Great, good, excited...

These are all the things I've been feeling over the past few days. Finally, everything is coming together and becoming quite exciting.

Every customer I have had at Dethrose the past two weeks have simply been the sweetest! You are all really taking advantage of the sale items and the new stock has been really well received. It really makes my day making my little packages to send off to you! So I am adding more and more this weekend but that will be it until thee 2nd week of September. I have the 2 really big sales on the 22nd and the weekend of the 4th of September. One of course is the Vintage Bazaar and the other is Vintage Heaven. Stay tuned for some special offers if you come to either one of these vintage sales.

I'm also anticipating the return of a really rad and lovely person to Chicago and when that happens I hope some really awesome photos and something huge for Dethrose will be taking place. That's all I can say right now but it's going to be something truly great!!

Oh! and the return of another lovely friend that has been on vacation for far too long! I'm so ready for his arrival and can't wait to have a blast!!! Mwah!!

Here are some of the new items I have posted yesterday and today! And don't forget to check out the items I have marked waaaayyyyy down!!

1. 1960's Vintage Saks Fifth Avenue Skirt (25w)

2. 1950's Vintage Cotton Candy Stripe Blouse and Skirt (Small)

3. 1960's Navy Viki Original Handbag

4. 1960's Tan Leather Parisian Handbag

Happy then Sad

This week has been a pretty great week. Despite some stressful moments, I have been able to unwind with friends. Celebrated a few birthdays, went dancing, karaoke involving Gaga, Whitney and Danzig, so much fun! 

Not to mention, getting a few things that brought a huge smile to my face!! My bike and a gorgeous vintage feather ring. Now, the bike is wonderful, I ride it everyday. But the ring...this is a truly sad story. I bought the ring from my friend Alma, who is the wonderful lady who puts together Vintage Heaven with my friend Isa. This ring was, yes was, truly fabulous. I put it on and didn't take it off for 2 days. The feather is one of my favorite things and the green stone was absolute perfection. It went with everything! One of those things that makes every outfit interesting. Unfortunately, the ring had a very short life. I put it on my finger the other day, moments later, I look down and sadness struck! The stone was gone! Gulp. I am so upset about this, i didn't even have time to fully bond with ring. Luckily, I was able to get a photo with it.

A Memorial.....

ps. if anyone knows I can replace a stone please let me know! I am in such love, I can't even explain.

Bee-autiful!!

I have finally posted on Max & Chloe Vintage some beautiful accessories I got over Christmas down south. I really want to take some time this year to learn more about Vintage jewelry.

A little renovation to the blog and the my Etsy store is going to be under way. So prepare yourselves, it's going to be fantastic!! Yippie, I can't wait!!
