White Wednesday: Vintage Millinery

I can't get enough millinery! This time of year, when the garden suffers from summer heat, paper and fabric flowers decorate the house as everlasting bouquets. Above is a group of vintage sprigs from Japan displayed in a footed cloisonne vase. The beach scene in the background is a painting from several Christmases ago; it's my absolute favorite place in town besides home.

Zooming in... made with meticulous attention to detail, these blossoms are nearly as good as the real thing!

They're also displayed in an antique sterling pitcher. I just love the handle featuring Mercury.

Be sure to visit Faded Charm for more pretties in white!

Old Stock Flowers and Leaves

We've just finished adding some absolutely gorgeous old stock flowers and leaves to the shop plus some beautiful contemporary handmade pieces. Above is a close up of a vintage German sprig of embossed velvet leaves with pewter colored berries in saphire blue.

Above we have more velvet leaves. The hot pink (yes, Tracy, I know ... pink!) and blue are vintage, the ombre on the left is contemporary. And below we have two colors of vintage German fabric narcissus separated by newly made red velvet forget me nots.

To say spring has sprung is an understatement! And these pretty flowers have so many uses, especially with wedding season starting up. Can't you see a gorgeous bride's bouquet of vintage millinery flowers?

Check everything out here in our etsy shop.
