Welcome to B’Sue Boutiques Build A Line Challenge – Blog Hop Part 1
I’m Denise of Jewelry by Denise and I’m so happy to be here with you for the Build a Line Challenge from B’Sue Boutiques http://www.bsueboutiques.com This is part one of the Build a Line series of blog hops, where I will tell you a bit about myself and my background, and why I decided to be part of this challenge. It is an honor to be part of this group with so many talented artisans. All of us will be working hard to create a cohesive line of jewelry and pull our look and thought process together. At the end, we will reveal a complete line of jewelry!
A little about me…
I’m from Massachusetts and have lived here all my life. Yes, I have that Boston accent…pahk yah cah at Havad yad! I am the youngest of three, I have two older brothers (they’re awesome), my mother is still with us and she is unbelievable, she has more energy that I do. I’ve been married to my husband Norm for 27+ years and still going strong! The lights of my life are my two Godchildren, Allison and Vanessa!
I’ve always loved jewelry, especially vintage and vintage-inspired pieces. I love to go to estate sales, consignment shops and thrift stores to see what I can find that will inspire me. I love the Victorian era, the clothes, jewelry, the hairstyles, etc. I was definitely born in the wrong century. Anyways, I plan to incorporate some vintage pieces with pieces I’ve obtained from B’Sue Boutiques http://www.bsueboutiques.com.
I hope you visit my blog often! I plan to make the big reveal at the next blog hop.

Hi Denise, your jewelry looks like things I would love to wear. I visited Massachusetts about 9 years ago, it was beautiful in the fall. I didn’t make it to Boston itself, but drove all up and down Cape Cod, around Boston to Sudbury (Longfellow’s Wayside Inn Mill) and Cape Ann. I’d love to visit again someday. I imagine you can find some great antiques in that part of the country! Can’t wait to see more of you amazing cameos : )
