One of my favorite colors of Bakelite is apple juice.It also usually tends to me the most expensive,which is why I don't have any pieces with the exception of a large decorative button I keep in my sewing box thinking one day I'll put it to good use.These beauties I've all found for under $100.00!
This brooch from mikat82 features a wire fox terrier in it.Wire Fox Terriers became popular family dogs inthe 1930's because of The Thin Man feature films.
This prairie wagon brooch from atomicwarehouse incorporates wood and Bakelite together.
Love this funky little fish brooch from craftingfool2003
This brooch with the mother of pearl fleck in t is beautiful from
Violasvintages
Hopefully you're not bored of brooches so lets finish this off with some dress clips!Dress clips I feel are one of the most underrated but most valuable pieces to have to your vintage wardrobe.We all have that dress we like that's plain but add a dress clip to it and you can really give it a glamorous feel!
This dress clip also from Violasvintages has combined my love of Bakelite AND rhinestones!
Lastly this reverse carving apple juice Bakelite dress clip from
OurBoudoir
Hope you all enjoyed drooling over these pretties as much as I have!Till next time.
"Delicious" seems appropriate! I need to test one of my amber-colored brooches to see if it is the rare apple-juice Bakelite and not acrylic, as I suspect. What fun!
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful name for a color "apple juice". Found your lovely blog via "Advanced Style".

Pretty!
ReplyDeleteOhhh! The wagon is just daaarling!
ReplyDeleteWhat do you call the color that's just a tad darker than these apple juice pieces?
I think a lot of people reference them as "root beer" bakelite.
DeleteWhat tremendously lovely pieces! While I don't (yet) own any, I'm rather keen on apple juice Bakelite, too (not the least of which is because it reminds me of the big glasses of apple juice my paternal grandma would always serve us for breakfast when we slept over at her house when I was a little girl).
