a confession, christmas gift lists & true vintage treasures

december 2019


it's cold outside! in portland, it feels like winter has finally arrived and it's definitely time to layer up before heading outdoors.

dearies, i have a confession for you: i have not sewn a frock in over a year!

shocking, yes? but not really.

when i started my business, my intention was never to create more garments than necessary, nor did i want to follow and contribute to the fashion world cycle of creating new collections for each and every season. my current inventory of one-of-a-kind dresses and pants are still timeless, stylish, versatile and wearable, even though many of them were created several years back. and of course, each dress has been exquisitely sewn to provide you or a special someone in your life, many years of timeless, stylish, versatile wear no matter whether it's purchased in the present or sometime in the future.

though i have not sewn anything specifically for darling dearie, i have been very busy with sewing and creative endeavors for a large project involving our home. i look forward to sharing more details with you as we move into spring 2020.

with the holiday's quickly gaining on us, the last day to place orders for holiday delivery within the u.s.a., whether for garments or oddments, is december 20th. i encourage you to take a moment to review your holiday gift list, then click here, to see what might be the perfect gift to bequeath those remaining on your list. it would not only make me, but also my c.p.a., very happy! additionally, my reprise refashioned frocks remain on sale through december 20th, too.

if you are looking for true vintage, i must share with you that i have opened a small vintage shop on etsy with treasures from my own collection, as well as select items from relatives. as with darling dearie and reprise refashioned frocks, all items offered at glinda gale vintage include free priority mail shipping and lovely presentation.

the entire dearie family is looking forward to the new year and the exciting changes and opportunities it will bring with it. until then, may your holiday's be filled with love, loved ones, and lovely one-of-a-kind treasures.

until my next missive...


xoxo

darling
