by

Hey all, this is Heidi, your friendly Candle Making Editor. I have some exciting news to share today – Michaels has invited a bunch of craft bloggers to attend a summit this week, and I’ll be there representing Craft Gossip! We’re going to have the opportunity to check out some of their new products, tour the facilities, and even meet Craft Wars judge Jo Pearson. I head out tomorrow for my first-ever visit to Texas. If anyone has questions for me (or for me to ask Jo Pearson or the Michaels staff), leave them in the comments, and I’ll answer them asap!

A Swoon for a Spoon: My Thoughts on Sadie Seasongoods’ Cameo Pendants

Okay, so let me just say, I’m obsessed with these spoon cameo pendants from Sadie Seasongoods! If you’re into unique jewelry that has a vintage vibe, but with a modern twist, then you have to check these out. Seriously, I’ve been wearing mine non-stop, and every time I do, someone asks where I got it from. It’s definitely become one of those signature pieces for me.

If you’re wondering what exactly a spoon cameo pendant is, let me explain. Sadie Seasongoods takes actual spoons and transforms them into these beautiful pendants. Yes, you read that right—spoons! They’re upcycled, which is such a cool idea, and the designs feature intricate cameos. The mix of the shiny metal and the detailed artwork gives it such a timeless, charming look. Plus, each one feels totally one-of-a-kind.

I don’t know about you, but I love accessories that can make a statement. These spoons have this vintage charm to them—think retro with a little bit of modern edge. The cameos on the spoons range from cute florals to more abstract patterns. Each pendant feels like a piece of art, and you can tell a lot of care went into crafting them.
