The scarf coordinates so well with them. I love shopping in Montreal. There are so many interesting places to go. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354926 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 18:03:21 +0000 Firecracker (Sharan) 2354926@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p><div>I like your fun, bright jewelry and the gorgeous scarf that coordinates with them. I would steam the scarf. If you don't have a steamer, you can hang the scarf from a pant hanger (a shower curtain rod works well to hang it from) and use an iron vertically to steam it.&nbsp;</div><div>The teapot setting is lovely and serene.</div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354923 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 16:17:17 +0000 cat2 2354923@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>My mom used to put a damp towel over her scarves and then iron them through the towel. You might look it up the technique, though, before trying it on anything precious to you! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354917 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 12:55:55 +0000 RobinF 2354917@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The vintage market sounds like fun!&nbsp;</p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354904 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 05:09:14 +0000 Anonymous 2354904@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The only thing I bought in February is wide legged jeans from Gap. They are very small but the next size up bagged in the back over the hips. When washed I will hang to dry. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354894 Tue, 12 Mar 2024 02:06:39 +0000 Brooklyn 2354894@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>The Bakelite bangles look a lot like Dinosaur Designs bangles, which are collectibles here. They will add some lovely colour to your Spring Summer outfits. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354772 Sun, 10 Mar 2024 02:35:07 +0000 Jaime 2354772@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Great collection and super fun about a reason to go back! I would try steaming the scarf if possible as old rayon is very delicate in my experience. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354738 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 23:49:57 +0000 MsMaven 2354738@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Love the earrings and the scarf.

Your taste is similar to mine, even down to the color choices. I adore Bakelite bracelets, and vignettes like you have made with your lovely teapots. Would love to see how you use the scarf. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354715 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 16:13:24 +0000 Bonnie 2354715@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I love everything you chose and your collectable display is lovely. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354712 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:33:59 +0000 LaPed 2354712@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Such a strong color story tying all of this together — love it! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354709 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 15:15:28 +0000 Carla 2354709@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I’m a fan of having a ‘beauty spot’ in the home. &nbsp;That’s a lovely montage you’ve created. &nbsp;<div><br /></div><div>The jewellery is fun, and I can see you wearing the items after your vacation as well.</p> <p></div><div><br /></div> </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354708 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 14:56:58 +0000 Angie 2354708@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Fun bracelet and scarf complement!

You have a great eye. The bakelite earrings are spectacular and coordinate so well with your scarf. You obviously know your palette. Gorgeous delicate shell earrings. Dangly and so pretty and has me longing for spring! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/february-notes#post-2354701 Fri, 08 Mar 2024 13:31:25 +0000 Jules 2354701@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I made a loose commitment to keep myself honest by posting monthly purchases here, and I think it did help keep me mindful in the month of February. Goals for 2024 include reducing return churn and overall purchases, since my wardrobe is in great shape and I am running out of both physical and mental space for all that I have.</p> <p>February turned out to be a vintage/small maker shopping spree! These types of purchases are in line with my goals and values and don't take up a lot of space (scarves and jewelry, typically). We visited a large vintage market in Montreal where I plan to be a regular as my daughter is at university there and the prices and selection relative to Toronto area were excellent. I bought both high and low: 3 vintage Bakelite bracelets and new junk quality earrings at 3 pairs/$5. The earrings were for my Costa Rica trip and to satisfy the obsession I had with the white plastic "Barbie earrings" last summer. I've never collected Bakelite previously but they had a huge selection that allowed me to choose this stack, and when I got home I realized they were the same palette as this vintage rayon scarf I picked up a while ago (I do need to figure out the secret to ironing old rayon if I am going to keep buying these...). I also ordered the shell earrings on etsy - I fell in love with the maker,&nbsp;MatiQhandmade's pieces a few months ago and when this pair with the tiny green shells came up I went for it.</p> <p>Finally, a non-fashion photo of my dining room collectibles display. I acquired the Figgjo patterned teapot this month and pulled together several existing things. </p> <p>Shell earring by <a rel="nofollow" href="https://www.instagram.com/mati_q_handmade/">https://www.instagram.com/mati_q_handmade/</a></p>
