Feature Friday – Sea Pinks


felt fruit pincushion in yellow and pinkToday's little feature is for a little shop. Little in size (under 50 items right now), but big in charm. Jenny, the creator of Sea Pinks, describes her shop this way:

Thursday Thrill – Wedded Bliss

swirl dangle earring jewelry with clear molded circle buttons and rhinestone centersecru silk lace vintage bridal dress with v-cut neckline and rhinestone beltToday, I'm giving you some wedding bell thrills. Of course, you wouldn't have to wear this for a wedding. You could just as easily say, "Honey, I'm wearing this to the grocery store. Deal with it.". However, let's pretend you aren't as crazy as I am and go with the wedding theme. This dress (and the everlasting love for my husband, blah, blah, blah) would have me renewing my vows in a heartbeat. 
ecru cream silk vintage women's shoes with bowDearGoldenVintage has already reserved this vintage 1920s/30s lace dress for someone and that someone is sadly not moi. Wouldn't you love to see who gets to wear this?! The ecru silk lace is creamy soft and the cut is on the bias (which means its twirly!). A soft swooping neckline and cute little rhinestone buckled belt are just perfect for creating an unassuming nod to elegance.
Plus, there are the shoes...oh those bow adorned silk slip-ons from the 1950's (and in my size! Arg!). Pair the ensemble with translucent molded earrings that have a rhinestone center and your vintage wedding is ready for its bride.

Treasury Tuesday – Marie Antoinette

Sarah from PeriwinkleCards recently made this beautifully dark and lush treasury that my antique pendant luckily got to be featured in. There is a distinct feeling of broken dreams and forgotten loves, but I guess that's fitting based on the title given.
