Bliss St. and Indigo Heirlooms

Glittery gold and silver screams “where is the party?!” Apparently the party is over at Tiddleywink’s Etsy shop where vintage is queen and shop’s selection of metallic vintage is oh-so alluring.

Retro metallic shoes and purses are being routinely being featured in top international magazines. The fashion revivals in this shop are designer re-dos of vintage fashion.

If only I could find vintage pair of shoes that fit.

Sweet notes of music float in the air. In a time when asia meant mystery, romance and exotic this pin was all the rage. Homes were filled with music players, mother of pearl,and souviners of the “orient” most bought in America in local stores.

This fifties vintage  pin measures 1 3/4-in by 1-in. Accents in black enamel

I would say this was steampunk before steampunk was cool but when wasn’t it? Vernians were probably the first to love the style and more want the tech, but it was before their time.

It was the eighties, steampunk wasn’t called steampunk yet and I with my boyfriend when an artist walked in to his mom’s shop. She had made this pin and quite a few other pieces. (another is listed on etsy) I bought half of them. Most of my friends didn’t understand how cool they were. I don’t wear pins so I would like to find a buyer that will love and enjoy this piece instead of letting it sit in a draw for more years.

This unsigned handmade artist clock pin measures 1 3/4-in by 1 1/2-in

This pendant has a lot of detail in the enamel coloring. Notice the bluing of the fin to make to look like it is in motion, the stripping of the scales and the touches of red one of the hardest colors to enamel. Each well of brass is filled separately. This is a fish with personality

There is an air hole in the bottom (so it doesn’t explode in the kiln shows in picture), a small chip on the fin (see pic three) and separation that happened during firing(also in pic three). None of this takes away from the artistry of the piece.

Size: Just over 1 1/2in by 1 3/8in
Material: Brass, enamel(glass)
Circa: 1970′s
