I love it finding creative people that take mundane, every day things and repurpose them into something splendid…..like Anne from Anne Franklin Designs. This gal takes vintage game pieces, fabric, or keys and turns them into mini works of art! How cool is that?! She makes necklaces, earrings, wall art, and mini notepads with them.
But I think my favorite item she makes is her mini monopoly note pads! Anne lives in Denver, Colorado and is following her dream to help her family AND do what she loves every day. She is the head chef, maid, and chauffeur for her husband and three girls. {I’m sure many of us can relate haha}
LOVE vintage keys and old bicycles!
Aren’t they clever? These little notepads would make a great gift for your hubby for valentine’s day! Or your realtor. They might get a kick out of them too lol.
If you have a word of the year, why not wear it each day to remind yourself? Or are you preparing for a marathon? Or a simple, You Rock necklace never hurt anyone!

Just love the look of these necklaces! My mom and sister’s birthdays are in two weeks! I could see spurging for them.
My daughter could certainly use a little lift right now. She’s going through a particularly rough time right now and one of these sweet little charmers would pick her spirits up a bit! It doesn’t matter how old your children are….mom’s still worry!! Have a blessed day!
I would love some of these necklaces. I have to wear a uniform to work and love mixing it up with fun and upcoming jewelry. :) Thanks

Honestly, with the new baby coming I could use some AFD in my life. But I there are two women I know going through some personal trials right now that immediately came to mind. I’d get them a little something first.
Who on my list??? My darling girl, my mother, my mother-in-law… would all love something like AFD’s work. What a neat giveaway!
