one year anniversary sale!

It doesn't quite feel like it's been this long, but tomorrow marks one year since I opened my shop on Etsy. To celebrate, I'm having a little sale in my shop- all items are 20% off until Friday. I've learned so much in the past year and I'm excited to see what this next year brings. Thank you to anyone who has supported me thus far!

letters from the past.

Do you remember a year ago this time? I still have the comic valentine which I received then, also the good one that came afterwards. I have to laugh to think what a kid I was. But then one couldn't blame me. Spoiled as I was by those I met. I don't think you would know me now.

Yours Sincerely,

Myrtle

like a dream.

i know i say this about a lot of dresses, but this 1920s lanvin dress truly has to be one of the best dresses of all time. it's simple and classic, and it's by far one of my absolute favorites. infact, i could fashion my entire dream wardrobe out of vintage lanvin.
