I love this custom made hat from Gypsy Lady Hats
(Actually all of the hats in this shop are amazing, give them a visit!)
Crystals add some much loved "Maggi Bling Need" on this necklace from A Second Time
Must have these goggles from Maelstromme's
This sculpture from Reclaim2Fame is stunning!
And this gorgeous ensemble from Silver Leaf Costumes *Note, listing is for corset only*
(Believe it or not, this is the EXACT outfit I saw at the Faire that sparked my interest! How funny to find the seller randomly online...go go Gadget Internet! lol)
I could keep listing Steampunk beauties forever and I hope I've given you some new things to read and learn about. (Hint: do a Google image search for "Steampunk laptop"...trust me on this one) Steampunk incorporates so many elements (vintage, technology, distressing, metal, textiles, etc etc etc) that I can literally hear the creative brains out there smoking from all of the possibilities, I know mine is! lol :D
Coming up this week are some more vintage family photos and videos by the barrel full! Have a great Sunday everyone!

I just LOVE Steampunk...there is an entire community out there as well as it's very own monthly publication.
Also...if you check out this link, you will see my friend from the U.K, Sarah's interpretation as well:

Dude, steampunk is hot, but you need to put a disclaimer on the top where you tell people to vote for toot. She doesn't have 946 votes, because trying to get an account, and crap is a 2 hour ordeal, just to find out that someone has that same email, and i should sign in. WTF!!
i will try again later. I WAS going to vote for the pic in her t-shirt, the second one! I love that face!!
These are amazing Maggi, I've just also realized that the steampunk revolution is upon us and I love it! Thanks for sharing!! xOxO
I loooooove that top hat! I googled the laptops! Whoa! I'd be to scared to use them in case I broke them ;) They are yum though.
I'm intrigued by steampunk too. And just to make you jealous, I'm going to the first Steampunk Art exhibition in Oxford on Tues :) Going with my kids in half term, they're all interested too. Will post pics on my blog if I can take them

P.S. Thank You for your wonderful comments :D
Best post I've read in forever, this so explains every part I didn't quite get and helped me shop for a new hat at the same time. Lovely.
That hat is SO cool, love it.

These are really cool pictures! Glad I'm not the only one who didn't know about Steampunk! :)
Have a beautiful week Maggi!
great post. thanks for sharing this steampunk stuff. love it.
Awesome post...and thanks for sharing such cool pictures!
thanks for sharing the cool Steam Punk pics, I've been a fan for about 3 or so years now. Even have a costume in the works. Walter painted me some goggles and modified a nerf gun that he painted for me as well. Still working on the actual clothes though. It was HUGE at comic con 2 yrs ago in San Diego and I went to a couple of panels. Flickr has some great steam punk groups as well. Woowee! I love Steam Punk!
Steampunk is amazing! I can't say as though I've worn anything that quite fit the genre before, but given the chance, I'd do so in a heartbeat. It combines my loves of goth and Victorian styles in a such a hip and off-beat way.
Wishing you a marvelous week ahead, honey - happy countdown until Halloween!

If I only had an excuse to wear that top hat!
I love steampunk. Its such an interesting concept, and is now getting to be a bit of a culture. Lots of people dressing up, movies, manga etc being made focused on steampunk
Whoah.. that Gypsy Hat is Killer!! I love it!
never heard of it...but i like it!!! that costume is awesome! wowza!
Steampunk at a Ren Faire? That seems...odd. Of course I've never been to a Renaissance Faire so I have no idea what I'm talking about!
I'm a closet steampunk fan. :) Shhh don't tell. Haha!
