I have received many requests since retiring it to bring the Tropical Treat brooch back. While it will not be returning to my shop, I am making it available for pre-orders now through 11:59pm PST on Sunday, January 31st. I have some brooches ready-made and available to ship immediately; any orders beyond that quantity will be made to order and shipped in the order in which payment is received. The turnaround time will depend on the number of orders I receive, but you may always contact me to check on the status of your order. The price is $45; shipping is $6.10 in the United States and to US Territories, $10.50 to Canada and $14.50 everywhere else in the world. To place an order, you can either send me a message here on Tumblr or comment on the pre-order post on Instagram (@tangerinemenagerie). Please don’t forget to include the country to which the brooch will be shipped so I can calculate shipping for your invoice. Payment is due no later than Tuesday, February 2nd. Thank you!

Please forgive this shameless piece of self-promotion, but I’m so excited to announce that my brand-new Etsy shop, Tangerine Menagerie, is open for business! I love vintage and vintage-style fashion, and this shop is dedicated to my own take on modern-but-retro novelty brooches. Each one is made of layers of hand-painted plexiglass topped with resin for extra gloss and durability. I have eight designs available now and more coming soon!
Through May 24th at 11:59PST, everybody who makes a purchase in my Etsy shop will be entered in a drawing to win this hand-cut Belle silhouette framed in a silver 8x10″ float frame! The winner will be selected Monday, May 25th and shipped to them free anywhere in the world.

I know I've been quiet recently, and I wanted to show you guys why: I'm working on a brand new line of vintage-inspired novelty brooches like this one, made of layers of handpainted plexiglass. I'll be announcing my new shop (and corresponding Tumblr) in the next few weeks!
