White lace and Promises

Looks like white lace, feels like white lace, it's a pattern of white, cream and ivory and soft gray on a background of charcoal, dusky black, deep coffee brown, sandy tan and patina brassy details.
Its the pattern, it's the texture, and it is inviting and mysterious.

Soft black with white texture woven accents, this is  the caftan, a hippie boho classic. Vintage 60s  kaftan tunic top, is for men and women, and has flared long sleeves.

Distressed painted metal box,  stenciled and painted again and again in white and shades of green. The black faded and chipped stencil lends the coolest industrial thing. 

 Vintage Wedding, Bohemian 70s vintage lace dress has long sleeves and yards of gorgeous lace ruffles.

Simple and sturdy, this bent plywood chair is based on Arne Jacobsen's famous series 7 model. In 1955 he designed  his famous chair, and this is an industrial version of Danish Modern style. With its slim iron legs and sculptural curves, this vintage chair is a pleasure to sit in, and a pleasure to look at.

Spooky baby skirt, a charmer in a babydoll print with a ivory muslin elastic waist, made of  vintage photos of decrepit vintage dolls in dusty gold frames, in shades of ochre, pasty donut, spider web dust and broken cloud white.

and of course White rabbits lace thru the meadows of my mind. 3 sweet bunny rabbit brass and glass necklaces. Hop to it!!

5 days without ....

hanging out on Facehole...or writing a blog...Well here's what I've been doing....

;-)

Soon, it will be Mother's Day....and people will marry....and then of course, the Sunny days will make you all high...and you'll say, "Gee, I need some nice and nifty new things....I feel Good!!"

A beauty...of white pearl charms, white satin ribbon...Romance and hearts...a brass ball locket, a cloisonne heart in deep blue.....since love should be deep or why bother?


lots of little pearly and brass and goldtone charms....and of course....a Vintage key...I attached the strand of charms to the pearls using an A and a B Art Deco letters.....
It can also be worn as a choker...

I made a romantic pin...sweet and old-fashioned. All vintage pieces....a goldtone bow pin with a pearly chain drop with an  I Love You heart vintage brass locket.....awwwww....

Mrs. Parker

Constant use had not worn ragged the fabric of their friendship.

if all I had to do..
if all I wanted to do..
all day,
I'd read and quote Dorothy Parker.

I finished this embellished broken pin.....it had lost 2 of its pink rhinestones, and that left just the holes in the brass stamping......
so a hole must be filled, and I filled it in with brass loops from which I hung brass chains....which is so me..
if it's droopy and falling....I love it.
I hope you do too.

on etsy, thatyountvillegirl......
 It's Queenly.....
a Brass heraldic shape, white enamel, and a brass key......all with patina.
The locket is also enameled with white, and a tiny rose with green leaves...and an oval pearly bead.

Mrs. Parker....
from PoemHunter.........
Born in 1893,  at 23 years old  in "1916, Parker sold some of her poetry to the editor of Vogue, and was given an editorial position on the magazine. In 1917 she married Edwin Pond Parker II, a stockbroker, whom she later divorced. Edwin was wounded in World War I, he was an alcoholic, and during the war he became addicted to morphine.

From 1917 to 1920 Parker worked for Vanity Fair. With two other writers Robert Benchley and Robert Sherwood, Parker formed the nucleus of the Algonquin Round Table, an informal luncheon club held at New York City's Algonquin Hotel on Forty-Fourth Street.
Other members included Ring Lardner and James Thurber. Parker was usually the only woman in the group."

"Alan Rudolph's film Mrs. Parker and the Vicious Circle (1994), starring Jennifer Jason Leigh, Campbell Scott, Matthew Broderick, depicted the life of the author and her friends around the famous Algonquin Round Table."

Surprise ! the 20s mostly.....
