Feather Headpieces

I bought this feather headband from Love Me Knot - now Love Lulu Mae - about a year ago. Apologies for the webcam-quality images.

(Geez, check out those overgrown eyebrows I'm currently sporting!)

For reasons unbeknownst to me, I have barely worn it until I stumbled across this beautiful feather clip on Bona Drag the other day and was reminded of its existence.

Plumage Hair Clip, maker unknown, US$15 at Bona Drag

I've worn mine a few times since then, and in that time a number of people have asked me where I got it from, so I thought I would do up a list of my favourite feather hairpiece makers on Etsy. I love Etsy for so many reasons, in particular their support of small businesses and promotion of handmade and vintage goods. Especially in these interesting economic times you can feel good knowing that your money is going directly to the person who made your purchase with their own hands.

So, the list (in no particular order):
