A neat little shop of woodworked jewelry and toys. The adornments feature motifs of tentacled water beasties and we do believe them when they say you won’t find a nicer set of pangolin earrings anywhere. Also pendants made up of moving gears, which will surely draw forth cries of “ooh, can I touch?” Build-your-own fishmonsters and ratmobiles make for morbidly mobile amusements, the mushroom puzzle is cool in a retro-70’s way, and gods only know what the Mystery Item might be.

A gigantic catalog of handmade historical clothing and beyond for men and women, from Marie Antoinette ensembles to anime costumes. Full of gowns browsable by era, kids’ outfits, and things for pirates and brides, as well as harder-to-find key dressup bits: Elizabethan partlets, maternity bodices, a page of “underskirt devices,” elaborate neck ruffs, bodice jewels, wedding circlets, all the period-appropriate hats, velvet jester hose that offer the option of coordinating codpieces if that’s the kind of guy you are. Custom is extremely welcome.

A mix of vintage finds and glittery medieval reproductions. Giant 1960’s boho necklaces, bakelite, a section just for Sam Niello Thai-deco goodies, and a page of cufflinks and tie bars for the guys among the usual rhinestone brooches and cocktail rings. The new stuff is devoted to the Renaissance, which besides bracelets and earrings, also includes the period-specific styles of girdle belts and collars of office, and some of it is modeled directly from movies and TV shows.

A big catalog of medieval jewelry, where Celtic swirls, gothic spiders, and pagan moons are blown up bold and ornate and sprinkled with crystals. Statement pendants of the ren-faire variety, rings of twisted silver, handflowers and headdresses, and the unusual inclusion of chain belts, which are like big glittery necklaces for the waist. The clothing updates historical dress with a little goth detailing – good stuff for men here – along with wedding gowns and a little mystical leather.

Clothing, accessories, and jewelry from worlds long ago and/or far away. Fairy clusters of gemstones and pearls, medieval capelets and cloaks, pirate coats and vests, steampunk jackets and goggles. The actionwear looks crafted for performance, not just show – the outerwear drops fancy brocades in favor of seawater-surviving canvas, and the swashbuckling bags follow suit with elegant durability. Thanks Miko!

Fripperies combining Victorian propriety with burlesque tease, resulting in decadent cancan accessorization. Lots of headpieces in fascinator clips, long black veils, and flowery little hats trimmed with netted veils and trailing ribbons. Neckwear is also abundant in ruffled lace chokers and vampire-aristocrat ascots, and it’s a good place if you like your stuff studded with cameos.

Decor and adornment replicated from art and artifacts around the world: Egyptian, Greek, Roman, Hindu, Asian, African, Aztec, medieval, and a touch of abstract modern are scattered throughout pages of historically-inspired jewelry and housewares. Loads of statuary from Buddha to Beethoven, the games include mummy bridge decks, the gadgetry runs towards sundials and hourglasses, and Frank Lloyd wright pops up in the earrings. Thanks Neil!
