But wait there's more! A PO BOX finally wahoo!
First, a disclaimer: So many of you have kindly offered to send me things, including vintage items you may have inherited, and I am so honored you would think of me and of course I do adore vintage treasures, however, unfortunately I only have so much storage space currently! So there is a chance that if something just wont work for me, or doesn't fit me etc, that I may not be able to keep all of your lovely things. Please only send things if you are okay with the possibility that I may donate items I just cannot keep. If you would prefer I put things that I can't keep into the TCH Etsy shop to help raise funds for me and the channel, please specify this in a note or letter in your parcel. Thank you so much!

queer substitute teacher cursed by psychedelic vampire lover goes to trader joe's was never an aesthetic I sought out but good godt is it fabulous.
😂🧛♀️ Goals ✨
OMG, YES! It really is fabulous!
I adore you collection videos!
My best find ever was from last year. I was in a thrift shop and they had an entire cabinet filled with Corde purses. I didn't have a lot of time or money, so I grabbed 3 at $15 each. A couple of months later, I came into a little money, and decided to go back to the shop, hoping against hope no one had snagged them. I went in, and the cabinet was empty. I asked a clerk, and she said, "oh those old bags? They're in the half-off area." I went in back, and they're they were, all piled into a bin. They were half-off, plus it was half-off purses day! So I ended up with about 15 Corde purses for about $3.75 each!
Someone loved and collected them, and they were dumped at a thrift store because no one knew their value, and I feel like I was meant to find them and continue to be a caretaker for them.
Now if I could just find a pools of light necklace in a charity shop, that's my white whale!
That sounds AMAZING! What a joyous day indeed! You were destined to care for them surely. I dream of finding a big dark green corde one day 🤩
If there is a god, you're her favorite!
As someone who spent a decade or more buying 1928 brand costume jewelry, I like knowing others who appreciate the ~*drama*~ of costume pieces. My inner vampire is happy, and I really need to incorporate more of those pieces into my life 😊
I miss your "styling thrifted clothes" videos dearly and I'd love to see what you've picked up in that realm this year! 💜
Thanks Krystal! I'll see what I can do ✨
I gasped at the necklace. It definitely needs a midnight blue velvet gown to go with it.
THAT NECKLACE. I love the thought process of "I want this because it looks like it's cursed." That's the aesthetic I'm generally after.
Being cursed can be a wonderful thing!
It’s even beautiful if you flip the necklace over and wear it upside down.
Would love to see a "styling vintage clothing finds" video! Great silk scarf finds!
oh yeah
Thank you Laura!
Would really enjoy a styling vintage finds video! Crazy that they don't do as well. I guess your audience is split into a few camps; those here for the sewing, those here for the vintage, and those here for everything?
That would be everything for me!
Yep, Camp Everything.
Yeah, I don't get that. Styling videos are so much fun to watch! And you can enjoy them, even if you don't sew or even wear vintage yourself. I don't. I mean, I do see, but just regular clothes (mostly repairs and alterations these days, if I'm honest), I just watch because I enjoy her esthetic and sense of humor.
Here for the fascinating and talented Bianca !
Team Everything
"It's haunted, I need it" is definitely a vibe! 😍💖💖
You had me laughing at that oddly specific substitute teach reference and then knocked me over with the cursed necklace. I love your humor but today's episode is the funniest! Thank you, Bianca!
That rhinestone necklace is absolutely divine!
I also would love more styling vintage finds videos!
That birthday necklace is 💝Magnificent💝!! An absolute YES to a dress just for that necklace! Also a yes to collection and styling videos 👍👍
Thanks Marcia!
I made such a weird noise when you brought out the red and black plastiflex, MY GOD! Such a spectacularly tasteful and fun year of collecting. It's wonderful to see your style becoming even more distilled and confident.
I will watch all the videos and livestreams you can think of and will ABSOLUTELY buy 3d printed Esposito plastiflex, Chartreuse please!!! Xxxx
Thank you Ailsa! Chartreuse always 💚✨
Yes, both a vintage clothes haul and styling video would be great! :D
I too am going for the eccentric queer substitute teacher esthetic, I've spent the evening sticking flower, butterfly and bee stickers all over my mobility scooter 😂😂
Edit: hell yesss to a velvet gown to go with your fabulous birthday present to yourself, your fellow grocery shoppers NEED to be graced with such an extravaganza
Edit 2: we always dressed up for dinner Friday, Saturday and Sunday when I was growing up, 1,000/10 would recommend, it makes the meal feel so special, even if you're eating a very common meal
This sticker situation sounds most excellent! 🐞✨
@@TheClosetHistorian Both my father and brother have informed me that they refuse to be seen with me when I'm on it, and I haven't even added the pinwheel and battery powered lights that I want to put on the basket 😂😂 life's too short not to bring yourself joy wherever possible, and in addition to the joy the stickers bring me, their playful disgust has me in tears of laughter!
TL;DR add pretty stickers to everything, it makes life more fun
Hi, Of course I want to see what else you picked up last year. Your taste is so good and what you look at is so interesting that I learn something new every time.
I completely love your new silk scarf with the ginormous flowers on it. So my colors, and I'm so glad you found it. And those little evening bags. I'm still drooling over the jewelry, especially the large necklace. Please let me live vicariously through you and show your finds and how you would style them. Yours, Ann
Hi @Ann Lidslot, I couldn’t have said this better. You’re spot on. Hope you’re keeping well fellow Patreon🇦🇺😎
Thank you Ann! ❤

I literally gasped when you held up that green handbag, oh my word that is gorgeous!!!
Joseph Campbell always says to 'follow your bliss'!! 💓💞💕
Each piece will be treasured, appreciated, and protected. I really enjoyed seeing them.
Thank you Dannie!
I'm so deeply in love with the cursed, gorgeous statement necklace!
I would love to see your vintage clothing video. I would love to see your silk scarf collection. I actually love to watch anything you want to show us!
Thank you Theresa!
"It looks cursed" 🤣🤣🤣 that's the best reason ever for buying anything, and that necklace is fabulous!!! Lynne 🤩😍
Thanks Lynne!
The asymmetrical clutch sure would look pretty as a cross body bag like they are wearing now. Thank you so much for your dry humor. I needed it
always fun to see your goodie collections! That necklace is wonderful, and can definitely be worn with every day clothes. If you are feeling fancy, then go for it!
Thank you Ruth!
I would love a live stream styling situation, that would be phenomenal! And I do very much love seeing thrift hauls too!
Thrifting clothing haul, yes please. I wore my grandmother's platform shoes and black satin lounging pants and I miss them so much.
THAT GREEN BAG!!!! Be still my heart! I am also a fiend for green. I came across my own lust-worthy green bag that has been on my "unicorn" list for some time - a green seed beaded Hattie Carnegie box purse (in pretty good condition only missing a few beads). Love the silver "space purse" & OMG - that red & black Plastiflex bag. I am so jealous! (The black & white Plastiflex was an excellent find). I also adore Plastiflex bags. I have a red bag with the same Plastiflex tiles as the black one you purchased. Thank you for sharing your vintage treasures with us! Great finds!
Thank you! Love a beaded handbag for sure ✨
I learn so. much from you! I never heard of Plastic Flex purses until I saw this video that you made of your vintage finds 2022! Thanks for teaching about various fashion. I love your You Tube channel.
Thank you Isabella!
The scarves are beautiful, I'd love to see such a delicious collection.
Thank you Kaytie!
Those scarves are just gorgeous, Bianca! 😍 😍😍
That beautiful necklace….. I can’t keep my eyes off of it! Happy birthday to you!! 🎉❤
Congratulations on all of your finds !!! Absolutely divine!!! Yes, I would love a Live Stream !!! What fun that will be. 😻
Thank you Dolores!
Yes please to thrift store clothing finds! 🥰
Let me tell you, when you lifted up that bottle green bag, my elphiba heart melted
Same oh my goodness
Imagine how quickly my green little heart hit "buy now" 😂💚
@@TheClosetHistorian and honestly, I would be disappointed if you hadn't. It's a beauty
Having developed a fondness for scarves I realized I had acquired quite a few, not a bad thing, especially if they're vintage silk ones so I'd be down for watching a scarf collection video. I'd love a vintage thrift haul as well.
I've used plastic canvas to reinforce costume pieces like bags. With the holes already there, it makes it easy to do some hand stitched stay stitched.
I'm drooling over your finds oh my word. You are soo so elegant.
Thank you! I promise I am not elegant 😂
Oh my GAWD the NECKLACE!!!!! How?!!! I bow to it and give it worship. Please give us a haul for your vintage clothes!!!! I look forward to the scarves. You should do a whole ‘these are all the ways to style a scarf” part of a video. I used to do that when I sold accessories in the 1980’s and a huge dept store.
Thank you Thea!! I mean, how could I not invest in a surely cursed necklace right 😂✨
I googled 3d printing and there are many many videos out there for every level of skill. Even if you don't plan to do the actual printing yourself it would be very educational just to watch a few of them. I plan to take a dive into the subject myself really soon. You've inspired me to at least learn more. There are very few objects I'd be interested in reproducing, but those bags are some of them. I very much hope you can figure this out. A video on the creation of one or more would be amazing.
I want all of your jewellery finds!!!
I’m dead! You have the best collections on RUclips sweetheart! Wow!
👌👌👌❤️
Thank you Jo!!
Bianca, those brooches, THAT NECKLACE!!!! And let’s not forget the scarves and purses!! But most of all your hilarious running comments!! This is why I so love watching your videos - I’m in the watch all videos from Bianca camp!
Thank you Suzanne!!
I am so glad to find your channel. I have inherited a whole lot of costume jewelery from the 30 through the 70s and have been trying to incorporate it into my wardrobe, and am loving it. You have great ideas for inspiration!
Yes, thrift haul. I collect vintage Vera Neumann scarves because I love them, but never know how to wear them. Your birthday necklace is wonderful. I kinda want to see it against ice blue, too. Most handbags use buckram, just like hats, for stiffening structure.
Thank you Marta! Well at least I already have buckram in the studio hmm 🤔
I ADORE your thrift and vintage haul videos. In fact, one of your finds inspired me to go hunting and I found…TWO plastic flex clutches in plastic strips😍! I had never seen one until I saw yours in rainbow strips and then went back and looked in my wards catalog. And after I saw yours, I found two last year one in all black and one in ivory… $35 or under each!! Thank you for all the fun last year!
Dang, that's the dream 🤩🤩😂
Leatherworker here: the stiffener in leather bags is often heavy cardstock or book binding board, believe it or not. I sew leather on a vintage industrial Pfaff with a walking foot, which is key to getting it through the thick layers.
I wanna see aaaaaalll of the videos you spoke about, the thrift styling, the scarfs, everything plz!
Oh yes Girl. Such a nice collection. I would love to see more of your collected items and how you combine this things. You´re taste ist awesome! Beautiful❣ Thank you so much❣❤❤
Thank you Paula!
I love your styling videos. It really helps me think about how I can mix and match my vintage wardrobe.
The black and red plasticflex omg!! Also yes please to a vintage clothing vest of 2022 video. These videos are my absolute favs. This was todays boost of serotonin for sure.
Thank you Kelly!
That necklace is spectacular! So glad you spoiled yourself with it!
hands up for vintage clothes thrift haul!!
I love all your best finds!But the broches are Great!Thank you!
Thank you Cristina!
I love the psychedelic vampire aesthetic!
Yes! Please do thrift and styling videos! They are so helpful and fun ❤
Always wonderful. Missing your clothes thrifting videos 🦋
the necklace is divine ❤❤❤ i'd enjoy watching a live with your clothes collections when find your gothic jewel box home, any live really but that would be fun :)
Looooooooved this video!!!! Would love more of this sort, and also the styling kind you mentioned! Love hearing the shopping process recounted 🥺🥺🥺
Thank you!
Me, I have a hard time going home without vintage or antique mirrors... Have too many of those, but... Can't resist ☺
Yay for all the magpies!!!
"Les Bernard was a jewelry manufacturing company founded in 1963 by Lester Joy and Bernard Shapiro . . .. The name they chose for their business combined elements of both men’s first names."
OMG 1940's Bark cloth ... Mom had some old drapes that looked much like your scarf. She re purporsed them into a slip cover for a roll away bed. I remember the back ground color was "maroon" and palm fronds were also present with large pinkish flowers... hibiscus? maybe? Love this video.
Such beautiful accessories- especially the jewelry. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Fellow Magpie, right here. Love all the necklaces. Please do a scarf collection video.
I miss the collection videos and would love livestreams!
OMG THAT NECKLACE! ❤❤❤
Yes more scarves! They are so pretty and I wish I had your luck finding them.
Thank you Elise!
That rhinestone necklace is gorgeous, and so very you! It absolutely needs a midnight blue velvet dress, and perhaps even a display stand made from the leftovers? As for 'expensive': if you can afford it, and think the price is fair to you for the item you've bought, then it doesn't matter how much it cost. Fashion is clearly your creative happy place. It sounds like that necklace has given you $125 of joy already 💜
Thank you! I can't wait to build a very jewel box closet space with displays yes 😅✨
Yes! We all need a fabulous cursed necklace in our lives 😍
MAKING BAGS - You can use stick-on or iron-on foam (?felt) to stiffen them. Like the stuff you stick under chair legs to stop them scratching the floor. There are certain brands that are basically the same thing.
Fellow Magpie Big Jewellery Wearing Weird Art Teacher here saying I love all of the finds you shared. Love your style and aesthetic.
Love any video you put out, just do what you like, I’ll watch 🧡
Thank you!!
“It looks cursed … contagious in some way.” 😂 Love it, want to see the velvet!
Such lovely choices you have made! I am quite sure that Les Bernard was meant to sound as French uppercrust as possible, and I am pretty sure they made at least one copper snake choker, with earrings to match, maybe even a bracelet. The copper looked more like old money on the tv screen and in glossy magazines.
when i was in grade 4, we had some weird older queer art teacher lady who would come in occasionally and do crafts with us. at the time i just thought she was really fun. one craft i remember very well, was making earrings and brooches with her. we would take squares of some weird material, dip it in something, and layer them together to form shapes. they were VERY irridescent and shiny, exactly your style. i wish i could remember what material it was!
anyway, love watching your fabulous finds!
This reminds me of the Elsa Lanchester character in The Big Clock (1948).
Thank you! Sounds fabulous and fun!
Yas to live streams from your future house
Yas to vintage hauls and styling
Yas to all of your ideas!
Thanks Valerie 😂✨
I always love to see what you have acquired. You have such great taste. I'd love to see what vintage clothes you bought also.
Thank you Laurie!
most of the hard stuff in leather-goods is just card, composite card etc.. make one in a cheap vinyl or no stretch thick fabric. Bag line it, promise once you've done that you'll be comfortable making them in leather. use a walking foot if you can, if not tape the bottom of the foot with some teflon tape. you can just use copydex glue if you need to glue stuff down., no need for expensive leather cements. remember to use a nice quality gimp for any topstitching
.
my god, that green faux leather handbag was TO DIE FOR
As someone who has done just a little bit of 3d printing the design of tile for that black purse would be basically the easiest 3d printing project you could do. It would just take forever to print enough tiles to make a bag.
Stopped everything I was doing to admire your scarves. I didn't realize I'd be so drawn to the bold colors 😍
I love the shift in language from "when I finally saved up enough to move" to "when I move" over the years! I've been working toward the same goal and have been inching closer and closer. I'm so excited for you!
Thank you Rebecca! ❤️ I hope we both get great homes soon 😍✨
Thank you. I enjoyed that. A lovely collection and I'm sure you can make it all yourself.
Thank you Jane!
Honestly, with your taste and creativity, pairing with you to drop a collection of something (plasticflex clutches for example) is a winning move.
Thank you Maria!
Would totally love to see a livestream. Even if the timing was wrong, I would watch the recording
That "cursed" or maybe haunted necklace is spectacular as well as that gold leafy 3 prong broach!! Perfect with your hair. Also that black silk floral scarf! Wow! Also the black tile bag looks like it would go amazing with that necklace!!!!
I realised I hadn't seen anything from you in a while and - my favourite! - being shown your new acquisitions 😸 Only noticed I had alerts setting wrong - could have sworn I had it set to "All". Well, it is now!
🎈🎂🌟 Birthday necklace is perfection! 🔥🔥🔥
All of the things you showed are lovely and I was imagining them with the outfits and things I've seen you make.
It will be FABULOUS!
Thank you!!
I continue to be utterly obsessed with the very specific way you do vintage. So beautiful, you are so good at curating things.
Thank you Lisa!!
Those two les barnard necklaces are really nice- very Cleopatra style.
Thank you Anne!
That necklace and that black sparkly handbag 😍 I'm normally not into handbags but this one... Just can't beat black and sparkly. And yes please show us we want to see everything😄
Card stock of a heavier weight is what you use inside that silver clutch also some thin foam or thin batting for a cushion feel. The card stock would be pieces with a space between abot an eighth or sixteenth to allow the bend without cracking.They also glue them down. It would be made similar to how menus or table stands for restaurants are made. Rayon type fabric for the lining that could be glued to inside. Hugs
I love your collection videos. I love hearing about why you picked it and what you love about it. I just want to say I love what you've draped over your shoulder the beetle brooch is just... chefs kiss.
Thank you! 🪲
Oh my goodness, my mom gave me her Les Bernard silver necklace just like that for dress up stuff for my girls. I'm glad I held off giving it to them because I wanted to polish it first. I had no idea what it was, but I remember loving it as a kid.
And that rhinestone necklace, oh my, that is magnificent.
That's a total dress up box treasure 😂✨
I want everything here!! .... Also, I miss your thrift videos!
Bonjour Bianca 🙂🇨🇦 Woow very cool finds,i love broches but ...From all the ones you show i honesly prefer the ones you create 👌 they are soooooo amazing 👏 You have a fun créative mind 👍
Yaay!!!! A video I can just sit back and enjoy without having to do something or bake something!!!! Fabulous!! xo Joanne
I was looking through my Frank Lloyd Wright book the other day, and I made the exact same connection as you, even before you mentioned it. Currently looking into how I can make my craftroom more in that sort of style.
Veg-tan leather is fairly stiff, even thin, so I just choose the thickness of leather that gives me the right amount of rigidity for whatever project I'm working on. The fun thing about veg-tan is that it's extremely malable when wet, but holds it's shape perfectly once dry, so it's really easy to make shaped objects with. Contact cement is your best friend when working with leather. Just glue your thin fashion layer to your support layer, and it will act as one piece thereafter.
A lot of leather retailers sell scrap bags of various leathers for fairly cheap. They're not great for bigger projects, but can be used for smaller purses, leather jewelery and such, and it's a good way to play around with different leathers to see what works best for your style of projects.
Fabulous finds! I love the purses, but that necklace!! Swoon!!
That butterfly scarf is glorious! I would theme a room around it.
Ahhh hahaha your description of the decadent piece was hilarious! I hope you get to wear it with some amazing evening gown quite soon!
Thank you Kat!
