Circus Candy and Sparkly Things

This past week I found that I was really inspired by vintage circus and sideshow posters. The types of performers that are documented is fascinating. I was drawn to the costumery of the clowns and female acrobats which lead me to vintage jewelry. The beautiful patinas of old costume jewelry gives you a feel of their history and gives them a romantic aura. The combination of my love for vintage jewelry and the circus somehow drew me to the colorful and lighthearted romance of candy. The idea of candy as an edible jewel that ones admirer gives is another timeless romantic idea. This week was all about the vintage romantic.
