No.1 Red Berries
I must apologise for the appalling pun in the title of this post, but I couldn't resist. We are so excited about the arrival of all these fabulous vintage stamens it makes us feel like dancin'. Just be very grateful I can't work out how to upload music to the blog or your could be humming along to a Bee Gees tune or two, (and you know how those kind of songs get stuck in your head over and over all day!) So whether you're a mother or whether you're a lover...... you know the rest.
I can't even begin to tell you how much stock has arrived this week, we have some of the most fabulous vintage Swiss millinery braids we have ever had, lovely new petite feathers in the most gorgeous colours (perfect for men's hats or making your own feathered decorations.)
New ribbons, fabrics, flowers, vintage silk veiling, French vintage buttons by the box full (very very big boxes.) I have been sticking prices on like a crazy woman and there is still a mountain to go. We have finally signed off on our new business cards, they are gorgeous, and hopefully will arrive from the printers at any moment.
I have promised a few lovely ladies to post pictures of all the new stamens in catalogue form for easy perusing, phone/mail ordering. I have started to photograph the stock for the online store (seriously, I have just bought a camera tripod and a copy of Photography for Dummies!) Thank you for your patience, I promise it is on the way.

Hope you have a bit of Saturday Night Fever this weekend, how hot was Travolta in that white suit?! Sharp.
