All the pintucking and swirling and plushness plucked from the set dressing of a 30’s movie and divvied up into a catalog of retro boudoir decor. Carved beds, poofy headboards, elegant little chairs and footstools and swooping lounges, gracefully wavy chests and bedside tables, mirrored armoires, damask dressing screens, chandeliers dripping sparkle, and of course, silk sheets. Divan bases are available for vamps with limited space.

Flapper fashion cross-pollinated with floppy-hatted L.A. bohemian in soft explosions of lace and tulle, reminiscent of what vintage shopping in the sixties must have been like. Much of it is concocted from found fabrics and elements, and spiced up with period flair: turbans and cloches, harem pantsuits, detachable tattered capelet/bustle combos, bed jackets, “cuff cakes” for the arms and ankles, chandelier necklaces, and a page of 20’s dresses scooped up from various well-dressed eccentrics. Also some bedroom decor and glamorous little dolls.

A small cornucopia of gothic ragdolls in cloth and paper mache, covering every dark style from teddy-clutching witchypoo to gauze-draped horror vamp, tattered mermaids and ghostly brides, a section of fabric kitties, and some flat-out creepy imaginings of blood-drenched orphans and eyeless mandrakes. The bags and coffin boxes are handpainted with black-and-white ravens and ghouls, with the photography page full of babydolls in various states of decay. Custom welcome.

A shop that truly earns its moniker with page after page of yesteryear finds, leaning more towards the later half of the 20th century. Besides heaping amounts of the usuals, they have everything categorized into collector specifics, so you can jump to the Journey tees or velvet smoking jackets right away. Also lots of fun housewares and other throwback miscellanea in the Cool Stuff section.

Everything for the medieval lifestyle: the garb, the swords, the tankards, the tents, right down to the rings of castle keys. There’s a great selection of imperious jewelry and they also delve into the amusements of the time with festival masks, puppets, and gaming of yore.
