This way they can live in my earring frame when I'm not wearing them so they won't get lost! Added bonus: shiny shiny.

Earring-A-Day 27: Keys!
Ok, this was a lazy one, but come on- I was preparing for the hurricane! One of the things I wanted to do (which I didn't actually end up doing) was to put my bike inside so it didn't blow away. The problem: I always lose my bike keys. The lock I bought came with two keys- perfect for earrings:

Earring-A-Day 13: Dart Flights
I love today's earrings so much. But then my ancestry is like half German, so of course I like shiny things.
Do you recognize what they are? Dart flights! Aka the bit on the tail end of a dart.
I'm not much of a darts player, but these great for earrings. Besides the aforementioned shininess, they were soo cheap. I found mine in a clearance bin at Kmart, marked as being 67 cents but rang up for 21. Then it was just a matter of drilling a hole and attaching jump rings and earring hooks.
Here's another pic so you can get a better feel for the shape:

Earring-A-Day 11: Button Chain Earrings
Ooh first post that didn't automatically go up at 9:30am. Slackin' off today. Why? Well between two dead mice (one computer, one my cat caught. ew) it was a little tough to get everything ready before I went to bed last night. That and I was working on bread. Expect that post later this month as the The Bread Project is a few weeks behind meat space. Anyway, onward!
Today's earrings fairly simple. Once again I reached into my bag of church rummage sale buttons, and took out a few that are the same shape but different tones. Buttons + jump ring chain =
I'm not totally in love with these. Originally I'd wanted to hang the buttons vertically, but I thought that might be too similar to last week's Sailor Jerry Earrings, so I went horizontal. The buttons are nice and woody looking, which is a nice contrast to the shiny shiny jump rings, but I'm not completely sold on it. Ah well, maybe I'll revisit this idea later, as there are still sooo many buttons left in that bag.
