Vintage Halloween disc necklace sets from Odd Bird....limited editions, so once these beauties are sold that will be it for the season!

Tree of Life bottlecap necklace by Peeno, Scrabble earrings by Odd Bird & Rock On! necklace by Margie set against a fun "70's Rec Room Couch" plaid zippy purse by Integrity Designs....oh and while its not exactly themed for the Fall season, I couldn't resist adding the Paramecium (at least that's what it kinda looks like) pin by Keri Rounding.

Squirrel ring & earrings by Buttercup Days, Ouija necklace by Peeno, Pumpkin button by Space Cat, Black Leaf earrings by Precious Pink, Fuzzy ring by Keri Rounding, Subway station zipper pull by Storybeads, Crow domino pendant by Odd Bird & Spiderweb cup cosy by Cipolla...all set against a plaid scarf also by Cipolla.

Buying jewellery for a gift

Having several jewellery designers at the Fresh Collective means that we have LOTS of different jewellery styles to offer! So when it comes to selecting jewellery for a gift (or to treat yourself!) you will have many pieces to choose from.


For those who like to wear dangly (yet light weight) earrings, we have these Baltic-Birch charm earring threaders by OddBird. There are several charm designs to choose from besides the Bear, Tree & Hummingbird shown here. Come into the store to take a look!

Buttercup Days combines several types of vintage baubles (with flowers, animals, insects, beads, glass etc) to create jewellery that has a Classic or Romantic feel. Yet it works with many styles, whether its worn with a lacey dress or basic t-shirt. So detailed you need to come see these pieces in person to get a closer look!

If its a more modern look your after, check out Margie's jewellery line. This "Abacus" style necklace has multiple coloured beads that'll go with many different outfits. And Margie has made each single bead herself, how neat is that?

We also have more fun/less serious jewellery, such as the "Girls Don't Poop"necklace by Peeno....while maybe you can't wear this one at the Office, it certainly makes a great gag gift for the "Girl who has Everything!"

Gift for the Dog Lover

Everyone has a dog lover on their gift list, and we have a great selection of dog themed stuff. Shown here is a handmade card by Utility Grade, who also has tee-shirts and art prints with dogs on them. The domino pendant is by Odd Bird, as is the black vintage hairclip and blue pendant. We have lots of little fun things like these buttons with a ton of different images, from dogs to nipples (yes, no kidding! Come in to the shop and see all our hilarious and cute buttons.)
