This might be your favorite post! Not only do you get to discover the fabulous Mrs. Darcy, but you have the chance to win one of her items!! Who loves giveaways?! Me!
Okay done being silly. So Monica aka Mrs. Darcy opened her etsy shop in April 2010 with beautiful brooches and headpieces. Monica describes her passion for these creations as:
I love anything Jane Austen, but my favorite story of all time is Pride and Prejudice. Do you ever wonder what happened to Lizzie Bennett after she became Mrs. Fitzwilliam Darcy? I can only imagine that she hosted and attended the most elegant balls and parties with her dashing husband. In this store, you will find pretties for all ages including beautiful hair accessories and brooches/corsages that I dream even Mrs. Darcy would wear. Happy shopping!
Monica puts lots of thought into her products, with the names and everything. So here are some of her items and their stories:
High Tea Brooch Corsage-Vintage Floral Fabric
Gorgeous single 8" bloom, hand cut, stiffened and sewn with pink stamens to create the most beautiful brooch/corsage for all your Spring occasions!
Dearest Marianne brooch/corsage
In Sense and Sensibility, Elinor Dashwood often referred to her sister Marianne as "Dearest." I think this brooch is beautiful and romantic just like Marianne. This brooch consists of one large stiffened vintage cotton bloom (floral), one cotton polka dot bloom (pink/white) and one stiffened yellow linen bloom and adorned with white eyelet leaves. Wouldn't this make a lovely bridesmaid accessory?!
The Secret Garden Corsage Brooch
I love this brooch, and it took me a good long time to make it - but so worth it! This lovely large brooch consists of three flowers in shades of beautiful blues, adorned with green leaves and pearls. It's absolutely beautiful!
Fabulous, I know! I discovered Monica's creations when I was shopping over at Evystree. These two ladies have teamed up a few times and the results have been so pretty!
Monica's brooches and corsages are so pretty, that they can turn any simple jacket, tee or hoodie in to a fashion forward piece. I love that you can switch around and wear her creations on all sorts of different things, so its like making something old, new every time!

Oh and lets not forget the hair pieces!!
Kindered Spirits headbands
Kindred Spirits headband is an amazing headband that consists of silk rosettes in two shades of yellow, two shades of pink and chartreuse green, adorned with dark green velvet leaves and faux pearls - they are divine together. This is attached to a brown elastic headband, but other options are available upon request, i.e. think plastic headband, stretch lace, etc.
The Georgiana Darcy Headband
This lovely little whimsical headband was named after Georgiana Darcy - an elegant and classy accomplished young lady. The pom poms are a vibrant pink and attached are two blue/pink hued silk rosettes
