Moonchild Vintage: The Magic of Feathers~Headdresses

Old clothes, poetry, music and the beauty of the natural world inspire me to be present and yet transcend time at the same time. Every day in each moment we have the opportunity to create magic in myriad ways and for me clothing is such a deep part of that. What character do I feel today? What am I going to make and give to the world? An outfit in itself can be a work of art...I guess that is what is meant by style...how we collage together clothes out of how we feel emotionally and physically. It is magic really, the creation of a beautiful illusion that we present to the world that affects those around us. The ability to create is one of the greatest gifts we have as human beings, so in my small way I hope by offering wonderful clothes and old goods I can inspire those who come across my shop to dream their dreams and create their own magic.

The Magic of Feathers~Headdresses

In the spirit of feathers week, I have selected a vast selection of amazing headdresses which have been worn for thousands of years throughout the cultures of the world. Truly birds are the most amazing and glorious of creatures and humans have celebrated them in the making and wearing of headdresses. I suppose it connects us with the fantastic ability to fly as well as strut our stuff in the myriad colors of nature. I adore feather headdresses and would wear one every day if I could get it together, hehe. Enjoy the splendors of the bird and their glorious feathers.
