Lots of news

2009-04-26T14:30:00.000-07:00

Hi everyone
Great news! The new 2009 collection is just about ready. This season I was fortunate to have obtained the most beautiful vintage fur coat buttons you have ever laid eyes on for my necklaces. It is going to be like parting with one of my own children as I have grown very attached to them. Also, this year I am offering several different options for hanging your button pendants. There will be many lengths of either leather or chain as well as silver plated chokers available. All stunning options!!
This was a busy winter of getting the Auntie Em's ReCreations name out there and I managed to land in two publications 1. Granville, sustainable city living online magazine and 2.Steveston ivillage, online magazine. See the links below for the details.

Steveston Farmers Market

2008-06-16T17:51:00.001-07:00

Well, it's been 4 weeks at the Market and though it was a slow start things are starting to rev up. My recycled jewellery and accessories have been well received and sales have been very good.

It is so nice to get out in my community and meet the people and share stories as well as get a chance to show off my designs. The Richmond News will be featuring me in an article in June 20th's edition. Watch for that and hope to see you out at the Market from 11-4 on Sunday afternoons in beautiful Steveston BC.
Cheers , Auntie Em aka Emily Langevin

Diana's house party and sale

2007-11-25T13:14:00.000-08:00

It was a very successful house party at Diana's on Saturday November 24th. The hostess, Diana used her imagination to find lovely ways to display my jewellery and accessories. With her use of antiques and family heirlooms she set a very pretty backdrop for my collection. The ambience was perfect for showcasing jewellery and accessories made with love from antique and recycled items . Appy's were served, the groovy tunes were playing and word is that it was a very nice day and the friends who were in attendance had a great time.

Many thanks to the "Hostess with the Mostess" Diana, for her attention to detail and for the fabulous sales.

Show and sale of
Auntie Em’s ReCreations Jewellery

Auntie Em’s ReCreations Richmond, BC… At Auntie Em’s ReCreations, I love to scour estate sales, thrift stores, and antique fairs to find fabulous vintage jewellery. My name is Emily Langevin, aka Auntie Em, and I have a great appreciation and fondness for vintage jewellery. In 2005, I decided to combine my longtime passion for jewellery and design by taking yesterday’s treasures and making them modern, from kitschy and fun to elegant and delicate.I break down brooches, pins, earrings, and necklaces, into a treasured collection of sparkling, colourful rhinestones, semi-precious stones, unique art glass, faux pearls, Swarovski crystals, Czech glass, opalescent, Venetian glass, vintage metal filigree, simple white buttons, extravagant buttons, unique beads, and lots of glitz. I re-work and re-invent the retro, recycled materials into funky new one-of-a-kind pieces which begin a new journey in the world of fashion accessories, adding a sparkle to an evening suit or a pair of jeans. I am pleased to announce belt buckles as the latest addition to my collection of bracelets, earrings, lariats, necklaces. I inlay bits and baubles from my treasures to create perhaps an art deco flair or a subtle art nouveau French-styled piece, and attached each one to a black or brown leather belt. The possibilities, combinations, and colours available allow my imagination to flourish. Sustainability and recycling are all the rage, and whether you are just looking for something fun or are a collector of vintage jewellery, I can offer you a retro or refined look that expresses your personality. Think retro-respectful when you wear my pieces. After all, “everything old is new again.”Orders for custom jewellery are always welcome.For more information on jewellery, visit http://www.auntieemsrecreations.com/. auntieemsrecreations@gmail.com

Come and join me as I show off one of my multi-talented friends….you will love her creations. Get your Christmas shopping done early!

Light refreshments and appetizers will be served

Parking on side streets.

Cash appreciated – cheques accepted with I.D. (if I don’t know you really well J )

Looking forward to seeing all of you….Diana

How do you like this belt buckle? I call this one "Ruby" and named it after a good friend's Grandma. It just one of the ReCreations I have come up with. Make a great unique gift, don't you think?

Day before "back to work"

2007-09-17T20:11:00.001-07:00

Well, after almost one month off I have to head back to the salt mines and my day job tomorrow. My question is "why can't I be independently wealthy"?

Beautiful copper and crystal button necklace on a leather cord.
