Birdcage Veil Mask

Let me tell you a little story called Why I love Etsy. 


Because I get customers who see this:



And envision this:


 Because when you make a purchase for said customer looking for a vintage citrine brooch, it comes to you like this:


Because I'm sure this fabulous bride will try her veil in every way possible. Because she's cool:


Because I still can't believe every day is full of beautiful, new, shiny things. Shiny people. 



Go visit Chasing Greener Days for lots o' awesome vintage stuff. 

As always, for your own custom veil, hat or headpiece message me here:

FEATURED ON THE WEDDING CHICKS!!!

When I was engaged in 2009 The Wedding Chicks had just busted out of the gates with their DIY wedding blog and needless to say - I was ALL over it. Here we are a measly 3 years later and my work is featured there?!?! This is so awesome I hadnt even dreamt it!! Thank you thank you thank you!

Headpiece Inspiration:


Invitation By Shel Silverstein in The Sidewalk Ends
                                                                                    If you are a dreamer, come in.
If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar,
A hope-er, a pray-er, a magic bean buyer . . .
If you’re a pretender, 
come sit by my fire,
For we have some flax golden tales to spin.
Come in!
Come in!


I love this color palette. Top hat was handmade using a grey silk dupioni, dusty pink satin and tulle. I love gold on anything! Vintage gold leaf found at a flea market in Vermont! The gold/brown goose feather makes it so subtly earthy.


 Could cry over this bouquet by Anthomanic
You may recognize the birdcage veil piece from the Cherry Blossom Collection. This thing seriously looks a-mazing on everyone!! 



This hat looks good at every angle. Mission accomplished.

Please check out the feature on Wedding Chicks for tons and tons of drool worthy images from the shoot. 

Honored to have been a part of it!!

"Not too shabby" Boudoir Shoot

Photos from the mini hat boudoir extravaganza have arrived!!! We've had a trying week here at Two Back Flats so you can imagine how thrilled I was ripping open this envelope...


Alana and I met in college while we were studying Visual Communications and Design and I cannot be more thankful that she still rocks her graphic design magic through Vanity's Edge. In addition to being a smashing photographer, I go ga ga over Alana's feminine, sultry style.

My last minute decision to be a part of A's Shabby Chic inspired boudoir shoot was the best decision I've made in a while. I'm almost thankful I didn't have tons of time to psych myself out. I tend to do that ;) The morning of the shoot, I had to stop myself from chewing off my nails.


Not only did I have zero to be worried about but I had a blasssst with Alana. Being decked out in hats and surrounded by her breezy, romantic set was only half of it. We did not stop laughing the entire day.

Enjoy the following husband approved photos from the shoot! ;)



Remember this hat? Only one will be available verrry soon in my Etsy shop for your summer tea parties...



Any chance to wear these shoes is a chance I'm taking...


This bad ass vintage hat box came from where most of my most cherished vintage finds come from (including my wedding band :)

8227 Main Street
Ellicott City, MD 21043





Though our original "Tea Party Hat" has retired. One rogue petite size is left for one tiny lady...



**Yes, Renn-Festers ... The hat above is a mini tricorn hat. Get excited**
