Quaintrelle Life: February 2014
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Friday, February 7, 2014. My fella is in Austin right now where apparently it's even grey, cold, and sucky there. The groundhog gave us a big "F U" for waking him up and pointing him at early risers buy saddling us with 6 more weeks of winter, so I'm not expecting the sun to swoop out any time soon. But I need Spring already gad dammit! Trying to shake off the dark moods that have been haunting me lately as well as the weather by making fun little useless things. like pin wheels! I kinda think with a bit...

Quaintrelle Life: December 2013
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Friday, December 6, 2013. Drawing of an Old Era. Rolling up my sleeves and using a few personal obsessions to start chipping my through a personal fear. The obsessions: a love of early 20'th century illustration. More specifically the racy kind of tricolor proto pin ups that would appear in magazines like "La Vie Parisienne" or "Le Sourire" during the late 1910's-early 1920's, and of course all things rococo, (something those illustrators were pretty obsessed with as well, vive la panniers! So obviously ...

http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013/09/dream-deco-teacup.html
Thursday, September 19, 2013. Ok, my teacup Embargo hasn't been going well. I had said "I just need one Paragon teacup" but now I've also got a 2nd one. But hear me out! See, I fell in love with the "Deco Bloom" cup from the Wedgwood Harlequin collection. Since the line launched they've. An identical cup showed up on Ebay, complete with side plate! The crazy thing was the auction cup wasn't Wedgwood. My Paragon Pink Hydrangea Trio. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile.

Quaintrelle Life: December 2012
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Wednesday, December 19, 2012. Quaintrelle do everything in style, even last minute gifting! For anyone looking for a last second holiday gift we have some new designs for patch boxes in at my online store, to go with our popular velvet flocked beauty spots. Little mirrored porcelain boxes with golden hinges just like the antique patch boxes of the 18th century. They were a popular gift in bygone days and make a lovely little gift in these modern times for vintage girls (and dandies too). One cup recently...

Quaintrelle Life: September 2013
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 27, 2013. Cute as a Garter Button. Frippery du jour over here at quaintrelle towers (ok duplex). You probably know the things I mean. Little silk covered buttons printed or painted with sultry eyed flapper faces from the 1920's. Fashionable girls could display their modern and irreverent attitudes with these flirty faces peeking out from under. You can often find them for sale on places like easy or ebay, but as a girl who likes ribbons it seemed like a fun thing to make from scratch.

Quaintrelle Life: Faking the Frippery
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013/09/faking-frippery.html
Monday, September 16, 2013. It's possible that one of my favorite things to design and. Collect in the world is costume jewelry. Growing up I used to scour my favorite antique shops for their sparkiest pieces. I'm a die hard magpie and costume jewelry could always transform an outfit and make me sparkle like a duchess! But not like a princess because that's too much of a pain). I've been craving some deco gems to ad to my wardrobe lately, and despite being seeing some amazing period precious stone pieces...

http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 15, 2013. I love my vintage, I love my Ghoulia, and I love to keep the 2 things as close together as possible! A while back I did a couple of custom monster High dolls dressed up in real world versions of their fashion influences,. A proper, elegant, lolita Draculaura, and 2 straight 60's Ghoulias. The 2nd one with black gingham trousers I sold, this dotty darling I kept! There are some more photos from this set over on the main Dolly Daydream site. Tuesday, March 5, 2013. One of the latest...

Quaintrelle Life: January 2013
http://quaintrellelife.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Wednesday, January 16, 2013. A few months ago I discovered, and became really interested in 1920s boudoir dolls. I love them because they had such a short run, just though the 20's and 30's, and are so perfectly frivolous! You can spot them quite often in old movies, and they show up fairly regularly in photos of film stars and flappers through out the 20's and 30's. From cute but beat up to "I can't believe it stayed so clean for so long! She looks like a Constance so that's what she's called. There's w...
