Mirrors, buttons and pendants, oh my!

I made a set of buttons out of my photo booth strip drawing! I'm so smitten with this idea, especially the way that I packaged it, with the buttons sitting on a photo booth strip! :D Available in my shop HERE.

The pendants got one more (and hopefully the last) revamp ... my jewelry supplier discontinued yet another one of my pendant blanks, so I finally switched suppliers (this was the third time she discontinued the one thing I ordered from her, so I figured with my luck the next one I ordered would get discontinued too, lol) and ordered these new ones! I liked my last ones a tiny bit better, but I love these too! I'm ordering like 500 of them so that I don't have to go through this again anytime soon, haha! :) They're available in the shop here -> Eloise and Ramona // Zelda and Becky

I also added four new pocket mirror designs to the shop!! I persist in trying to sell pocket mirrors even though they've never been a big seller for me. But I really think the flapper drawings work well on mirrors, so I'm giving it another go! Maybe one of these designs will finally take off :) They're available in the shop HERE.

Finally, I added personalized bridesmaid pocket mirrors to my shop! They're perfect if you're ordering the matching cards, or they're great on their own as cute little wedding favors! They even have the wedding information -- bride + groom, and wedding date -- inscribed on the side! Available in my shop HERE.

Oh, and I'm busy finishing up my 2012 calendar! I posted a sneak peek on my personal blog last week, if you're interested! It's inspired by Edward Gorey, and I'm super happy with how it's coming along!! Hopefully I'll get to share the finished product by the end of the week. :)

New time lapse & a new drawing!

New original drawing in my shop! It's called "Let's Fall in Love" And I recorded a time-lapse of myself drawing it, starting with a blank page and ending with the finished drawing! I love doing these so much! :)

twenties treasures

I love this authentic 1920's dress! Flapper clothing that has survived to the modern day is usually pretty expensive, and this is no exception, at $428.00! Available from adorevintage on etsy.



A gorgeous bell-shaped cloche from the 1920's, with beautiful copper detailing. Click here to see more photos, including a close up of the copper bow on the side! Available from maudeandlola on etsy.



How adorable is this little kids book? It's from 1928 and the illustrations inside look so precious! Click through to see more photos :) A steal at $14, from mousetrapvintage on etsy.



This beauty is being sold as-is due to some minor damage, but honestly it's amazing that such a delicate piece has held up so well for almost 90 years! This would definitely be something to only pull out of the closet on the most special of occasions, but for only $68 it's totally worth it! Available from adelinesattic on etsy.



I love coming across vintage photos while perusing the 20's vintage online. Imagining up a backstory, trying to figure out who these people are and how their photo ended up for sale online, not tucked away in a family album. Available for $9 on etsy from lindavisa.

Silent Cinema Style: La Sirene Des Tropiques (1927)

new(ish) drawing!

I'm adding temporary tattoos to my shop in the next week or so (exciting!!) so I wanted to design some traditional-tattoo like designs for them. I ended up loving this one so much that it's now available as a print in my shop! It's technically an old drawing (well, about one or two months old) but I think adding the banner & text gives it such a neat look! The words come from a 1920 song by the same name :)

I think I might do this to a few of my drawings with 1920's song lyrics. I'll still have the original available, too, though, in case you want it without the text :) This one is available in my shop here!

Am I Blue? by Annette Hanshaw // image from my shop

Every week on my other blog, Scathingly Brilliant, I do a song of the week feature called "The Melody Lingers On." I thought it would be fun to do a crossover feature here with my favorite 1920's tunes! The title comes from the 1930 song Cheerful Little Earful from the musical Sweet and Low :)

New new new!

A new style of bridesmaid cards! Available in my shop HERE.

Another new version of bridesmaid cards (since this is *flapper* doodle, it was about time I had a 20's style!) Available in my shop HERE.

Baby shower invitations (colors can be customized to pink or blue if you already know the gender of the baby) Available in my shop HERE.

It's a Girl! baby announcements! Available in my shop HERE.

It's a Boy! baby announcements! Available in my shop HERE.

Bachelorette party invitations (I need to re-shoot the photos for this, sorry about the crummy quality!) These will be in the shop later this week!

A virtual e-card version of my flapper doodle telegrams! Available in the shop HERE.

My playing cards are back, slightly revamped with rounded corners. Available HERE.

My best seller, the BFF pendant set, is now available in a much cheaper version for only $5! These are available in the shop HERE. The high quality ones are still available, too! These are just an additional option, not a replacement ;) Here's the link for the original ones.

I'm also carrying some art deco vintage now! The stock is going quick & I only have two (one of a kind!) items left! Click here to see the selection. Also I've had numerous requests for digital versions of my drawings (for use in blog headers, etc.) so I now have a listing specifically for that. For $25 you get a large-scale png, jpeg or pdf (your choice) to use however you please (except, of course, for re-sale). That's listed HERE. And finally I only have two of this tote bag left, then they're gone forever! I'm not going to reprint this design.

ps. I'm going to start doing a weekly print giveaway here, so make sure to stop back next Monday!! :)
