Oh my goodness! Just this last weekend I was over in the Warsaw-ish area of Eastern Virginia where they had many amazing antique stores with pretty pretty shinies that didn't cost a whole lot. I picked up an amazing brooch with painted lilacs on the front which I plan to attatch to some lace to create a collar. surprised
My "scary Southern relatives" (yes, they call themselves that) keep pestering me to visit. There might be another good side than just seeing them!
You know, I never really thought of Virginia as southern. *lived there 'til she was four*

Ooo very pretty. Surprisingly, there are a lot of Victorian/Lolita jewelry like this in gift shops in old southern plantations that ive visited. I bought a pink brooch necklace like that at a plantation near Baton Rouge.

Ugh! I live too close to the perimeter (Atlanta) to get any good antique findings. Though I do past an antique mall a lot <_<
I'm from Lousiana, so this really doesn't surprise me- but you hit one of the biggest jack pots! But really, finding lolita-capable finds in the Southern states shouldn't be that big of a surprise. Has no one seen Gone With the Wind?
My ancestors (sadly, plantation owners) could've been possible lolita gods. XD
