As we continue the Melrose Crawl I'm now taking you to a favorite Shop for filling your Closets with Boheme' Splendor, FRILLY FROCKS!
Whether you're looking for the perfect Bohemian Bag, Accessory or Ensemble... or desire a Custom Made OOAK Outfit, this is the place to go.
My Friend Angela is one of the Sweetest, Talented and most Generous and Giving people I know... I just Love her and she's such an Inspiration and Uplifts the Spirits every time we visit. And this day she totally caught me off guard by giving me a Surprise Present for no particular reason or special occassion at all... just because!!!!!!! A genuine Love Gift because that's how she rolls. And it was SO Special and Unexpected that it brought tears to my eyes... and I was at a loss for words, speechless... which almost never happens! *LOL* A gorgeous Frock by one of my favorite new Designers, 'Wings Of Lace'... {Insert my Heart fairly standing still and sharp intake of Breath!} ... and the Reveal... if you can stand the Suspense without immediately scrolling down {Winks}... is at the bottom of this Post!
Every Designer's Work in the Shop is absolutely amazing... Shop Owner and Friend, Leslie, stocks fabulous and flattering Fashions for every sized Woman... and is a Talented Fashion Designer and Artist herself, as is Angela... and I really appreciate that the Inventory isn't all in a Size 6. *Smiles* I get so weary of most Boutiques with killer Fashions catering to only the slender figured or diminutive stature sized Woman... because us Gals come in all shapes & sizes in Real Life! *Smiles* And ALL of us want to look and feel fabulous, right? *Winks* With Fashionable ensembles that fit properly, are comfortable, Stylish and Showcase our Feminine Forms in a flattering way. And there are particular items that as Rachel Zoe would say, "I Die!" when I behold... such as the hand-dyed hand-made Velvet Hats by 'Seeds'...
An amazing Artist & Fashion Designer from my favorite 'Disneyland Of Funky Places', Jerome, Arizona.
If you're looking to envelope yourselves in lucious Fabrics of every description...

Muah and a big Hug my Friend... you are too good to me!!!
When I got it Home I hung it here and hung it there and hung it everywhere to get the right Shots to share with you... I was scurrying around the Acreage with the Frock billowing out behind me and a camera in my hand like a Dr. Seuss Character... as the Young
Prince and his Friends looked on and we all laughed. Yes, I was quite entertaining and giddy with excitement at my new Gift!
And I can hardly wait to wear it! Thank you my Friend... you shouldn't have... but I'm glad you did! *Winks* And I Promise I've got some Surprises in store for you too that I Hope you're gonna just Love and I'm excited to be making for such a Dear Generous Soul who is so deserving of every Blessing and Good Fortune that comes her way!!! The Divine Laws of Reciprocity never fail you see... because those that are a Blessing to others are always Blessed and Favored of the Lord in return... sincere Goodness of Heart, Loving others and flowing in the Fruits of the Spirit never return void!
