White Wednesday Victorian

 These are two bodice pieces of a Victorian dress.
Not sure of year.....maybe early 1900's.
 Beautiful detail and hand stitched beading.
 This is the beading on the edge.
 And here is a close up of it. It came in two pieces.
 Some beautiful jewelry from my store.
 A new friend, new vendor, and new at making jewelry.

I love her work.
 I make the sacrifice and 'model' her pieces while I am working. =)
 These items are for sale. (very reasonable prices)

(I'll be posting with prices here and on my store blog soon,
or you can let me know if interested in any you see.)
Thanks for hosting White Wednesday Kathleen!!

New Treasures and Vignette

 just a  peek at a few things I picked up
that cool old brass cup is from Portland Oregon....
just 100 miles from us. A souvenir cup I think.
 here is an old, and very unique razor.
I'm going to check it out.
It was made in Portland Or too. very cool!
And here is a new little vignette for the store.
I saw the shade idea somewhere,
and gave it my own look....
Bird nest and treasures....

Hope you will all have a great weekend.
