hello, dearie, long time no missive!
october 2025
dearies,
oh, my giddy aunt! it has been nearly two years since my last missive. i hope you are well. for any new subscribers or curious cats, you may catch-up on my general goings-on (#dearielife) on instagram (darling_dearie) and/or here on my website.
the sheer curtains are washed and ready to go, which means this fall and winter i can be found under my pretty pink tent at presby pickins' in fountain hills. there may even be a coordinated area rug, too!
as i have in the past, i will be mailing "save the date!" postcards via u.s.p.s. to those of you on my mailing list. please send me an email (darling@darlingdearie.com) with your first and last name and complete mailing address if you would like to be added or need me to update your address since winter/spring 2024.
each time i engage in a local event, my best laid plan is to not bring everything and the kitchen sink. this year, i solemnly swear i will be more intentional and offer a modest and thoughtful representation of my textile arts. this means at each event i will offer a very small selection of items that reflect the season: fall/thanksgiving, winter/christmas, valentine's day/spring. however, i also have a new fun item to debut starting at the november market: mystery treasure parcels! currently available in two sizes, each of these decorated boxes contain one-of-a-kind and unique items including vintage button hair pins, tassel key chains, hand stamped ribbons and custom stickers. the real mystery is even i don't know what is in each one because they all look the same once assembled, but it will be fun for the recipient to find out! they also make great hostess gifts or stocking stuffers, too.
a reminder: if you're a local and find yourselves smitten with something special in my online boutique, presales are always welcome, and they may be claimed, at will-call, at my next presby pickins' event.
rest assured, no matter if something is mailed or set aside for will-call, it will be done up in my signature packaging for a beautiful presentation.
dearies, i look forward to seeing you at my pop-up shop in the coming months. returning dearies, i also ask a favor: please re-introduce yourself to me to refresh my memory, especially if it has been a while since our last in-person connection!
until my next missive...
xo,
darling
