Miniature Red Silk Georgian Slipper Brooch Festival A a mischievous vintage squirrel

A a mischievous vintage squirrel wearing a pair of coral coloured earrings and with a fur tail is suspended from a beaded bead and vintage stick coral necklace

What's lovely about them is that they are very lightweight and made of thin vintage plastic

It hangs from a blue and black striped ribbon

I think they are absolutely perfect and now give new meaning to their pendant partner

and pink seed beads

Miniature Red Silk Georgian Slipper Brooch Festival A a mischievous vintage squirrelThis little antique red slipper with it's tiny cream tassle is really old. It is handmade and was used to hold a thimble back in the Georgian times when many ladies did a lot of sewing. I have in turn, sewn it onto an oval background and edged with beads to give it a new lease of life as a brooch as it's far too pretty to be hidden away in a cupboard, sewing box or dawer.
