The Rusty Cauldron

Happy Birthday to my radiant, enchanting bestie! 🧡

To my co-conspirator in creativity and chaos and the other half of our wonderfully quirky oddities business: I hope today reminds you just how loved and appreciated you are. Between the endless treasures, curiosities, and adventures we share, you've become so much more than a business partner—you have been, are, and will always be family to me.

Thank you for always being there, whether it's encouraging me to embrace my creativity and dream bigger or cheering me on through every wild idea and new adventure. Your strength, loyalty, and unwavering support mean more to me than I could ever properly express.

Michaela Veach you bring so much light, laughter, and magic into the lives of the people around you. I am incredibly grateful for every memory we've made and everyone still to come. I love you dearly, and I hope this year brings you all the happiness, success, and joy that you deserve.

Today is a celebration of you—the incredible friend, creative soul, and beautiful person who makes life brighter for so many. 🧡✨🎂

Everyone, help me wish Michaela Veach the happiest of birthdays and shower her with lots of love! 🧡🥳

We are so excited to be setting up at the beautiful Vaile Mansion in Independence, MO from 9 AM to 4 PM. To celebrate, I’ve made some special edition glass strawberry bead jewelry, including matching earrings and necklaces, plus some stunning new sun catchers to catch those summer rays. ☀️

Come shop local art, enjoy the festival, and snag some sweet glass berries before they're gone! 🍓

Time stands still in this new piece. 🕰️🌿✨

I recently found a broken, thrifted clock and decided to give it a second life. I transformed it into this large cloche display, creating a little preserved world inside.

At the center is a groundhog skull resting on a gorgeous piece of driftwood. It's surrounded by a real butterfly, dried flowers, and treasures foraged straight from the forest floor—delicate snail shells, pine cones, and a lush bed of moss.

My absolute favorite detail of this piece is the striking color play. The deep, vibrant purples of the large amethyst crystal geode contrast so beautifully with the rich, earthy greens of the moss. It creates such a perfect balance of grounding forest energy and celestial magic, which is exactly the vibe we love here at The Rusty Cauldron. 💜🌿

Happy Pride Month from The Rusty Cauldron! 🌈

🌿 Nature creates the most beautiful spectrums, and we are so excited to celebrate love, authenticity, and community all month long.

To kick off the celebration, I’m thrilled to introduce our newest creations! These are ethically sourced animal vertebrae magnets, carefully crafted with real dried flowers. Every piece is entirely unique, just like all of us. Check out the rainbow display—which color is your favorite? 🔎
