FRIENDO

“friendo – An intimidating word you use when you want to shake down or scare someone who actually isn’t really a friend. Similarly, using the word bucko, buddy, or pal while addressing someone can imply a slight threat to them, given the context. Clint Eastwood was a master in this camp.” – urbandictionary

The only time I’ve heard this word was in high school study hall. The moniter was an old-timey guy who used it when he was really getting ticked, which was often. We got a laugh out of that.

Found this today in 247Magnum’s shop:

Fruit Loops

marbles into pendants

right now i’m working on a design for these vintage marbles. they are going to be sterling silver wire wrapped pendants. i’m thinking of a really long tear drop shape on a super long chain. something sienna miller might wear if she wore colors. look out for those in the next couple of weeks. for now, the shop is pretty well stocked, close to spilling over into a second page, which is my next goal.
check it out here.

Star Baby

“There’s only one star in a Helen Larsen production, that’s Helen Larsen,
and that’s me, baby.” Does anyone recognize this quote? It was in 2 movies.

This necklace that I made recently reminded me of it.

With old-school attitude and glamour on my mind, I was also inspired to dig up this telegram. It was sent to Coe Glade, who was an opera singer in Chicago in the 1940’s. I scored it while working in a vintage store there.

pure sterling

made something out of sterling, leaving the happy trees out of it.
these got listed in my shop tonight.
