More ones that fall into the beautiful/elegant zone. :)<br /><br />I think that circuses, especially in North America, are a lot rarer than they used to be. I haven't seen one come through our town in many years now. I hope that you're able to make it to one some day. I'd really love to see Cirque du Soleil, unlike most of my relatives, I haven't yet and sooo want to. The snippets of performances that I've seen online always look so breathtaking!<br /><br />Thank you very much for both of your great comments this weekend. Have a beautiful week ahead, my friend!<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-71320919078733774222015-04-26T17:54:39.038-07:002015-04-26T17:54:39.038-07:00Those hankies are absolutely adorable!

Goodness, do I have a (more than a...) few of those items that I regret not purchasing, too. Top amongst which is an aqua 40s/50s cartwheel at 2 or 3 three years ago (someone else "BINed" it on eBay before I'd saved up enough to do the same). I hope that you love these delightfully fun shoes, if you give them a spin. <br /><br />Have a beautiful week,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-37079448898290969412015-04-21T07:45:16.998-07:002015-04-21T07:45:16.998-07:00Those red and white polka dot shoes are darling!

The trapeze is my favorite, my imagination has the fishnets, dramatic makeup and costume worn and Baroque at the same time and very sparkly red shoes. I'm complicated, I know!

I've never supported circuses for the whole ethics issue concerning animals (and I've never actually attended one myself), but I do agree that the circus theme rings well with vintage style clothing. I wouldn't mind owning a circus-themed novelty print dress (that balloon and clown one you have listed is super cute!), as long as I know my purchase does not contribute to the continuation of inhumane treatment of circus animals :(. Lovely post, regardless! <3<br /><br />xo, Serli<br />www.lesoleilchic.blogspot.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10705698527016818025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-82773429681717863282015-04-20T23:26:51.678-07:002015-04-20T23:26:51.678-07:00Oh, the pop of colors made me instantly happy this...Oh, the pop of colors made me instantly happy this early morning!<br />I am not a big fan of the circus (nor (smiling) clowns for that matter), but this post I did love!

I haven't been to the circus in a long time either, but I love watching videos from Cirque de Soliel (I've horribly misspelled that, I'm sure) and other things like that. It's amazing the sort of things people can do with their own bodies, without having to exploit animals for entertainment. Contortionists, sword swallowers, fire eaters, tightrope walkers and trapeze artists - it's all just as amazing.<br />I love the theme and the choices you made to go along with it, very fun. Those earrings are just divine!Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06827840216337511678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68643839237914409102015-04-20T11:08:04.548-07:002015-04-20T11:08:04.548-07:00I'm not a fan of using animals in circus acts ...I'm not a fan of using animals in circus acts either but the circus is like candy for the eye with all its marvellous colours. <br />Kids books with circus trains where the giraffe's head is sticking out, lions in cage cars and brightly coloured signs were always a draw for me and still is if I can find them while thrifting.

The balloon earrings are a true masterpiece, I had never seen anything like them. The bunny bracelet is also a great piece. <br />Like you, I too attended circuses while growing up- never once after I was coherent enough to understand what was going on there- where I live they're trying to pass a law that forbids any circuses that have performances that include animals...<br />Lorenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16720997862417551402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-40952195867765086852015-04-20T08:31:48.682-07:002015-04-20T08:31:48.682-07:00jessica! did you plant some spyware in my system? ...jessica! did you plant some spyware in my system? ;-)<br />R. and i saw a circus show on saturday!!!!! i teeny tiny family circus, 4 adults and 3 kids - 2, 9, 12 years old. and some ponies, 2 goats and a dromedar. it was really magic and heartwarming. and sooo much fun!!!<br />and fun are the items you show here! perfect for a sunny spring sunday with or without a circus in town :-)<br /><3 <3 <3bahnwärterinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02032478343344432338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-8672110934546161162015-04-20T05:49:13.243-07:002015-04-20T05:49:13.243-07:00All the colors!

I often look out for circus themed items as I work in a haberdashery called Ribbon Circus and my friends who own it like a bit of vintage circus stuff.

The red shoes are fabulous, they went right on my wish list. Wishing you a lovely day, dear.

I heartily agree about the whole circus+animals=no thing, I have stopped attending Colorado's Renaissance festival for this same reason, as they have Elephant rides (awful cramped small pen where they walk in a circle all day) and a big cat show by a man who has past animal rights law violations. Icky, just ick! Anyway, in better circus related ideas, you must read the book The Night Circus if you haven't already!
