Finding Treasure in Vacation

Antique Key Necklace

While on a mini-vacation with my best friend, I saw these keys at the flea market.

I spoke to the man at the booth and he gave me a good deal on two of these beautiful vintage keys.

I wanted to give a slight bohemian look to this necklace so I hand knotted a gorgeous mix of beads with silk.

Key Necklace, Vintage Key Necklace

I wanted it to look a little bit like a crochet chain so I used one strand of silk in the beads and one outside, knotting them together between the beads.

I used pink, light pink, coral, pearl and clear colors for the mix.

It’s nice and long so there is no need for a clasp!
