Anglophiliac badge of honor, with heavily hand-distressed vintage materials including pleated satin and tartan ribbons, velvet trim and gorgeous beaded bullion royal crown button.

I love this item, it looks so great on a vintage bag, jacket or t-shirt and can fit in along with so many styles from Lolita to punk trashion to a certain neo Victorian steampunk vibe. Big nod to Vivienne Westwood.

Ok, gotta make myself one so I won’t be sad when it sells.

Ready to ship, currently the only one.

How often have you found yourself getting dressed in the morning and stating aloud to your cat: If only I had the perfect pin to hitch up my skirt so I can show off my lacy tulle petticoat underneath? Routinely, right? I thought so! I am here to grant your wish, oh romantic girl.

Beautiful vintage brass pin, bedecked with a stunning distressed jeweled Kuchi dangle charm and fabulously curated beads (glass, clay, tribal, handmade, Czech). Note: I’m not sure of the material of the kuchi piece… it is not precious metal and the stone may be plastic, tho it looks/feels like glass.

Wear it as I designed, to hoist up your skirt or dress, or certainly in a more traditional way on your lapel or coat, as a scarf pin or to keep a shawl closed. Quite versatile, the pin works in both a vertical and horizontal orientation. IMPORTANT: this is not a pin for delicate fabrics. It is a substantial vintage pin and best used on sweaters, or flannels/wools or any fabric you are not too worried about punching a bit of a hole into.

Beautiful vintage French laundry pin (D19), bedecked with a cluster of charms, beads, rhinestones, and hella vintage goodness. This one has a 40’s-looking molded glass conical bead, a wonderful copper beaded bead, delicate chains, a crusty tiny vintage heart charm, rhinestone finding and an old jeweled kuchi belly dance coin (VERY dark blue, almost black), with tribal glass beads… a collection for your bohemian gypsy soul. Colors are all warm brass and rose, neutral enough to really go with anything.

Clouds come floating into my life, no longer to carry rain or usher storm, but to add color to my sunset sky.

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light.
Above all things reverence thyself.

Lovely little stormy cloud brooch, entirely crafted by hand from oxidized recycled metal printer’s plates. Includes a very sweet, very vintage red number tack (#23), a black glass Victorian button, Indonesian polka-dot bead that actually spins on its axis for contemplative meditation, oxidzed chain, and beadwork with glimmering fiery natural labradorite.

One of a kind wearable work of art; ready to ship.
