New to the Shop: Art Deco Ivory Celluloid Painted Elephant Bracelet

We've just listed a truly fabulous Art Deco ivory celluloid bracelet. It is covered in a black japanned finish with elephants and Asian characters painted in relief.  While some flapper no doubt found great pleasure in this addition to her dress and dancing shoes as she went out for a fun night on the town, sipping on illicit champagne and enjoying the sparkling strains from the band, we've put together an everyday ensemble you can wear today!

New to the Shop: Hand Painted Flapper Lady Portrait Brooches

We've just added these two flapper lady pins to our shop.  Highly collectible, these fun brooches are hard to find, particularly as the are hand painted. 



The first brooch is porcelain and features a sophisticated black haired beauty.  She is visiting with a brightly colored butterfly friend.  Bold flowers accent the bottom.  She has a luster finish.  While usually we strive for perfection, she is does have her flaws (the finish has flaked away on the flowers) but then don't we all?


The second brooch is sea-foam green pearlized celluloid and features another flapper who could be her sister as she is another belle with raven tresses.  While her sister is more bohemian and finds joy in nature.  You can just tell that she enjoys the good things in life. Like her dramatic rose adorned picture hat and matching beaded necklace.  Or sipping tea, or cocktails, with friends!

Just Beachy!

As summer is beginning to wind down, we find ourselves longing to pop down to a beach to enjoy a good book and the sand and surf on our toes.  Unfortunately, we are a little landlocked here in the Midwest so we have decided to dedicate today's post to a wonderfully beach-y outfit and daydream instead!

This ensemble is inspired by this sensational set of 1930s beach pajamas from Guermantes Vintage:

We think it would look striking with our apple juice floral celluloid rhinestone bracelet:
