Happy September! I've been thoroughly romanced, ready for fall and all things cozy following the new venture and adventures of  Dunes and Duchess --the creation (part home accessory line/part love story) of  my favorite magazine stylist and editor, Stacy Kunstel and photographer, Michael Partenio.  Follow along on their blog for more... xo

art and heirlooms...

Thanks to Amy's Storque article, I got myself in gear last week and made a few new pieces for my Etsy shop. Which was hard to do as we are currently homeless but blessed to be staying with my in-laws for the time being. I was able to visit home recently and my mom and I spent some time sorting through boxes of old family treasures- many of which I used in these pieces- my Aunt Helen's costume jewelry, and our great- grandmother's amazing millinery bridal headpiece. (Don't worry, I was careful and we kept many special pieces for the future- but most is better preserved in art, right? Anyway, I hope they would be pleased.) xo
