Matchmaker, matchmaker...

I recently finished a sweet little pair of earrings featuring Sonoran dendritic ryolite and thought I might like to accessorize the accessory...



So I began with a lovely piece of clothing from a much admired designer...


A linen jacket from Lois, of 13 Threads (check out the details!)

Then I thought I might like to add this vintage 1960's dress from Vera Vague to wear under Lois' jacket...


as well as these antique Edwardian shoes from Vera's collection, that fascinate me.



And from Dawn, of La Touchables, a beautiful little theater bag, lovingly pieced together from vintage and handwoven fabric.


Finally, I'd add a few of these lovely little square sterling bangles from jewelry designer, Su at Quercus Silver


Now all I need is a place to go...

  8. Gorgeous Betsy and a lovely surprise to come back too! Now if you just add a brolly and some wellies to this stunning outfit then it would be perfect to wear to any of the Edinburgh Festival events just beginning here in this very wet city! But I would much rather come to Oregon x
