This week the honor goes to:

The Broken Plate Pendant Company!

The Broken Plate specializes in giving new life to old dinnerware, ceramics, glass and “anything else in my way.” Each piece of glass is wrapped in copper tape and lead-free silver solder to create an original, precious piece of jewelry. Visit the official website to pick out a favorite!

The Broken Plate also custom-makes pendants. So if you ever find yourself with broken pieces of a ceramic that had sentimental value, ask her to turn it into something beautiful (and that can adorn your neck!)

Rhymes With Twee!

Her name is Leigh. It rhymes with twee, which is where she got the name for her wee craft company!

Leigh loves twee/indie pop music and adorable stuff in general. She’s also made things and doodled since she was little. Thanks to her industrious, crafty soul, we now have quirky cute cards, pillows, baby onesies, and more at Rhyme With Twee’s Etsy Shop! They also have a website!
