So this Etsy treasury list was made with a 19th Century romance, or even a Marie Antoinette french boudoir in mind. All the items are very domestic, including kitchen and household wares, a corset, and a number of bathroom accessories - soaps, shaving creams and perfume. Each one was chosen not only for look, but for the emotion and mood that it embodies. Some of the creators of these have a certain aesthetic that i adore, especially the perfumers, who have created some exquisite concepts for their products. For example, one of the included products is a solid perfume locket called 'Antique Settee', and it literally corresponds to the smell of an old velvet couch.
"This blend reveals the past with hints of roses, violets, and everlastings lingering on velvet upholstery from perfumed guests that have come and gone. Freshly polished wood trim is woven throughout, finished with a deep base of Earl Grey tea (spilled on the cushions over the years). The essence of black tea leaves soaked in bergamot improves with age while lending a comforting character. This aromatic interpretation offers you the opportunity to embody this classic heirloom’s history."
I'm also totally in love with these rose marshmallows (i'm a sucker for rose scented/flavoured items), and the person who runs the shop. While these aren't the most bizarre or unique - still lovely though - the creator has made some really strange sweeties.
For example:
Star Anise, Saffron, Cardamom, Peach Butter Caramels
Flaming hot candied habanero peppers
Matcha Green Tea Butter Caramels
Spicy Strawberry Berlingots
Who thought you could spice up your candy? I hate spicy foods, but i admire the bravery in these confections.
And now finally, this fantastic apothecary spice rack is one of my favourites. I'm obsessed with housewares, especially the bits and bobs that give a room character.
