Here at The Sparkle Factory the circus comes to town every day and is a constant well of inspiration for many of our collections.
Our most recent vintage circus / carnival themed treasures come from "MIDNIGHT CIRCUS" & "TILT-A-WHIRL". These collections feature distressed beads and vintage ephemera inspired imagery in micro embroideries along with custom circus themed star and elephant beads. It seems that we are not alone in ushering in a circus themed spring, check out the trailer to the upcoming Water For Elephants film based on the popular novel.

INTRODUCING...TILT-A-WHIRL COLLECTION
Garish carousel horses spin and swoon in their tattered pastel regalia. Tilt-a-Whirl is a love affair with the carnival in all its chipped and rusted glory. Swoops and dives that leave you gasping for breath, mile-high candy floss, and melting sno-cones converging in a dusty summer sunset. Folk art beads, micro embroideries, and candy striped components pair with the gorgeous coral-pink of rare Padparadscha crystal. Come take a walk through the noisy midway and steal a kiss in the wild fantastico lighting.
