When I was researching the compact from my previous post, I came across this amazing blog that's chock full of great information and drool-worthy pictures of vintage and contemporary compacts. Run by Jane Johnston, Director of Vanroe Compacts, the blog has incredibly useful articles on a variety of topics related to vintage compacts, like how to start your own compact collection (invaluable for me, as I'm still just scratching the surface of vintage makeup), how to refill a vintage compact, and brand histories.
Ms. Johnston seems quite knowledgeable, so I'm wondering if she can help me track down another one of these vintage Stratton compacts with mermaids on it…that's one I definitely need. :)
