people come in all sizes

by JoAnn

I’ve been meaning to address this topic for a long time.  Being in this business, I spend hours every week helping women and girls try on and shop for clothing.  Body size, clothing size, weight, shape, body image and shame come up constantly in conversation.
Sometimes it makes me so sad and frustrated. I get some of [...]

Mystery customer search

by JoAnn

A few months ago a customer left some things for me to look at to buy and gave me an email address to contact her.
Much to my dismay The email address wouldn’t go through!  I usually take names and phone numbers but this lady seemed hesitant to give me that so I didn’t press.
So- if [...]

Christmas is here, ready or not!

The shop has been busy and so have I.  I’ve found so much fun vintage Christmas jewelry and folks love it.  It is so much more charming then the new stuff.  My favorite piece is a graceful reindeer pin leaping into the air complete with red rhinestone nose!
Julie and I took a field trip to [...]

Holiday Stuff!

Yikes! How did it get so late in the year?
