This mini-collection comes from a fabulous find. I came across these wonderful porcelain pieces in a very unlikely place and snapped them up immediately. I was completely enchanted with their sweet, 1930s feel. I’ll be adding a few more pieces to this collection as I’m able to get photos posted.
I showed the collection for the first time last weekend at the K11 craft show and nearly sold out of the bobby pins. I’ll be posting the remaining few on my Etsy store, so do take advantage if they appeal.

Just a few items to celebrate in style. I love the sparkle of paillettes. They feel like both a holiday standard, yet totally fresh and modern.

Each unique brooch is made from many layers of heavyweight art paper petals assembled by hand into a flower form. The vivid colors and charming patterns come together in a lovely collage of texture and shape. The flowers have then been sealed in a multi-step process to protect them from the elements. Each design is one of a kind.
Flower brooches measure approximately 3″ in diameter and have a pin back.
Inspirations for this collection: poetry & prose, café society, grand libraries, vintage ephemera, fine millinery.
