Remember back in my big post about the Brome Fair, (you can read it here… if you are really looking to procrastinate today) I mentioned that I would totally love to find those roach clips with feathers from the 80′s that we used to buy at the fair?  Like this

Well, hello 1982.  We’ve missed you.

Found these feather barrettes in NYC which was fitting not only because of my earlier post about just such a thing, but because Amanda was talking about feather barrettes when we arrived in NYC because she had seen someone wearing one a few days earlier.  Basically, every couple of hours after our arrival in New York, Amanda would say something like “Why don’t I have a feather in my hair yet?”.  After 2 days of this, and no feather barrettes spotted anywhere on our travels through shows and shops, eventually, I offered to weave some pigeon feathers that we collected off the NY streets into her hair.  Strangely, she declined.  Anyhow, turns out we found these on our last day, and excitedly bought a few dozen of them for the stores.

You’re welcome.  $15 at both stores.
