The other day I was lucky enough to discover the most beautiful filigree vintage brooch, and if you know me, you'll know that vintage things are by far my greatest weakness!
Once I had the brooch in my possession, dozens of 1920's design ideas started flooding in, and I couldn't help but create this jeweled flapper hat!
Are you also a big fan of all things vintage?
