As Christmas approaches, if you're anything like me, you're busy making lists with the names of loved ones; family, friends, and co-workers and others thinking of gift ideas for them. This does not have to be a daunting task! For the ladies in your life, you can never go wrong with jewelry. Please allow me to introduce you to a lovely Etsy shop:

~ New Fashioned Whispers ~

Whispers of the past made new

Golden Snowflakes ~ Earrings, $24

Taylor ~Necklace, $32

The shop's creator & designer, Melissa, hails from Vancouver, B.C. and creates the most enchanting and self described whimsical jewelry.

Alice's Wedding ~ Necklace, $29

Cinderella ~ Necklace, $46.50

Most of her jewelry incorporates pieces from the past and present which create a timeless treasure that women of every age would covet.

Juliette ~ Necklace, $64

Holly ~ Necklace, $35

I have so many favorite pieces in her collection. The Holly Necklace is one of them, it is just lovely! I have worn this necklace church, work and to dinner with family and have received wonderful compliments. The locket is left empty for the owner to personalize it with their loved ones.

Hush, Hush ~ Necklace, $19

Breaking Up ~ Earrings, $12

Each piece is handcrafted using quality products and beauty. The craftsmanship truly shows in each piece.

Gum Drop Necklace, $68

Sweet Nothings ~ Necklace, $24

3 words that come to mind when I think of New Fashioned Whisper's jewelry are Poetic, Romantic, and Feminine.
