Welcome to January! It really feels like a new beginning this year. I'm trying all new things - all the time. Here's a new thing: a giveaway for a color description. Our January collection is all about the early whites - the whites of long ago. Lately I have been doing some deep digging with old vendors and I keep seeing lot's of old white - feathers, flowers, beads....the overlooked color? So often when white pieces have been stored for 50 plus years, they turn this very subtle shade of white - that's the color I am going for here - not a cream, not a sand, but an antique white. Dusty white? Anyway - maybe someone out there can explain the color. We'll choose one or two lucky comments on Saturday, January 10th. If you've never made one of our charm kits before - breath easy - everything is included in the kit - you just need a pair of pliers and some strong glue, I'll include a guidebook also. Bonne Chance!

sun-kissed linen
snowflake dreams
The bracelet is beautiful . . . it looks cozy, comfortable, fresh and clean!
They look like Battenberg lace white. The color reminds me of old lace doilies that color slightly with age.
It's a beautiful collection!

Frankly, I love Antique Whites, but some alternatives might be:
Memories of White

Shadow Whites (There used to be a vintage clothing store in the San Francisco Bay Area called "Shadows of Forgotten Ancestors" that specialized in white clothing, old wedding dresses, and linens - such an evocative name!
Vintage Whites
Linen Cupboard White
Grandpa's Handkerchief
Face Cream Whites
Powder Whites

The old whites are so peaceful,
and calming. Lilly of the Valley
reminds me of peace.
I love your blog.

Vintage White or Antique white seems to fit so nicely, and brings to mind an old treasure found in your grandmother's attic.
Looking at it I think Aspen White fits nicely...
Ah, lovely.
moonstone
vellum
frost
feather white
to me, it looks like:
ambience
white witch
wavecrest white
aylesbury duck
snowy owl white
moonshine
piano key white
white magic
white lies
If these haven't already been suggested:
Parched white

How about:

Thanks for the opportunity!

I too love antique whites, old vintage hats, carved lucite earrings.. And I know that color very well,its as if whites are baked over time and become slightly toasted.
So here is my list:
Edelweiss (German: "noble white"
dandelion clock
waxen flora
coffee ring
mushroom's underside
"wind in the wheat" -The Little Prince
What about just "Yesterday"
Doille white
Porcelain white
Winter pass white
Gorgeous jewelry. How about dandelion white or whisper white?
Loved your book on making jewely. The name escapes me now because my brain is busy thinking of white colors...vintage vanilla. Love the bracelet!
I suggest Driven Snow.
au lait -- which is french for milk, which I think goes very nicely with the french-y charms. I really like the sound of "Couchon du lait," but that means "pig in milk," and is probably not the marketing you're going for.
Wisp Stalk/Will-o-Wisp
Fog Cap
Moonflower
Lady's Smock
Elf's Brow
Spider Silk
Coralline
Frosted Marble
Fairy's Milk
Ichor
Cairn Bolete (another Oblivion game ingredient)
and just for good measure...
Rumpelstiltskin

I say “let’s keep it simple”… Delicate White, Fine White, Delicate Aged White, or Fine Aged White

and I love that bracelet!
Here are a few ideas:

I think I may be too late for the give-away but I would describe the color as French Vanilla (BTW the name of my business!). peg
This piece brings back memories of late night blizzards. Now as a historian I love to find such pieces @ shops. I would title it 'Memories of White'. Tina

oleander
innocence
bona fide bisque
sands of time
maison blanche
Grecian ivory
alabaster
ivory lace
aesthetic pearl
Modest pearl
cultured pearl
enchanted ivory
porcelain
when i first saw the bracelet, i thought of my great grandmother. It was the exact shade of her face powder that had that soft elagance smell that i can still close my eyes and go back as if i am right there sitting on the stool watching her dust her face with it. The aroma would fill the air much as the loose powder did. It is one of the most prized memories of her!
i would love to be entered!
au lait
creme fraiche
lily
Some of these whites remind me of wet moonstones on the beach. White with a blueish glow. They show up particularly well at dusk.
So how about Dusk White.
I immediately thought "vintage white". Maybe someone already suggested it but you have over 200 comments...I didn't check.
Beautiful kits! I just found you online! Gorgeous.
