A few weeks ago as I was digging through baskets of antique sewing supplies at a flea market, I came across a big bag of vintage feathers. I wasn't quite sure what I wanted to do with them at the time so I put them away and nearly forgot about them. As my thoughts turned to planning my autumn wardrobe, I remembered that bag of feathers and pulled them out. It seems that over the summer I became quite addicted to wearing a flower in my hair. Rarely did I leave the house with one and it even came to be that I felt quite unfinished without one. I think that the feathers will become my must have accessory for autumn.
So far I've fashioned one headband and two haircombs using the feathers and some of the vintage buttons I collected in Baltimore. I'm saving some in hopes of finding a vintage hat, maybe a nice velvet one, to decorate.

Did you make this beautiful things? It is wonderful. I love it. I am a brazilian jornalist and live in Brazil. Sometimes I see your blog: is very interesting! I have one to called Fábrica de Moda (www.fabricademoda.blogspot.com) and I invite you to see someday. Sorry by my english! Kisses!
Love it, love it, love it!!!
you look amazing in these! great idea!
Have you considered selling them?
they are amazing!
Thanks everyone! I'm really excited about wearing them this fall.
gabsterr: Since these are a random vintage find, I don't think I have enough supplies to make enough to sell. Hopefully I'll luck out and run across some more and then I can.
So far feathers in the hair haven't appealed to me much, until I saw this post. I'm not starting to lean towards liking them.
i really love the first headband pictured.
fabulos blog.
Oh I was hoping these were for the store (lol). They are super cool, I love that look on you.

Those feathers are amazing, what a score and so perfect for fall hair accessorizing!
i love wearing feathers in my hair. yours look beautiful :)
You are always so innovative! When I first heard the idea I thought it would be strange, but it looks very beautiful. Can't wait to see what you wear with it during autumn.
If you find more feathers, please please please sell some on ebay. Or maybe just make a post about HOW you made them? They are so beautiful and better than anything I've seen available at the moment.
XOXO

this one!
i bought one of these headbands from a girl that makes them, and spent a lot. then i was in "michaels" crafts and hobby store and found them in the feather section. identical, all ya gotta do is attatch a clip or bobby pin to the big water droplet shaped patch of cloth with the feathers glued on it it. its like 3 dollars. go diy! ciao
This was so informative. Thank you! I'm glad I found your blog.
