Wedding Invitations become Fabulous Jewelry!

   Our favorite local jewelry artist, Mona Lindvall of mLindvall…inspired design, provides a beautiful example of repurposing and recycling…Mona recently created the pieces shown in the photo below as a gift for some very fortunate newlyweds. The couple's wedding invitations became wearable keepsakes!

   "This was a custom order from wedding guests to honor the bride and groom at their steampunk-themed wedding! The groom's bracelet was crafted from the copper sheet of the invitation...the brides's from the gears and washers that were attached!"

   Wonderful!

repurpose, reuse, restyle.

When planning your next event or celebration, why not think green? No, not the color green, necessarily; but green as in recycled, reused, or repurposed. Rural will soon be offering a large selection of rentable items for your next party or photo shoot.

Our vintage items can be repurposed in so many ways! It simply takes a little imagination and creativity. We've got that. If you would like to use special pieces of your own, but aren't sure how to incorporate them into your theme, we can help with that as well. I will be sharing several examples of repurposing and restyling in the future. Today, I have a couple of photos to give you a glimpse of what I am referring to. Enjoy.
