A TOUCH OF TINSEL
For those of you who know don’t know about Tinsel Trading Company , you are in for a treat. It’s the most incredible place where one can find exquisite vintage beads, buttons, ribbons, threads, fabric and the list goes on. A lot of my goodies come from there. I love their unique sequins, trims and fabric flowers. I set a couple of hours aside whenever I’m in the Bead District because there is always something new to check out at this jewel of a store.
Recently I was there looking for some inspiration for a bouquet project I’m working on, and I took some shots of their vintage flower wall — it is to die for! If you saw the recent JCrew catalogue with the lady wearing a lightweight coat and a cluster of flowers on her lapel — I was told they came from this shop. There is so many different ways you can use these beauties: Put them on your hair, dress up a present, use them as place-cards or attach them to your dress!
Next time you visit New York make sure to put it on your to-do-list!
