in the shop & a winner

I feel like it's been ages since I've had a substantial shop update. I'm working on that, promise! Until that point, here are a few lovelies that will be going up in the shop this afternoon. It's hard to let that 1940s silk number go, but alas, I am.

I'm also excited to announce the winner of last weeks Abbey's Accessories giveaway. Congratulations to Olygirl, who will be receiving the 1950s faux fur beret just in time for holiday outings!

AND...I almost forgot! I'm offering free domestic shipping in the shop this week so head over and take advantage of some most excellent savings. All you need is the coupon code, HolidayLove!
