Asian Paper Bird Fans

Even I grow tired of moaning about the heat! I imagine one day we will finally install central heat & air and my body will have complete season confusion. Anyway, a few years back I found two boxes of vintage Asian paper fans. I started to photograph them to sell and as I went to list them, I just couldn't get my wording right or decide to sell them by the box or individually or even really if I wanted to sell them. Here in Florida, having a ready supply of cute fans isn't a bad thing! Anyway, until I make up my mind, here are some photos of said fans.


 

Sleepytime

Wednesday, September 19th~ Not sleeping well lately. I just wake up every hour. After 4 am, every time I wake up, my mind starts racing and I have a horrid time going back to sleep. I've always struggled with sleep and I think that's exacerbated by caffeine later in the day and just being under a lot of stress. 

Here's some of the stuff I've got listed on eBay at the moment: 

White party GAP dress

Vintage bamboo print halter top

My prized embroidered jacket, I can't believe I'm selling this!

Blue peasant top

Children's Chinese Prince outfit

Another favorite I really don't want to sell- padded Asian brocade jacket

Peacock top

Red Chinoserie jacket- this one you have to go to the auction to see the amazing embroidery on this- pagodas, geishas, birds, oh, my!

Put a Bird on It!

Thursday, June 28, 2012~ I was watching some Portlandia clips and one of my favorite bits is the Put a Bird On It song. I love sparrows and peacocks and robins so I kind of like a cute bird motif, but I have seen the stuff on Etsy that inspired the video!  I'm not sure this is a new trend though. I've sold a lot of vintage items decorated with birds. I just glanced through my shop and, yup, there is still a bunch of bird stuff !

 

 (^The "photo-of-the-day", btw...)






Do you ever "put a bird on it"? Do you have a favorite kind of bird?

   I like beading. I like staging photos. I like when people absolutely love a piece. I like almost everything to do with having a jewelry business. I say almost because the thing I don't like is how much time is involved. I've been on the computer so much this week that my fingers are stiff in the morning. Once I finish updating my shop though, I am taking a break!
