meeganp :: buckle and button bracelet

As an NEPA resident and a fan of “The Office”, of course I was interested to read about Meegan Possemato, Manager of Business Development  at our local office supply company, One Point, which happens to be errily similar to the fictional Dunder Mifflin.  But what caught my eye was Meegan’s sideline business of making bags “crafted from vintage, recycled and agonized-over materials” to sell at crafts fairs and online at her Etsy shop.

In addition to her bags, Meegan has a line of one of a kind “buckle and button” bracelets. Pictured above is my favorite made with mother of pearl and rhinestone. The buttons and buckles are sewn onto a piece of elastic which is wrapped in vintage linen so it would be soft against the skin.

In my piano teaching I see many styles of bracelets and rings on the students – along with nail polish and fingerless gloves – but this unique bracelet is a beauty.  Someone will be lucky to get it for Christmas!
