I found these photos of gorgeous stacks of Bakelite bangles on Flickr, and just had to post them up. I love big chunky bracelets like these, but I can’t possibly justify them in my suitcase and it’s not a great idea to wear bangles when swing dancing, so I don’t own any at all. *sigh*Â Another “when-I-stop-travelling-and-settle-down-somewhere” daydream. Here’s Dita rocking some Bakelite:
oh! i’m drooling!
I too have a weakness for Bakelite bangles! More like a habit for purchasing them lol! Oh well, what is a girl to do?
XO,

I think I fell in love when I found and then possibly broke a bakelite bracelet belonging to my
Mother. None of us got in trouble for that but I know she treasured it as she kept it ALWAYS
in a small box among other things.
Several years ago, I got hooked on searching for bakelite and I now have a stack of probably
7 bracelets — but I can’t decide when or where to wear them. Several are craved, some are
plain and I have a nice collection of different shades.
