I keep seeing this etsy seller and her necklaces featured on various blogs (the latest) and I can now safely say I’m obsessed. I’m also a bit jealous, because I’ve been meaning to take up embroidery for quite some time now, but haven’t found the time, nor have I picked up all the supplies I’ll need. I do have a really beautiful, simple canvas my step-mom bought me for my birthday a couple of years ago…all I need to do is sit down and start.
Anyway, I love these hand-embroidered geometric print necklaces by etsy seller, spinthread. They kind of remind of those coloring books I used to do in high school & college with the very detailed geometric prints (do you know the ones I’m talking about?). I would spend hours coloring those with colored pencils…

Thank goodness for history…I clicked through to this necklace from a blog I have in my reader (and now I don’t remember which one..sorry!) and closed it without bookmarking it last night! But I was so obsessed with it, I was determined to find it again, and spent time looking back through the hundreds of blogs I have in my reader before I realized I could scroll through my browsing history. D’oh.
Anyway, I’ve always been kind of a heavy metal girl; loved the music in middle school (oy!) and now, the jewelry. If I could, I’d wear heavy metal chains sometimes, and delicate layers other times. This is one of those necklaces I’d love to wear layered with other chains of different lengths for some interest. And it’s only $22. LOVE it!

There’s been a lot of hype around necklush’s fabulous necklace/scarf creations lately, quite frankly, because they are AWESOME! That’s exactly what I said back in February when I first spotted these at Pixie Market and I couldn’t be happier that necklush is getting the attention they deserve. I really just need to get one of these and stop talking about it…
I would definitely get the magenta necklush (on the left), but there are so many colors to choose from…which one is your favorite? would you rock one of these?
Grechen’s Closet may be a shopping website, but I have always advocated thinking carefully about what you buy (I myself have a 24 hour waiting period) and not buying things you don’t need just because they’re on sale…
