Talula

I wanted to share with you guys one of my fave jewelry makers on etsy.

Talula

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."

Treasury Thank Yous!

We were very fortunate over the christmas to see some really gorgeous treasurys on the front page of Etsy.com including some of our pieces. In fact one night while I was sleeping, I awoke at 4 in the morning and felt an urge to check our etsy shop online, I snuck into the kitchen and turned on my little Itouch (IPod) where I was able to log on straight away without making too much noise in the house, and low and behold there was one of our pieces on the front page just as I logged on. I tell you my ESP (Extra Sensory Perception) was in full swing that night! lol In facct that happens now and again, I will get an overwhelming urge to check in online at the most inconvenient of times only to find a nice surprise there that I might have missed otherwise!

We wanted to personally thank those that regularly support our work and include us in their treasuries on etsy. Huge thanks to Talula, Spelfenmeisje and JealousyDesign for the awesome collections above that made it onto the front page this month. :)

A wee thank you token is on its way to you all. xxx
