Sassy Brass

 It's inevitable that when I find a necklace I fall really hard for, that it will have an awesome clasp. Most often a brass flower clasp.

 The top two are ones that I sold last year and I am starting to kick myself for that. 

Above is a 1940s apple jelly celluloid chain and pale pink shell necklace in the shop now. It also has a cute brass flower clasp.

 I'm told she hasn't seen daylight in about 60 years, so maybe you should take her out for a spin!

Shop update- July

 Some new vintage loaded into the shop over the Holiday weekend! 

How was yours?

Shop update - Apples & Oranges

 

 One of my favorite recent updates I think. 

 Surely be usurped by next week's. SO many good things!

Have a great weekend

Handbags

 

My mom just sent me this little book of handbags through the century by Judith Miller.

I poured through every word and then felt inspired for this post.

Here are some of my favorite pages and designers including Enid Collins- she has 2 whole pages dedicated to her style.

Also 3rd picture above are some Summer beaded bags coming soon and then below are the Enid Collins and John Romain handbags I listed last week. In the shop!

"I find that it is vital to have at least one type of handbag for each of the ten types of social occasion:

Very Formal, Not so Formal, Just a Teensy bit Formal, Informal But Not That Informal, Every Day, 

Every Other Day, Day Travel, Night Travel, Theater and Fling."
