Creative Grove

I am jewelry obsessed but I rarely buy anything other than antique pieces, most often from a VERY out-of-the-way shop in upstate New York by the Finger Lakes.

However, last  Friday I was inspired at Creative Grove to add to my collection. Pictured are my finds. From the left, a charm-bracelet type ring; a key necklace with peach and turquoise stones; and a gladiator-type hinged ring.

LOVE!

Creative Grove is an artist’s market held at the Grove Street PATH station every Friday from 6-9pm.
