Vintage Rust Etsy Necklace Giveaway
Happy Wednesday!
Today I'm featuring a sweet friends Etsy shop,
She makes lovely vintage inspired handmade jewelry.
Hi, I'm Kristina, owner of the Etsy shop Vintage Rust
Last christmas I was trying to think of something more personal to make my family for a gift besides the usual gift card. I thought that personalized jewelery would make a perfect gift. My family loved my jewelery so much that they suggested that I start selling it. That, combined with more compliments provided the inspiration that I needed to start my own etsy store! I started with vintage and steampunk pieces and have quickly taught myself how to do wire wrapping and now I am deep into making resin pieces, which I really enjoy. I hope you enjoy looking at my pieces and thank you!
Here are a few things you can find over at the Vintage Rust

Sheriff's Banquet
Back in 2009-2010, Hut became a member of the Polk County Sheriff's Advisory Council. This is a program where volunteers provide feedback to the Sheriff regarding matters affecting the functions of the Sheriff's office. They do this at quarterly meetings and by being exposed to the many and diverse facets of the agency. Council members serve a one year term and after that are considered Alumni and still participate in meeting and the annual banquet. The coucil must participate in ride alongs with deputies, work at the jail and bookings among other things.





I have applied every year to be on the council since Hut's first year. This may be the year I finally make it. I certainly hope so. We've met so many wonderful people in the community and in law enforcement that have become friends already. I'm ready to make some more new friends. They will announce who makes this year's council on May 4. Stay tuned for updates. Here's hoping it's my time!
