After a very long, happy holiday small change is back in business. The above photo is the current small change work station; as you can see, we're very busy with making more wares. It's a whole lot of experimenting - sometimes it makes me feel like a mad scientist! Hopefully soon I'll be able to show you some new designs.<br />
Until then,<br />

To cure my rainy day blues, I sat down this morning with a pile of books at hand and rifled through the antique pages. <br />

The above snaps are of a book I purchased yesterday. It is a beautiful beginner’s ballet book published in 1955.

</div><div style="text-align: left;">Well, walking to the post office today, with a little parcel in my hand that was addressed to Sweden, really made my day! </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div>The above photos is the packaging process for my very fist brooch sold on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/smallchangewares">Etsy</a>. It was a little bit of a trial and error but I finally got there in the end with the little 'par avon' stamp stuck on as well as a super-duper postage stamp that I wanted to keep for my collection.<br />
<br />
I'll be listing some new brooches on my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/smallchangewares">Etsy shop</a> soon, so keep your eye out.

Lovely and vintage, that's what I love about him. He'll be glazed soon and then may be put onto my <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/smallchangewares">Etsy shop</a>.
