There are rosebud headbands in pewter, turquoise and sage, and rosebud belts in chocolate, navy, marigold and turquoise. There are also brand new pin corsages in several colors. They are so sweet for fall because you can pin them on blazers and cardigans. I've backed them in my favorite 100% wool felt (this is not your mother's thin craft felt, trust me), which makes them nice and sturdy and gives them a great feel.
Sidenote - I think we need to bring brooches back, people. I have a few vintage brooches that I love, because they make even old, boring coats feel special. Sometimes I stick them on blouses or belts. If you are super stylish, you could pin one on a fabulous hat and pull it off.
I thoroughly enjoyed putting this update together. And thanks again to my lovely sister for being my model. We had lots of fun shooting the photos together (we used one of my favorite family heirlooms, a hand crocheted tablecloth, as our backdrop). Hop over to the shop to see more pictures.
oh, what a lovely variation - and so perfect for fall! in related news, there's an excellent "talk of the town" piece in this week's new yorker on madeline albright's love of pins. clearly she needs to wear one of yours, no?
ReplyDelete...and we are all going to ignore how i can't spell "madeleine" at nine in the morning. come to me, large cup of coffee...
ReplyDeletethe orange ones are especially darling with the way the edge darkens. just beautiful
ReplyDeleteoh my word, that pewter is to die for. Okay, and everything else, really -- fabulous work!!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love the belts and pins! But now I'm torn between the marigold and the navy. The marigold seems to have an edge, though...
ReplyDeleteEverything is so lovely, Rachel! I'm particularly found of the belts!
ReplyDeleteI totally agree about brooches!! I love them and have been trying to bring them back for the last year or so! I will def be looking at yours - they are beautiful!

ReplyDeleteHi Rachel- I just tagged you with the Kreativ Blogger award. I don't typically do this type of thing so I am not the least bit offended should you decide to forgo. Just thought it might be fun during baby waiting time. You can get all the details on my site. Much love!
ReplyDeleteThose new corsages are wonderful! I completely agree that brooches need to come back. I see them around and they really do just dress up a boring coat or sweater.
ReplyDeleteI'm so there. I wear brooches now and then because I'm allergic to metals and can't wear much else jewelry, but I dream of a vast collection so I can wear one every day. These are gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI have a bunch of my grammie's broaches (she collected them religiously)...i've been putting them in my ponytails. Way cute!
ReplyDeleteAdorable new goodies! The Ladies Activity Club is celebrating our 4th anniversary tonight with a party to make headbands and brooches based on your great instructions :)
ReplyDeleteI love the belts! Love!
ReplyDeleteoooh i love the little brooches. really cute. and perfecto for fall.
ReplyDeletebeautiful!! and i love the idea of sticking a broach on a belt!! too much fun :)
ReplyDeleteamen to brooches!
ReplyDeleteHi- Just wanted to say that I love the new goodies for the shop, and also, that I love brooches. I have about 5 that were my grandmothers and I wear them all the time- on ribbons as belts, grouped together on my jackets, and also on wraps and scarves. We definitely need to start bringing them back- good to hear someone else loves them!
ReplyDeleteThe headbands are incredible...would be perfect for my bridesmaids!
ReplyDeleteWow, you've been busy! And I am in total support of bringing brooches back.
ReplyDeleteAmazing!!! One, or two, of those little corsages has my name written all over it!
ReplyDeleteRachel,
ReplyDeleteI'm with you on the booches! I love them. I'm also totally digging your take with the corsage. Beautiful. You could totally market those to brides for weddings.
oh that yellow is gorgeous against the gray!
ReplyDeleteLove the update and new brooches. I love brooches for my fall/winter coats.
ReplyDeleteI'm loving the marigold - I think yellow is totally underrated in general.
ReplyDeleteI think I need to order some for holiday presents....
ReplyDeletepve
