I'm Over the Moon!

Dockside Market Place - Saugatuck, MI

       DRUM ROLL PLEASE!
I'm so excited to announce my new vintage line of jewelry that will debut at Mr. Miller's Emporium, located in the Dockside Market along the waterfront in Saugatuck, MI.

Their Grand Opening is this coming Sunday!

My fantastic cousin, Debbie Scofield, linked me up with store owner Linda Hopkins-Laakso just a couple of weeks ago.  Linda was looking for a new jewelry designer and Debbie directed her to my door step.  Thank you Debbie!!!

I have worked non-stop for days creating a new line of vintage jewelry that I have wanted to do for such a long time, in addition to the silver, copper, bronze and fused glass designs that I already do!

I do think I have an old soul from the early 1920's,  I have such a  love for vintage art nouveau jewelry creations from designers like: Alphonse Mucha, Weiss, Eisenberg, and so many of the talented jewelry designers from the early 1900's.

 So, it really comes as no surprise that I would marry my jewelry designs with the old vintage pieces that have lived through the best and worst of times.

While I design with these old jewelry pieces I've collected over the last two years I often wonder about the women who wore them and the type of clothing they once adorned.  I'm sure  many of them were worn at gala events. Oh, the stories they would tell if they could just give up their secrets.

I think part of my love for these old nostalgic pieces comes in part from my appreciation of jewelry that was handed down to me from my mother.  She had a wonderful collection of brooches. I don't think she ever left the house without a fantastic pin attached to her hat or dress.



I try to keep the integrity of the pieces in tact whenever possible, as I collage several pieces together into a new design with a vintage flair.

My work bench is cluttered with trays of old pieces I have collected along with vintage chains and beads too!  Oh, what a joyful dilemma it is to pick and choose the right combinations.

My  biggest problem these days is that I want to keep each one of them that I make! So hard to let them go when I box them up and send them on their way.   They may not be going to a gala event but I know they will go to ladies with a love for the day's of old.

I will still create the Magdalena Moon Designs so many of you love, but will now expand my creative line to share my "Vintage Moon Designs".

I have created many beautiful necklaces and bracelets designs to choose from, with more on the way over the coming summer season.  

So, if you're planning a trip to the Saugatuck/Douglas area this summer, please take the time to stop in at Mr. Miller's Emporium in the Dockside Market place to see my new vintage line. 

Oh, and while your at the Dockside be sure to stop in at tea shop, they have some great teas!
