Vintages' Exclusive Los Gatos Items
Los Gatos is a wonderful little town in the foothills of the Santa Cruz Mountains. We get visitors all year round, but always see more of them on holiday weekends and in the summer. If you are visiting our little town, or inviting someone to come on over, why not take a little memento of the visit to Los Gatos. These are available in our Los Gatos Shop or online.
Mixed Media Art
We recently saw some interesting assemblage art pieces and it made me think of the mixed media, assemblage and found objects art that we have at Vintages. Love this type of creativity as it is not just artistic, it is often personal and always eco-friendly. See some of what we have here ...
Just a recently we got this marvelous example of Victorian hairwork ... a lacy collar with hair and Whitby jet beads. This is a set with a pair of earrings included. Gorgeous. Read more about this fascinating tradition and check out the details on this collar and earring set.
Victoriana Online Magazine has a lot of excellent descriptions and history of Victorian fashion and accessories. Everything from jewelry to hats to dresses and more. As a followup to the post in our blog about a fabulous Victorian Hairwork Collar Necklace, read more about the fascinating practice of mourning jewelry and specifically hairwork jewelry in this article.
