Hello! I am Bingus Wife ( She/they 30s Texas ) and I may or may not have spent like two grand on fabric and costume jewelry...
Brass Tacks:
All of the items in my shop were either purchased second hand, inherited, or hand made by either me or my partner. ( I got a trunk of jewelry from my aunt and grandmothers and live walking distance from TWO thrift stores, THREE pawn shops, an antique shop, and a bead lady... in prime estate sale conditions... so... qwq ).
Because I am tumblr only, you'll have to im / ask me directly about the item you wish to purchase if you'd like to buy something.
Shipping is $10 flat for orders less than $50, $5 for orders over $50, and free for orders over $100. No exceptions. Once you give me your address and I take your order to the post office, I'll message you with it's tracking number.
Custom jewelry is $3 an hour plus material costs, and custom garb ( clothes and bags ) are $15 an hour plus material cost.
I am @ FussFuss on venmo and @ FussFussFuss on paypal.

A Few FAQs:
THE VIBE: There are Four ( 4 ) primary aesthetics to expect. Hippie Pirate: mermaid grunge, pirate core, stoner boho, beach bum, folk art, adventure core, psychedelic, traditional textiles, renfaire hippie, tribal fusion / belly dancer, 18th century revival, the occasional y2k adventure movie. Whimsigoth: 1990s celestial, 1970s medieval revivalist, 1980s and 90s dark fantasy, witchcraft or witch core, historical fantasy, Halloween, museum goth, artisanal goth, pagan aunt, faerie core, maximalist, sacricore. Pennsic Pilgrim: renaissance faire anachronism, castle core, traditional handicrafts, librarian core, archeological re-creation, iron age revivalist, medievalist, ...actually literally all historical revivalist movements involving the paleolithic age to about the 1650s ce, ( rarely ) light academia. And Eco Punk Whimsicraft: visible mending, utopian scholastic, low waste or zero waste, found object, funky grandma, global village coffee house, traditional flower power, recycled or up-cycled, 1990s children's tv, thrift core, slow fashion, radical arts and crafts, trash collage, hope core. Common visual aesthetic elements to expect overall: historical fantasy, cultural or folk, vintage, trinket culture, reclaimed materials, natural gemstones, patchwork, sea shells, glass beads and lampwork, brass amulets, tie died cottons, funky knits, safety-pinned accessories, tea staining, vivid plums, earth tones, jewel tones, and black re-dyes. TLDR: You will look either like Miss Frizzle if she was an art teacher, a hyper-eclectic or eccentric archeologist, what Americans think a fortuneteller looks like, or, well, a Hippie Pirate.
Haggling is allowed but good luck lmao. Pricing is determined by the item's size, materials, condition, and my pure and utter bias for how pretty I think it is.
I will try to describe items to the best of my ability, however I do mostly resort to guess work for second hand items. If the tag says linen, I will assume it's linen; if it's stamped for silver I'll assume it's silver; if I think it's plastic I'll label it Plastic? etc.
On that note: Quality varies, as second hand items may be permanently damaged or low quality and the skills of my partner and I range between phenomenal and toddler with a hot glue gun. I'm happy to answer questions and provide photos when asked.
Regarding size, I will have loose descriptions for jewelry, accessories, and trinkets. Garb, clothing, rings, and shoes, however, will be provided both the size printed on the item itself and sewing measurements or other measurements taken by me. Note that second hand items may have stretched or shrank from their marked size, and that my measurements will not be exact.
Also note that my measurements are in inches ( American (sorry)), and that most of the clothing here will hover around XL, as these items either used to be mine or I was the mannequin for it's construction. I will never use the term Men's or Women's.
I very rarely have multiples of items, BUT in rare cases custom options are available. But do note that custom items are way more expensive and will absolutely take forever, and almost never look exact to the referenced item.
All pngs I make are free to use and will usually be connected to the item that is for sale. Liking and commenting is fine, but reblogs are very very appreciated.
The program I use to make pngs is Pixlr. I will never use it's ai tools or functions and THIS BLOG IS EXTREMELY ANTI AI.
I will on occasion reblog other people's work either as an Aesthetic post or to promote an artist I enjoy. I will never claim the work or others as my own, and will always tag the posts accordingly. If you as a creator wish for me not to reblog or promote your posts, I am happy to take them down if asked.
This is a SIDE BLOG. I'm not neurotypical enough to make a new account sorry.
Posting will be very very sporadic, but messages will be answered as soon as possible. I try to post about three ( 3 ) items a day at least. Key word TRY qwq.
I RETAIN THE RIGHT TO REFUSE SERVICE FOR ANY REASON AND WILL BLOCK AND SOFT BLOCK AS I SEE FIT.
ABSOLUTELY NO REFUNDS.
