Recycled Rings!
With everyone (hopefully) "GOING GREEN" we are excited to bring to you a new artist here at Unique Freaque. Meet Michelle!
Michelle creates these unique, one of a kind rings by re-using old pieces of jewelry. Each setting is hand sewn utilizing different embroidery methods. The stone is wrapped with several layers of thread and then further embellished with other fibers, beads, or wire.
Every ring is one-of-a-kind, so you will be the only person in the world wearing your ring!
Besides being fun and beautiful, these rings have been created with Mother Earth in mind. Because each ring is reconstructed from found jewelry, you can feel good in knowing that your ring has been recycled. What’s more, if you feel like making a statement about “blood diamonds” or other harmful mining processes, these rings send just the right message.
Who needs diamonds and sapphires and emeralds and pearls when you can wear an original, anonymous, beautiful recycled ring! See her newest designs at UNIQUEFREAQUE.COM
Have a great week and get out there and enjoy some of the sunshine!

Sure Signs of Spring!
Hello all! Well, there are sure signs of Spring in the air. The snow (out here in the Northwest Burbs) is finally melting! The migrating birds are starting to appear. It's just a matter of time now. The sun will shine and new life will return to the Chicago area!
Being Scottish, I had to post this. If you're not doing anything this afternoon and have some free time and are interested in Scottish Culture - there is an event at the Oak Park Arms today. "Exploring Scottish Themed Compositions". It begins at 1:00 p.m. and explores music with the lively Alfred Scheopco who will lead in discussing Mendelssohn's Scottish Fantasy and Bruck's Scottish Fantasy.
You can view the details at OAK PARK AREA CONVENTION & VISITOR'S BUREAU
