I've decided to charge head on into developing The Boutique in terms of adding items that will appeal to "Rococo Girls" like us - vintage teacups and saucers, crafty kits, hats, my own costume pieces and screenprinted t-shirts, vintage clothing, bits and bobs, lovely things I find out on shopping excursion. I kicked it off today with re-shooting the American Duchess t-shirt collection and updating the Etsy listings, for a more cohesive and professional look. I photographed the hats at the same time, and will continue to add items as I find them! Also on the docket are embroidery patterns, embroidered caul and cap kits, eBooks, cockade kits, who knows what else!

And finally, I can't believe this, but two of my jacket designs that I uploaded to a website called Garmz.com, about 2 weekends ago, are in the top voted spots! "October Foxhunt" is #1 out of everybody else on the site, and "Raindrops" is #3! I think this means that the jacket will go into production, be proto-typed, then made "for real," in all sizes, and sold in Europe. I am utterly stunned and incredibly excited! Thank you ALL for your support and your votes and your love!!!
