20% off the entire Warren!

In honor of the approach of Christmas (one of my tippy-top favorite times of the year!) everything in The Warren is 20% off! Yes, that is correct! 20% off any of the lovely rings, necklaces, and bracelets as well as the other paraphernalia like those lovely Shakespearean Insult bookmarks which would make lovely stocking-stuffers for your friends who like snark and sarcasm! If you see something you like, instructions for Ordering From The Warren can be found here.

Merry Christmas, darlings. Let's not forget why we're celebrating this holiday. The birth of Jesus Christ is the main thing that rejoices my heart and this precious season of Advent is my favorite of all. May His peace and joy fill your hearts with quiet wonder throughout this month as well as the other eleven of every year.

Poetry Bar Ring

"Read the best books first, or you may not have a chance to read them at all."

-Henry David Thoreau

'

This ring is sister to the Nest of Poetry Ring featured below. The Poetry Bar features a metal accent made from a re-fashioned bracelet as well as two hand-rolled poetry beads and brass-colored wire to form an intriguing, one-of-a-kind ring that will mark you at once for a fashionable authoress. Perfect gift for a friend or yourself, the Poetry Bar Ring is a lovely weight and just the right dose of rustic elegance to complete a cozy winter outfit. Reminds of something Thoreau would have chosen for a sister or sweetheart. This ring is a size 8-9, so perfect for wearing on a thumb or middle finger! If you think this would be too big for your fingers, email me and I can make this ring in a smaller size just for you at no extra cost.

Nest of Poetry Ring

Anne Shirley Lace Bracelet

"'Dear old world,' she murmured, 'you are very lovely and I am glad to be alive in you.'"

Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery

This beautiful hand-made lace bracelet was created with the "old-days" glory of Prince Edward Island in mind. Can't you imagine a modern-day Anne Shirley wearing something like this? This bracelet would be perfect for two completely different styles: Romantic, lacy, sweet girls, or the Boho-chic girls who like to pile the bracelets on and wear cotton. Earthy and adorable, this bracelet will be one of your favorite jewelry choices for a casual day!

The Great Gatsby Pearl Cuff

    "He came down with a hundred people in four private cars and hired a whole floor of the Seelbach Hotel, and the day before the wedding he gave her a string of pearls valued at three hundred and fifty thousand dollars." -The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald

 

But thank heaven this lovely little cuff isn't that expensive! The Great Gatsby Pearl Cuff is a delicate mix of cotton thread and pearl-beads, and fastens with a little wooden button. After finishing this bracelet I almost didn't want to post it here, and thought I'd keep it for myself, but then I figured some of you might love to own something this sweet, so I went ahead and gave it to The Warren. ;) There is only one of these Pearl Cuffs so snap it up before someone else does! (There were three people in one afternoon interested in the one Scarlet Pimpernel Pin, if that gives you a clue.)

Scarlet Pimpernel Pin

    "Sir Andrew quickly and dexterously put out the flames and replaced the candelabra upon the table; but this had taken him a few seconds to do, and those seconds had been all that Marguerite needed to cast a quick glance at the paper, and to note its contents - a dozen words in the same distorted handwriting she had seen before, and bearing the same device - a star-shaped flower drawn in red ink."

-The Scarlet Pimpernel by Baroness Emmuska Orczy

The Scarlet Pimpernel is one of my favorite stories, as I'm sure you've realized by now, so I was delighted when I passed a stand at our county fair and spied a Scarlet-Pimpernel brooch amid the cacophony of vintage costume-jewelry. I snapped it up, of course, and am delighted to present to you the ideal bit of British mockery. It could be worn by the ladies, of course, but if you were a daring sort of man and liked to imitate Sir Percy's manner of dress, it could certainly double as a tie-pin or button-hole adornment. However you decide to wear it, this little English wayside flower caused a stir in the French Revolution and will be equally admired today.
