vintage pins as hair accessories

When my mother was married, my grandmother (her mother in-law to be) loaned her a porcelain flower brooch to wear in her hair. Now that I’m engaged, I wanted to wear the same pin that my mother did, and my grandmother before her.There was one small problem.

My Nana couldn’t find the pin. She looked all over her house. My aunt looked all over her house. My parents even looked all over Nana’s house.

And no pin.

“Oh well” I thought, I’m sure I can find more. So I started building up my own collection of porcelain flowers to wear.

And then, Nana found the pin! So I now have enough flowers to wear in my hair, as well as share with my bridesmaids.

It’s a little unusual to wear brooches in your hair, but I love the way they look – just be careful & don’t poke yourself!

chunky glass necklaces

I love the look of a simple strand of bold, glass beads. It’s a style that can be dressed up (fabulous with a little black dress) or tossed on with a pair of jeans and your favorite t-shirt.
I’ve been playing around with this style in my studio and have come up with a few necklaces that I’m tickled pink with. I’m using pre-loved glass beads, not perfect – but full of character!

This is my “Dusk” necklace – you can also see it here

I think this is my favorite colour combination – it’s so fresh & summery!

I think this one almost looks like chunks of amber or coral -

wouldn’t it be great with the perfect pair of red boots?

Window Shopping

For this article I did just that. I went to a mall and did a bit of window shopping. It paid off. I noticed a green halter top, a pair of black pants, green strappy heels (same color as the halter) and a predominantly white bag in with splashes of ice cream colors. Because of all the green in the outfit, the white bag was the perfect accent. A green bag would have been too much. Post from: Splendicity. Check out our new community features! Window Shopping
