ch-ch-changes

 

as regulars already know, we've had a birth in the c&c family. and this change has resulted in some shuffling of routines and schedules. after a lot of thought, we have decided that effective march 1, 2012, 

we will be closed on tuesdays

this is probably a temporary change, and we will surely update on blog, facebook, and yelp if/when needed.

 

thanks so much for your support!

thanks to trisha and bows, the other designers, and --especially!--our models for all their time and effort. for a better look at our capes, visit them at the c&c :)

happy NEW year

we hope everyone had a happy holiday season! we have spent the first days of this new year working on the shop and planning future improvements :)  just in the past week, we have rearranged sections, added loads of fresh-from-estates midcentury hats and purses (with more to come), and priced a new batch of one-of-a-kind rings.

midcentury delights are now up front!

purses on top, with vintage patterns and fabric available in the drawers below

cheers to a lovely 2012!

WE dig Cloisonne

Cloisonné is an ancient technique for decorating metalwork objects, in recent centuries using vitreous enamel, and in older periods also inlays of cut gemstones, glass, and other materials. The resulting objects can also be called cloisonné. The decoration is formed by first adding compartments (cloisons in French[1]) to the metal object by soldering or adhering silver or gold wires or thin strips placed on their edges. These remain visible in the finished piece, separating the different compartments of the enamel or inlays, which are often of several colors. Cloisonné enamel objects are worked on with enamel powder made into a paste, which then needs to be fired in a kiln.
