I don't really feel like I have enough that I want to part with at the moment to launch an etsy store just for it, but that is always an option, too (if mid-century pieces were easier to come by around these parts, I would soooo have an etsy vintage clothing shop in a heartbeat!). Selling on Facebook through the various vintage swap and sell groups there is another route, as is good, ol' eBay (which is by no means my favourite option). I'll give it all some more thought and probably aim to do something of this nature early in the New Year, if I can bring myself to part with a few things.<br /><br />Your autumn jewelry sounds so wonderfully pretty! I am perpetually smitten with anything that involved acorns (they're so cute!).<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-19911254258283916202013-11-13T00:57:13.788-08:002013-11-13T00:57:13.788-08:00Just so very, very lovely! <3

You could have a "shop my wardrobe" sale one day. I've seen other vintage girls do so. Unfortunately, i don't fit the same size as you, so I cannot benefit from it. I love the scatter pins. I also have a small collection of autumn jools, like leaves and acorns. :)Sannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00961726199606387103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-48242153247434163582013-11-12T09:35:45.036-08:002013-11-12T09:35:45.036-08:00Thank you very much for your absolutely lovely com...Thank you very much for your absolutely lovely comment, dear Aya.

Those little brooches are great - they are a new one on me, and make me think of those flying ducks that used to go on chimney breasts years ago (if you know the ones I mean). Autumn has been late here, too. I am sure that usually there are more leaves down by now, but today the temperature has dropped a bit and it feels somewhat wintery, so I expect we will see a change soon.

That&...Thank you very much, darling gal! *Blush!* <br /><br />That's a really great question and compliment in one. I think that snoods can work on just about everyone, especially those who have longer hair to help fill them out. A big part of the trick is to find the most flatter spot (or spots, as the case may be) on your head at which to have the top part hit. Once you've got that figured out, you'll want to tuck a couple (or however many are needed) bobby pins discretely into your hair, catching both some of the snood and some of your hair in the same go, to help hold them in place. <br /><br />Some ladies find like to wear Victory rolls or faux (rolled) bangs or pomps with the snoods, which can be a great look, too, and worth trying if you haven't been feeling them (snoods) with simpler styles in the front. Ditto for partner hair flowers (or bows) with snoods. You can ever partner snoods with hats, if you like. Have fun, experiment and before you know, I bet you'll hit on a snood look that you love, too.<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-52625985642364813132013-11-08T04:46:25.872-08:002013-11-08T04:46:25.872-08:00Aww, thank you so much, honey!

I think that might be something that could be done here - by someone with more sewing talent than I, mind you. If I decide to hold onto this dress much longer, I'll definitely have to look into seeing if a local seamstress could do that for me. Thank you again for the excellent idea!<br /><br />Good eye!

I melt for vintage maple leaf pins, it's both the autumn lover and the canuck in me there. :)<br /><br />Same here! I love keeping my eyes peeled for vintage gloves with delightful, unexpected details, lengths, patterns, etc. Often a fascinating pair of gloves like that can serve as the basis around which to style a whole ensemble.<br /><br />Truly, thank you again!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-2712409540548805762013-11-08T03:30:48.218-08:002013-11-08T03:30:48.218-08:00Hello dear Anthea, as my mother very sweetly told ...Hello dear Anthea, as my mother very sweetly told us many times when I was growing up, there is no such thing as a "stupid question", fear not. Yes, I have been drawing (I have almost no natural eyebrows any more - much like hair on my head) my eyebrows in a more rounded, less pointy in the middle, kind of shape. <br /><br />In part because I was no longer as a crazy about the pointier shape, and also because of two comments I've received in recent months (one was mean, the other, let's just say, impact-ful) about them. I like this shape a lot more and will likely stick with it most of the time in the weeks and months to come. <br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68478080558708390282013-11-08T03:05:04.815-08:002013-11-08T03:05:04.815-08:00This might be a stupid question, but have you chan...This might be a stupid question, but have you changed something about your eye brows?
