Shop News: La Bohéme Series

One of my favorite handmade bridal garter series in my Etsy shop, The Sparkling Cocktail, is La Bohéme. This garter series evokes the Flapper era when ladies used decorative garters to keep their stockings up all day. The peacock feather is a symbol of their style and grace. 

All of my garters are made up of a minimum of five parts; two kinds of laces, satin ribbon on the front and back, and elastic in the casing. No stretch lace, here! 

The La Bohéme series is no different. I use blonde, pink, and latte peacock feathers mixed with different color laces and satins. Listings are for either sets or single tossers.

Mid-Week Inspiration: Pink and Black

Pink and black together is a classic color combination. For me it never gets old. I especially love the blush pale pinks, or ballet pink as I like to refer to it as, paired with black.  What do you think? Do you like this color combination? 

Here are some lovely vintage items in pink and black I found on Pinterest: 

Art Deco compact or cigarette case. 

The resolution on this photo is not so great, but it's too pretty not to share. I am so in love with this dress! 

Love this one too! 1950's. 

And a vintage cup and saucer set. Love!

All of this inspiration has shown up in my crochet projects. Here's one of my fingerless gloves in ballet pink with black tipping and bow. I also made a pair in the reverse. Currently available in my Etsy shop; The Sparkling Cocktail.
