darling dearie turns 1 year old!
dearies,
december 23rd, 2015, i officially introduced my website, darling dearie. now, here we are celebrating our first year! it's been an unbelievable trip around the sun, filled with inspired product additions, lessons learned and growth. i wouldn't trade any of it for the world! i think one of the things i love the most about having my own business is the flexibility to implement changes as quickly as inspiration strikes. you may not know it but i do everything related to my brand, other than one or two areas where mr. dearie assists. it can be daunting because there is always lots to do. still, i love the thrill of learning new things and seeing my little seedling start to grow and flower!
if you are one of many who leave your holiday shopping to the last minute, let me kindly offer my collection of delightful oddments, which make thoughtful and truly unique gifts and stocking stuffers:
do you have a special someone who is a committed holiday shopping procrastinator? then gently, yet firmly, guide them to my website or etsy annex (armed with your particulars, of course). let them know my lovely, one-of-a-kind, slow-fashioned frocks, with generous pockets, are at the top of your wish list.
we can fulfill orders placed through tuesday, december 20th, so they arrive at their destination, within the continental united states, in time for holiday celebrations.
please note that oddments may be ordered online until noon/pst on 12/21 and will still make the official usps shipping deadline.
all shipments from darling dearie require signature confirmation for security and peace of mind, so please plan for someone to be available at the delivery address to sign for it.
i have a new gateway dress available in a lovely black japanese cotton, with bright and colorful cartoon contrast! i chose a mint green zipper for this frock, as the color popped so nicely against the fabric. meanwhile, the bright purple ribbon adds an additional splash of color. i think you'll agree, my "retro hearts" wool felt and vintage button earrings, in purple, chartreuse and hot pink, make a lovely holiday gift combination with the dress.
still looking for the perfect new year's eve frock? may i suggest one of my stunning peacock print mash-up or super mash-up dresses? whether you choose to pair the dress with leggings or skinny jeans and bejeweled flats or fancy heels and a sparkly cardigan, you are sure to be the belle of the ball! you'll also collect many lovely memories (and compliments) as you wear your dress in the months and years to come.
prefer to celebrate in something a little more understated? "gin martini, please" is a perfectly sophisticated way to ring in the new year.
from the dearie family to yours, we wish you a happy and healthy holiday season and spectacular 2017!
until my next missive…
