes, that is right. More money. But I am getting there and then I get to take my 1 hour drive to where the real thrift stores are, in New Mexico. But, I have no one to tell me what to do or when to do it. My ADD can suck it. I am going to making this work. Ahhh, blog writing therapy! It works!

BY ELANA FISHMAN

Online vintage retailer Market Publique carries an impressive collection of antique dresses, accessories and even lingerie. Now, in their first-ever foray into original jewelry design, the site has partnered with bauble supply shop Brooklyn Charm on a special line of bracelets and pendants.

With open access to Brooklyn Charm's expansive array of vintage charms and dead stock materials, the team at Market Publique was able to incorporate everything from meteorite fragments to antique beads into the earthy designs. Add that to the line's low price point—nothing's over $100—and we can't think of a better excuse to add a few new (old) gems to your jewelry box. Check out some of our favorites from the collab in the slideshow.

Made in England.
