Pretty Things

Since I don't have new goods to put up in my shop at the moment, I was going to spend my time looking out for practical, useful things that make life better.

Fortunately for you, I am easily distracted by baubles, so you get to look at some jewellery today.

Welcome, Keys & Memories:

Typewriter key jewellery, like scrabble tile jewellery, has reached new levels of pedantic, so I was delighted to find someone producing charming pieces that you might actually want to wear if you weren't a thirteen year old girl.

It pleases me that her pieces have finished backings and a jump ring large enough to put a proper chain onto. Beyond that, she offers filligree style rings and pendant settings.

If she lived any closer, I would barter warm winter wears for the rods from her typerwriters (they make great antenni!).

Enjoy!

Party Gear

I do not know anyone who is getting married this year (at least I do not think I do!) so I do not have anything to dress up for.

That does not mean I am not looking. If I had an event that required something not currently in my closet I would wear something like this:

To start, a black and red polka dot dress from ZombieDolls. Flattering neckline and full circle skirt, custom-made from $90.

To keep warm in the evening, a vintage bolero from Artifactory. At only $10 it may well wind up in my closet without an event planned.

For $20 my glossy brown locks should be decorously untamed by a lovely black rose and feather hairpiece from MsChrista.

And for my toes: a $15 pair of vintage pumps from AngiesCloset. Perhaps not the sexies pair of shoes, but attractive and easy to dance in!

That makes a grand total of $135 for an outfit anchored on a custom dress with all the comforts of dancing all night. Not bad.
