vintage fabric + reclaimed adorned objects

Fabric collected by my Grandma Pichette when she worked in a seamstress shop years ago. She told me that she would take the remnants out of the trash, with the hope of one day making a quilt. She felt "that they were too beautiful to be thrown away."
Grandma never ended up making the quilts she dreamed of, and passed the fabric along to me.
Their purpose has now come to fruition through these necklaces.
Care Instructions ~ Unfinished vintage fabric, please expect fraying. Trim as needed.
Every necklace is housed in a box to help mitigate wear.
