Updated with a video review below....
Okay, first off I have to tell you that besides making awesome pieces, Rhonda is also one of the coolest chicas on the internet! Okay- that out of the way, let me tell you a little about her store. She has TONS of pieces up, from vintage finds to her own designs. What I love is that she takes vintage pieces and reworks them into completely her own vision- things that most people would toss or overlook in the junk bin at an antique store gets turned into stunning one of a kind works of jewelry art that not only draw ooohs and ahhhs everywhere you go, but are also crazy affordable.

For example, this piece uses the springs from vintage pens!!!!!! HOW genius is that?!?!?!


And this piece began it's life as a money clip!


The intricacy and detail of these pieces is flabbergasting- when I wear my necklace that she made I get stopped by people who spend at least 5 minutes taking in each tiny detail.


And the prices on her vintage pieces? These are 4 bucks. In an antique or vintage store (at least in my neck of the hipster woods) they'd be two or three times that, easily.


I could easily post picture after picture on here, because it's almost impossible for me to pick out a favorite, but better yet- how about you go and check out her store and see for yourself! I double dog dare you to not find something to fall in love with.
 (this little beauty? 15 bucks!)

Her store sections show off her delightful sense of humor as well, with sections titled things like Got Wood? and Funkytown USA. She also tells you a little about each piece with poetry, ruminations and inspirations.

I was going to get Rhonda to answer some questions for you, but voila! With perfect timing she was chosen as Zibbet's Zibbeter Of The Week, so they did the heavy lifting for me :-) To read the interview, visit HERE. You can also visit her BLOG to find out more about her.

A few questions that weren't in the interview that I asked her:

But the question what is my fave thing to make? I think I get the biggest kick out of making sock monkeys for friends and family--- I take something from their personality and make a little poem about them and the recipients have been so thrilled when they got them :) I have had degenerative arthritis and taken insaids since I was 30 and now fibro and my hands are really starting to bother me with that type of sewing and intricate things so now when I make them I know that it is something I won't be able to do someday ( But I am only telling you this because I saw one of your videos about taking a muscle relaxant and I know exactly how those kind of days are :) - (Beauty Pirate here- this is a reference to my hilariously disastrous Laura Mercier review video when I was QUITE MISTAKENLY under the impression that I could be coherent while on Soma!) Anyways... Here is a blog link that shows some of my sock monkeys...

And also the question about where I get my ideas...Sometimes I have dreams or like in the case of "Crazy Doll" (your necklace)--I couldn't sleep that night and "After 12 is where you'll find me" just popped into my head...and crazy doll was born LOL!--but most of the time--I just start with a focal piece and add as I go along---I think I have always been someone who looks at something and I see it for what it could be and what I could turn it into ... and not for what it presently is (probably the reason I dated so many losers when I was younger) hee-hee.
