jeu·nesse do·rée \zhœ-nes-dȯ-ˈrā\ n. gilded youth; wealthy, stylish, sophisticated young people.
I recall two words from many years ago that symbolized both the elegance and rowdiness
of Gatsby – jeunesse dorée, or gilded
youth. The combination conjured images of socialites, world travel, fashion, frivolity, and decadent parties with a laissez faire approach to experiencing the pleasure
of all the gifts life has to give. It represented a freedom I knew nothing
about but have tasted maybe once or twice as a student with all of the free
time in the world (even without being anywhere near financially prosperous).
I
always knew that I had other interests too – fashion, photography, and jewelry – so
I created a new shop with the intent of keeping my paintings and prints separate while
moving forward with products that would embody an essence of style. With this
second shop, I’m coming back to my original online selling roots with my hand-assembled photography note cards once
again. In the future, I will also be bringing you inspired home goods and wearable items. With this new venture, I expect it will bring more changes and modifications. In the meantime, welcome to Jeunesse Dorée! Correspond fashionably - and with flair.
Wonderful Kim!! Your cards are beautiful....I'll head over to check out your shop on Etsy. xo, Suzanna
