Who wants pretty shoes?

I know I do!

American Duchess has been working on getting silk 18th century repro shoes made.  Our group order has to be 100 pairs though. So if you're interested, now is the time! The pre-sale starts on Friday.

The shoes all come in dyeable white silk.

Here is her blog post that has all the relevant info:

SO pretty! I definitely want one! (Or maybe two!) The pre-order price is great AND she's going to have sizes from 6-12 including 1/2 sizes!


Spread the news around so everyone who is interested knows! (She said to feel free to use her images to spread the word!)

Nouveau Mirror

Ok, this isn't really costumey, but I'm going to post it anyway. I got this Nouveau mirror at an antique show for a great price. I think it's so pretty!






Brooch & buttons

I bought this (and probably overpaid) at an antique show, but she's really pretty.  The buttons are also antique, but my Mom acquired them somewhere. They're blue glass heads.

An antique buckle

This dragon buckle is also from ebay.   I don't know much about it. Nouveau?

More cameos

Here are a few more cameos from ebay. Shell cameos are some of my favorite things.

I love this one, she's one of my favorites.
