Wedding Bells!

With Spring just around the corner (okay, might be a little longer here in Canada) I always turn to thoughts of swirling white wedding gowns.

I have gone deep into the bonton*vintage storage and am slowly pulling out some wedding lovelies!!

The first of the bunch is a 1960s daisy lace gown. So pretty!!! Love the train! It is currently for offer on ebay for a terrific price.

More to come!!

The best part of the season....

...is getting to dress up!! My oh my, it is such fun dressing up for all the Christmas parties.

Here are a few ebay faves I have up right now!! All the pics are clickable links for your viewing pleasure!!

Another...

...one of my Victorian cuff bracelets. This one in pretty pink and burgundy with touches of trim, lace and bling of course!!




Did you know that there are ONLY 12 weeks until Christmas?!?!?! A good time to start your shopping and squirrel away those gifts way ahead of time. Then you can enjoy the delightful parts of the season instead of battling it out at the mall!!

I am starting my shopping this week at my favorite local independently owned stores and on etsy!!

Cuff one on!

I have been a busy girl lately going through all my vintage trims and jewelry bits. My first little creation is ready and for sale in my etsy shop, awaiting a new wrist to adorn.

Here it is all pretty and romantic and sparkly in black and cream with some bling of course!!

There is nothing more rewarding than taking things that would normally be discarded and making something new! The lace had a former life as a vintage 1950's wedding dress bodice.

A little extra on this cuff is the pin that is removable, so you can wear it on the bracelet or remove to wear wherever you please! Hope you like it!!

So behind!

It seems that the blog is always the first thing to be neglected when things get crazy!! Too busy junking and now if full Halloween costume mode on ebay!!

Here is a little fun thing you vintage lovers will like...try it out!
