food « Boy With A Pearl Earring

So I’m starting to focus on the designers in the ~~fine~~ fair city around me.

Here’s the first to feature – High Tea Jewelery. She claims to be a simple girl which is a bit disingenuous when you see her designs. I can only assume she’s referring to her taste in food.

Most of her stuff is a little too chintzy for me, but I imagine that the girls will love it. That’s part of the problem writing an earring blog from a boy’s perspective – I just can’t get too excited about some of the more frilly fancy items that look lovely on the ladies but I would just never wear.

These are some of her (sorry, don’t know your name) most recent items although it’s clear she’s been doing this, and doing it well

This item is rather special. Sold, tragically, but then like most things in life you gotta move fast or you lose it.

If Homer Simpson wore earrings...

I like these too… Sensing a food theme anyone?

My ears are freezing

These are very nice pearls, mainly ‘cos they are not spherical but a bit distorted. And who couldn’t love that adorable cute kitty? So nice!

Pearls before cats

One final set, pretty old, but that Pegasus is great. Of course, if I got it I’d probably want to remove the beads at the top (why can’t girls recognize that sometimes elegant simplicity is more beautiful than over the top sweetness!)

We have lift off

All in all though good job, pretty reasonable prices, well worth checking out.

I’m a big fan of recycling; I always steal other people’s jokes. I’m pretty sure my girlfriend is recycled too – certainly she’s been through the wash a few times but that’s another story. When it comes to earrings, I love those that are weird, ironic, pseudo-cool. Although I have plenty of ‘classic’ sparkly drop earrings, the one’s I like best are those that take something very unexpected and use it in a unique way.

So it was great to find this site – Tiffany Tomato. Now, she’s relocated her site to Replayground.com (great name by the way), but the earrings I’m gonna feature aren’t found on the new website, only the old one. I’m sure if you ask nicely though they can help. The ethos, perfect for these calorie-conscious times, is on re-using and re-adapting existing materials in a new way. There’s a particular focus on food, which is is nice ‘cos I’m feeling a bit hungry, and these earrings are both fashionable and nutritious!
