Sherilyn Fenn and THE Sweater



A while back my friend Madeline sent me a clip of Sherilyn Fenn in Twin Peaks, and she was wearing a sweater that I vowed then I would find before I died. I have NO idea the sweater would essentially, find me! I had a blink a few times when I saw it today at The Church of Vintage on Etsy...and after blinking I snapped it up faster than I have bought anything ever, I think. It's a 1950s sweater with trees! And it's not the same color as Audrey Horn's it is totally the sweater and already, at 10am this morning, my day is MADE! And also here are some photos of Sheilyn Fenn because she is just so dang great to look at.

That is so cool! A story like this makes selling a little more tolerable.

omg!!! That is amazing. God, I loved Twin Peaks. I just sold a cardigan with trees on it (not quite like this one; more abstract) that I *so* wanted to keep.

I love this story. And I now have Twin Peaks music in my head.

Ahhh, Miz Fenn. So lovely!
I've always thought that she could be the love-child of Ava Gardner + Elizabeth Taylor + Vivian Leigh + a dash of Clara Bow.

And that sweater is THE perfect find!

OMG that's the greatest vintage find ever!!! I have a big crush on Audrey Horne...her saddle shoes and the cherry stems thing...perfection! ;-)

Aw, dream come true!

I loved Sherilyn Fenn as Audery Horn in Twin Peaks. She is so sultry..

It's amazing you found the sweater!

Kate said...

Oo, I love stories like this! I once saw a sweater I already owned on the mom from The Wonder Years, but I think I had a more . . . conflicted reaction to that than I would have had if I'd seen my sweater on the noir-ish screen siren Audrey Horne. Nice score!

Funny, I was JUST watching this episode of Twin Peaks on my train ride to Vancouver and thinking about how awesome it was.

i also wanted that sweater real bad! sherilyn fenn was so hot in that show, and all the costuming/sets for twin peaks was so genius.

oh my gosh! i love every character's unique style in Twin Peaks. I actually wrote my first blog entry about it...back when I still actually wrote blog entries :/ I really need to get back to it. How do you find inspiration?

i realize im "tardy to the party" with regards to audrey's sweater find, but i was wondering if there was a label or tag inside you could share? i realize its vintage and the odds of finding another are nil, but for my own obsessed brain im still curious!
thanks, Natalie
