I am a professional freelance writer from the Mediterranean island of Malta.
I started this blog in November 2009. I had been reading various blogs associated to vintage fashion and jewellery for some time and realised that by having a blog I would have one place where to put all the information, pictures, etc which attract my attention from time to time and which I find it so difficult to keep a track of.
Slowly the blog evolved from a place where I write about my occasional vintage finds and about my own vintage collection, into a place where I help to support artists who specialise in art that features specifically vintage fashion and jewellery.
FairyFiligree has established itself as a blog which features Vintage Clothing, Vintage & Antique Jewellery, and Art, connecting the three together.
The material inside this blog fully supports my basic idea that there are more ways of enjoying art than just buying art to hang on our walls back home. My best kind of art is jewellery which is art that can be carried around wherever you go, every minute of the day, continuously making a statement about your personality, your likes and dislikes.
Then it is all fulfilled by the clothing we decided to carry on our shoulders. It is all about self-expression in such a marvellous way.
Enjoy your visit and keep well.
