-The Etsy Detective- Curated and Curious Finds: Rhinestones are a girls best friend

[Click here to buy this find]

I get lots of requests from friends on what to post, ranging from "Find me blazer buttons" (the please is inferred) to "Hey girl, my Thai tailor is in town and I need some rare vintage silk for a smoking jacket I'm having made."

However, the most common refrain is "Do more wedding stuff!" This weekend, a bride asked me to look into some vintage costume pieces for her upcoming nuptials, and I'll tell you what, its been a hell of a lot easier than tracking down bolts of luxurious silk paisley.

I realize this blog is meant to be curated, but I had a really hard time paring today's finds down, so I just decided to add them all. Its my blog, I do what I want. From something blue to little buzzy rhinestone bees to snowflakes fit for an ice queen, I found a little something for everyone. All under $50.

There is something so romantic about vintage earrings. No matter the era they are always magnificent. Thrilled to be cast among these vintage beauties, Mr. Bogoff is in lovely company. The kind of company that reminds us of the noteworthy beauty of our past.
