$20.50
Reduced from $26.50

Introducing my new Marie Antoinette inspired line- Let Them Eat Cake! I've been feeling overwhelmingly inspired by Marie lately, or maybe the cinematography and costumes in the movie have gone to my head! Either way, it has made for some pretty and interesting creations depicting the lavishness, opulence, and bold fashion that Marie was known for. It is my hope to create a sort of enchanted, slightly excessive, yet whimisical dream world that will have you basking in the glory of your own little empire (but you get to skip the French Revolution and keep your head)! Enjoy!

A blossom truly fit for a queen! Feel like absolute royalty with this little beauty! Pink and feminine, with just the right amount of vintage sparkle, and large enough to attract some attention!

A large fabric rose with petals in varying shades of pink (pale pink, hot pink, cotton candy pink) and slight touches of leaf green has been embellished with a repurposed vintage rhinestone clip on earring with a pearlescent center. The metal on the earring is an aged silver, but does show a bit wear giving the flower a lovely vintage feel. There is a green leaf on the back of the flower. I have sewn on a silver pin and finished it off with a bit of pink/white polka dot satin for a more finished look. Looks great pinned to a blouse, jacket, bathing suit, or would also look great pinned onto an elastic or fabric headband! Very versatile! Measures approximately 5 1/2" around.

Will come packaged in tissue paper and tied with a lovely bow!

$30.50
Pretty dreams of pearls, of romance, of ruffles, of love, of feathers falling slowly towards the earth. Whispers, moments, captured in a dream.

A large ruffly flower in a variation of shades from cream, beige, tan to light brown has been embellished with a hand-stitched white glass pearl and clear faceted glass bead center. I added 4 light tan feathers around the center for a bit of whimsy. The back is finished off with a piece of cream felt and a small silver tone pin.
