Gals,
I just had to share this recent snap from Dad. It doesn't get much more "Steampunk" than this!!!
Its a photo taken of a local chemist/pharmacy in my hometown, Clonmel. Unbelievably this establishment was open when I was a child and Mam used to purchase ointments and interesting lotions in gorgeous glass apothecary style jars with labels and twine on them. Its got such antiquated character, almost reminds me of a set from a Tim Burton film!!
Folk often ask us where we get our inspiration from and quite simply a local building like this will fuel the creative juices every time! Honestly, can you not see a jacket in this picture??
In Style....

I wanted to share with you guys one of my fave jewelry makers on etsy.
I covet after these stunning creations on a daily basis, if ever there was a perfect accompaniment to our tattered couture creations, these would be what I would envisage to compliment our aesthetic perfectly. Talula uses vintage findings, antiques and trinkets in a romantic blend of artistry and storytelling. Each piece appears like an old tale to me, from a far away time and place, I just love them all.
Another reason to love Talula can be found in her fabulously eccentric profile description...
"talula bourdon*. Former secret agent, turned circus performer, excelling in trapeze artistry and the high-wire. Now residing in quaint Texas town, living incognito as ranch wife and mother of two. During spare time enjoys designing one of a kind heirloom jewelry, drinking very dirty vodka martinis, dreaming of living in Paris with extremely handsome husband, and becoming gypsy fortune teller to the rich and famous.*bourdon is french for bumblebee."

Hi guys,
I'm still here................
As you guys all know I have been making trackways through the list of custom orders in the shop of late and wanted to share this beauty with you before it leaves the store on its merry way to an awesome client across the pond.
I was given the colours black,ivory and pewter to create a matching set that would compliment a very elegant black dress for a VIP wedding guest. I have to say had I not been asked to do this colour combo, I might never have come across such a cool combination. I really love the richness of how these little guys came out and I am also very excited that they are going to be worn too as a pair, I think they will look really funky with a refined black number!

I have been working on a new bag for my pal SimplySus on etsy. Sus has another one of my bags and this time we went for froo froo with bells and whistles on, ie all the trimmings. I love how this turned out and I am really growing fond of grey at the moment. *note to self, check out what an attraction to grey might signafy in colour therapy!*
Anybody know?

More tattered loveliness of the corsage variety, available here!
These corsages would lend very well to bridal and especially if you have bridesmaids! If your looking for a set made in any size or colour let me know, I can custom make these to your specifics. ;)

Ok, by now you guys know that I like me a bit of olde worlde now and again, well for this latest piece I did everything bar feed it to the neighbours dog to get that old, antiquated look on something brand new. I think I managed to distress it enough, in fact it looks like something out of an old historical museum! Job well done I would say! ;)
