The Dark Days from Yesteryear



         I'm finally back.

I'm so pleased to express that all is well, and my inspiration is only blooming  for all things "Flapper". My modern day life is always an adventure, and adding my twist of flapper inspiration to my flocks truely does set my heart at ease, for I'm not from this era.

This blog for me is an outward expression of where my "modern day flapper" presence comes from.

So at this moment, I've fallen into a 1930's "Great Depression" era mood, and these photographs hold that inspiration.

Enjoy.

A Flapper's~ Garbo Jacket








             I'm an absolute devotee of the great movie star Greta Garbo~ She's so iconic for her fabulous style and movement of the "Flapper" look in the late 20's and early 30's.
             This Fox trimmed Evening Jacket was a piece that happened to come into my work one day, and found out that a customer was wanting to sell it. I looked at the cut and style of this jacket and immediately thought of Garbo. So now this little jacket has a new home, and is now a fanastic piece to my collection.
