Here are a couple of the reels of wire from the treasure trove, get a load of the gorgeous old labels!

The tall, copper reel is actually really beautiful, such a deep colour. I’ve been playing around with it today and I think it’ll feature somewhere in the collection.

I’m such a sucker for outdated but incredibly designed packaging – I have drawers overflowing with old unwearable hosiery, kept for decades just for the packaging. Maybe I’ll share some soon…

A jenny jenny bigcartel store has just sprung up here…

http://jennyjenny.bigcartel.com

with a limited selection of styles on sale at reduced prices, call it a pop-up sale shop, call it a last-chance saloon, call it what you will but be sure to buy before they’re gone forever!

More trinkets from the treasure chest; is this the earliest incarnation of the Bedazzler?

The ‘Natti’ rhinestone application system in lovely solid-feeling steel and cornflower blue painted wood. As not seen on TV. No info forthcoming on Google either (looking for Fluffits fabric pens is harder than you’d think too, but that’s another story…)

After my initial puzzlement I figured how it worked and had to restrain the urge to bedazzle (or ‘Nattify’?) my entire tablecloth.

I only have a limited number of the original rhinestones and they are a little dull so might l source something sparklier if this treasure features on the finished products. And I must try not to get too carried away with Bedazzling…

So here’s my favourite Christmas gift (aside from the long-gone Toblerone)…

It a box of old silks and things, untouched since the 1950′s that my Granny used to make silk flowers from. The writing on top is my Mum’s from when she was little and just learning joined-up, aww! It says “Stamens, Labels, Bags, Ear-clips & Brooch pins” and contains all of that and many more wonders.

The pure silk fabric squares are in incredible colours and entirely unfaded having been stashed away all these years. There’s even a primitive Bedazzler style contraption.

So this is the starting point for a new collection, lots of work to do but I’ll be keep a full document of the process. Watch this space to see some of the other treasures contained within, and the final result around the end of Feb!

I got one special present I’ll share with you later in the week.

Thought I’d show you a sneak peek of a couple of new bits I’ve been working on. Staying true to the tassel, but taking it a step in a new direction. I’d love to hear your reactions, either in the comments here or email me at hello@jenny-jenny.com.

Some more exciting images later in the week. Until then, back to the drawing board…

The collection is now available exclusively in store at Swanfield pop-up boutique in London’s Kingly Court. More info here.

Alongside gorgeous wares from Mine, Joux Joux shoes and winter warmers by Cecilia Hammarborg. Pop in to get your hands on tassels galore and the LAST PAIR of Epaulettes EVER. I told you they were limited edition!

Remember this little line up of Black Tassel Earrings? They took a trip to the super secret shoot for the video to accompany DJ Hell’s track featuring Bryan Ferry, directed by Jo Apps. See the incredibly slick and sultry results here.

And here are a couple of behind the scenes shots…

Super stylish Spanish magazine, Vanidad has printed a piece about Jenny Jenny. Special thanks to Eva of Nam Nam for sending me a copy so I can share it with you. Have a look…

I can just about figure out what “Wow Wow” means, if any of you can offer any further translations, it would be much appreciated! Thanks Vanidad!

A wonderful series on the BBC giving a glimpse of the sublime style and glamour of the Art Deco age began last night on BBC 4.

Incredible images of many of my favourite influences, Busby Berkeley, fanciful flappers and luxury steamliners. Utterly gorgeous, with fascinating social history insights.
