Once she had money

What most folks don’t know

Once rich

Bio from Site:
Based out of Portland, or, Anna vintage jewelry is a limited edition jewelry line that is made from authentic vintage materials. with the exception of the ear wires and some of the clasps, every single piece anna uses in her designs is entirely, 100% vintage.
Anna hunts through antique stores and estate sales for special pieces, although the majority of her finds come from old costume jewelry warehouses where she can uncover small runs of vintage dead-stock chains and baubles to incorporate into her work. Anna also uses leather in her designs that is recycled from antique leather gloves, an old and luxuriously tactile accessory, transformed into designs that are current and wearable.

Biography from website:
Kylie Earlene Grater’s farm beginnings in Riley, Kansas lend a unique aesthetic to her original pieces. Growing up in the rural Midwest, she was able to look out onto the Plains, their vast horizons, and crops that rotated with the seasons.
The simplicity of rural life, the changing of the weather, and the cycles of planting, and harvesting have all influenced Grater’s approach to creating jewelry. Her close contact with these organic influences, in part, determines her materials: feather, cow bone, and leather, to name a few.
Grater’s later influences stem from substantial time spent studying and working abroad. She studied the professional side of craftmaking in England during college for a year and spent time in Africa, working with an HIV/AIDS project. These cultures, combined with her own upbringing in small-town America, have helped to determine the way that Grater builds her designs.
In addition to creating jewelry out of new materials, Grater invents pieces by reconstructing cast-outs and vintage jewelry. Inspiration for this line of jewelry comes from a dictate out of her rural past: one must make use of every little thing! This reuse results in unique and eclectic pieces that are expressive of both the old and the new.
Grater resides in Lawrence, Kansas where all the pieces are handmade.
Early Jewelry also has a wonderful blog ( WEBSITE )

Pecan Pie Couture’s Spring 2009 season of shirts LEGENDARY has a new video out on you-tube. We were inspired by southern folklore and legends for this line of shirts.
To set the mood we asked our friends Martina Williams AKA Martina Diamante ( WEBSITE ) and Erich Luedkte of the Lasch (no longer playing after “the Lasch Show Ever” and but currently forming a new band), to rework a traditional Appalachian folk tune we found on the library of congress website.
Martina scored and played the violin.
Erich was in charge of recording and styling the score.

I know this is Awful, but if you already look like an OOMPA LOOMPA then maybe don’t dress like one. And as Matt pointed out one of them is wearing Crocs in the opening ceremonies.. This is just wrong.
