....or the corset and the tool box.
Hello again! I know it has been a long time, but you know the old excuse, 'I have been busy... ' In my previous post I showed you some photos from the show in Rheda, today I want to show you a few things I bought at the show.
About five minutes before the show closed I came to the table of Uschi Schiffner's 'Petit Corsages'. Uschi makes beautiful miniature clothes and corsets. Some of her fifties corsets actually open and close with little hooks! I could not resist this little blue one, so pretty!
The corset has great detail, I love the little clips on the suspenders. With its blue and pink colours it looks perfect in the attic bedroom. All I need now is a beautiful dress, I already bought a gorgeous sparkly necklace to go with it!
The necklace is by 'Miniatur Juwelier' Ursula Stürmer. The gems are Aurore Boreale crystals, topaz and indicolite on gold. The necklace is very difficult to photograph, it is much prettier in reality.
The corset and necklace in a bit more detail.
I also bought something completely opposite to the corset and necklace, a wonderful metal folding tool box. Isn't it great? It was made by Edmund Drescher.
Edmund had a fantastic collection of metal tools, boxes, tables etc., all working of course! I love the workings of this tool box.
And the beginning of my tool collection...I need a lot more! Next time I go to Rheda I know where some of my money will be spent! ;-)
