Back with more updates! This time it's all vintage playing cards! All are in new, unplayed condition! These are limited though, once I sell them all there'll be no more cards of the same suit. I've got real vintage playing cards coming up soon, but those will have a bit of age showing, so if you mind, GRAB THESE WHILE YOU CAN! As usual, customisation will cost more and will depend on what other charms you'd like to add to your chain. Also, jump rings are included with your purchase so that it'll be ready to wear! :)

Japanese playing cards, 3 x 1 inch each. $5.50 each. Unique and different from the rest that I have, which mainly have an American theme to them.
NOTE: the butterfly on the Ace card has gone missing, but it will be re-attached promptly (once I find it, and I will find it), no worries! Backs are as pictured below.

One Burlesque playing card with a picture of a girl playing the banjo(?) and wearing cowboy boots and a hat, $4.50.
One Cupid playing card, unique front and back, ONLY ONE LEFT, $5.50.
GIRL WITH BANJO PLAYING CARD SOLD.

Kitsch food playing cards! This is my personal favourite because they're so whimsical! Choose from any of the four designs. Backs are shown below, a gingham red and white print. Looking at these just make me hungry! Your mama told you not to play with food when you were growing up, but now that you have, why not? Have fun with these! $5.50 each.

Just as promised, I'm back with updates :) More stuff up soon, I'm restocking and need a little time, but here's some stuff to keep you busy in the meantime! Some insects give you the creeps, others are simply adorable :) Personally, I hate bugs but this ladybird perched on two woody charms is simply too cute! As an added bonus, it's accompanied by the butterfly at the top and a round diamante at the bottom.
Note: Both the butterfly and the ladybird are brooches, but once you remove them, it will take some work piecing together this necklace again. One-off, don't know if remakes are possible. $27.90 shipped!
