A lot of you were curious about what I bought at Tinsel Trading last week, so I thought I'd show you a few of my goodies. I couldn't leave without some authentic vintage "tinsel"....
Aren't these old metallic threads beautiful?
It was hard to choose from that wall of millinery flowers, but I am always partial to my forget-me-nots. Especially when they come in velvet!
You have to admit that the new reproduction variety pale in comparison to these beauties.
I am also crazy for aqua blue millinery flowers. This one had the prettiest petals...
So delicate.
I already had some of these in my collection, so I was so excited to find more...
The colors are the perfect faded pastels.
These pink blossoms were too pretty to pass up - so shabby and sweet.
I also had to get some of these millinery stamens. They are so intricate and I love the colors...
I have so much more to show you, but it will have to wait for another day. I'll be back tomorrow with Target Tuesday!
Have a great day!
:-)

Jessica...I love what you picked out. I went to Tinsel Trading for the first time 3 years ago. I was in awe. I just stood there with my mouth open. I didn't buy nearly enough flowers, so am hoping to go back soon. You have a wonderful eye for beauty.
Have a lovely day.

SO pretty! SO SO pretty. I went on-line to see what they had. How awesome of a place is that? I just might have to make a "virtual" trip back there and pick up some pretty things for the Holidays.
Thanks for sharing - now that the rest of us are drooling at our computer monitors . . . LOL
