Of course, if these pieces were broken and are being recycled, then that's pretty cool.Wild Tea Partyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16318743106207121648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979988370137965521.post-38273605966536872262010-08-10T11:01:30.847-04:002010-08-10T11:01:30.847-04:00I think I lean towards the side of preservation, h...I think I lean towards the side of preservation, how about if in 5 years dress clips became the new rage de rigueur again,but they've all been turned into earring during the assemblage craze five years prior. Whose to say what truelly is obsolete, perspective is a funny thing.<br /><br />I think it's a great idea for damaged pieces that may otherwise end up discarded. I don't mind repurposing a piece thoughtfully if it does not compramise the original integrity. Like as in shortening a vintage skirt but leaving the material in the hem so it can be returned to it's original length down the road, you know after the fad has passed.<br /><br />I can appreciate the jewelry so long as I believe it's recycling damaged pieces, otherwise it's like poaching history.<br /><br />**And I have yet to start watching Madmen, I guess I am now officially all alone on this one;)The Church of Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16326610659398345640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979988370137965521.post-67805365518319110352010-08-10T09:54:47.003-04:002010-08-10T09:54:47.003-04:00One of my favorite places to spend time is here: h...One of my favorite places to spend time is here: http://www.etsy.com/shop/BroadStreet<br /><br />I found Sara at the Shadow Art Fair last winter, and I fell really hard for her work. I think her vintage assemblages are amazing and special.Jacquelinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11470182607788633681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979988370137965521.post-77496791002849284792010-08-10T09:45:02.645-04:002010-08-10T09:45:02.645-04:00I hear you!

Knee-length 1950s dresses should not be altered to mini length just to appeal to young folk. Then again, that no-name 70s maxi-dress looks great and positively wearable again when shortened. I think it all depends on how it's done. (Or I'm a hypocrite! Equally possible.)<br /><br />These are interesting pieces.Karen/Small Earth Vintagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08077078663239991329noreply@blogger.com
