New photographs of the new dresses

I adjusted the design of the new mod-inspired dresses.

Then we played around in the living room for a couple of hours.

Like this ......







Now I have to make all the sizes.

When they are ready for sale I will update it on my blog.

In the meantime, Happy Holidays ♪

Best wishes,

Happy Holidays, Winter Sales and product updates

Happy Holidays everyone! And best wishes for 2012.

WINTER SALES

As I have been doing each year, the Winter Sales is now on all items in my Etsy shop with discounts up to 30%. A lot of products are last pieces which I do not plan to make any more next year. If you have had an eye on something, it is a great time to check it out.


GIFTS

I love this wonderful festive season, a gift giving season. And I have been receiving a lot of gifts already. I heard that more will come tomorrow;) I would like to share with you some of the lovely gifts I just received.

This cool silver necklace with a heart pendant is from and made by Marie, the owner of MarKhed Design, and a member of the Artisans Gallery Team on Etsy. I love that it is so cool – kind of funky- with the heart. But it is also so sweet at the same time because of how delicate and pretty the whole set is. Thanks so much, Marie.



And the next one is from and made by Joanne, the owner of Gr8 Jewellery, and a member of the coolest friendship team on Etsy, The Dinosaurs. It is a very sweet set of necklace and bracelet. I already picture myself wearing them with a number of my dresses, blouses and skirts. Thanks so much, Joanne.

And another amazing gift is from my customer!!! Liesbeth is a very creative person and makes lots and lots of lovely stuff particularly from wool and glass, which she sells in two shops: one is a real shop in her hometown in Enkhuizen, Netherlands, and the other on Etsy. Both shops are called Stilling. A while ago Liesbeth bought the A-line black and grey skirt from me.

Yesterday I received a card and a lovely fused glass pendant in my mailbox. They are from Liesbeth. The pendant was made especially for me!!! Liesbeth said that the inspiration came from the skirt she bought from me! Aren’t I a lucky girl? I am so honored and flattered. Many thanks, Liesbeth.

NEW DRESSES

Before I took the one-week holidays last month I had made some patterns for new dresses, some of which were inspired by the mod fashion of the 1960s. And in the past weeks I have been making a few of the dresses, which I have had no time to take pictures of until today.

These dresses have already been enjoyed by a number of Dutch customers, who visited me at Christmas fairs in the past weeks. These dresses will be listed for sale on my Etsy shop after the holidays.

LAST PIECES

I have used up the fabric for the brown retro-inspired dress. What I have in the shop are the last pieces. It is now on sales with a discount of 10 dollars. If you have been thinking about owning one, don’t think for too long. The dress is of a limited edition.

But no worries if it is sold out. I am bringing in more dresses in the coming weeks.

First I have to finish the dress which I will be wearing tomorrow night, on the Christmas evening. I will be dining in a restaurant in Rotterdam with my Family and plan to wear something that turns heads;) Come on, it is Christmas!!!!

Happy Holidays to you and your family.

Best wishes,
