Vintage Millinery Fruit

We have a large selection of vintage and current handmade spun cotton and lacquered millinery fruit from Germany and Japan. These are for more than just hats - you can make candle rings, della robia wreaths, Christmas tree garlands, intersperse them in bouquets, add to Easter baskets - lots of projects!
They all have stems, which makes them easy to attach baskets, bouquets and wreaths.
This is a just a sample of what we have.
You can see the rest on our website or in our Etsy store.

Fall Harvest: Vintage Composite Fruit & Stamen

It may not officially be fall, but judging by all the vintage fruit we've been working with lately, you'd think we just picked the bounty of the season! Berries, chili peppers, cherries, apples, peaches and even almonds are just a few of our new old stock fruit and stamen:

These are adorable for decorating bottle brush trees and wreaths and for making decorative napkin holders. Most were made in 1950s Germany and still have their original tags; a few are from 1950s Japan. All have been packed away for decades and are in excellent condition. You can find them here, in our etsy shop.
