Vintage Typewriter Key Jewelry
At Buster and boo, I make jewelry using vintage typewriter keys. Sometimes really !!! vintage. The keys typically date from before 1950-1960 at the latest. Around then they started using plastic.
I make a lot of pendants, and some rings. I started recently to make cufflinks. So far I've had 2 orders for bridal parties - so much fun to think I had a small part in such a special day.
One of my customers (not for one of the bridal parties) is a photographer. She sent me this picture of the cufflinks, and I just HAD to share!!

Harris Hawk
He's back again. He likes to sit in my tree, just outside my window.
According to Wikepedia, this hawk can be anywhere from 18 to 30 inches tall, and generally have a wingspan of 3.6 feet.
The biggest bird that usually sits in our trees is a woodpecker, maybe 7 inches tall.
This hawk is huge. And he is a predator. He eats mice, cats, small dogs....
A raptor.
Watch out!
