Meadows and Mermaids: New Dresses

I have been busy sewing new dresses, trying to keep up with sales.
I love the many ruffles in the new mermaid dress. The mermaid apron dress lays over an under dress of seahorses. The bustle is layers of ruffles decorated with trim. The dress spins and twirls.

I also made several reverse knot dresses featuring pink meadows and green and blue flowers. I have been mixing soft floral patterns with stronger geometric ones.

A dress was special ordered for a granddaughter. It was a blue and purple three tiered dress. I am excited to see pictures of the dress on the young girl.

Gift Show Goodies

The shop is full of new goodies we bought at the LA Gift Show. We walked aisles looking for the perfect items to add to the dome. We met many interesting merchants who travel around the globe bringing back with them beautiful merchandise. They were full of passion for their businesses, the villages they support and the many stories they had to share.
The shelves are decorated with silk scarves in rich colors.

There are beautiful Chinese lacquered boxes.

We found intricate bamboo carved boxes, jade bracelets, anklets, skirts, blankets, and prayer flags.

There are new handmade dresses and musical instruments. We also have sage smokers.

Many of the new items are from across the globe, fair trade, organic or handmade.
