Great Saturday at Antique Elegance

I had a wonderful time in Richardson on Saturday at the Antique Elegance Show.  It was formerly the Victorian  Elegance Show.  Scrumptious, museum quality vintage clothing, absolutely breathtaking antique jewelry, Victorian lace, trim, velvet, and buttons, were in abundance. The whole show was very tastefully done.  The show is twice a year and if you love pre-1940's anything, you will love the show. I had a such a great time.

Today, Sunday, I went to change a few things around in my space at Dolly Python.  It turned into an all day job.  I put up heavy, burgandy colored drapes from the 1920's to shield my space from the sun.  I brought in about 15 pieces of pre-1950's clothing, and Mike put up another chandelier for me. I love my space and I love that store.  Today a camera crew from L.A. came in to do a photo shoot of the store and film Allyson in vintage fashion.  Very different day!  They also bought alot of vintage clothing including a vintage two piece swimsuit and cover-up and two little cotton dresses from the 1940's, that I had for sale.  Great Sunday! http://www.dollypythonvintage.com/

Robin Brown of Magnolia Pearl had a runway fashion "Imaginarium" show yesterday (Sat.), in Fredricksburg, Texas.  I love her clothing and buy as much as my pocketbook will allow.  I would have loved to gone to her fashion show, but the drive was a little to far, especially with it raining so hard.  Her clothing is so totally awesome. http://www.magnoliapearl.com/.

Have a great week you all.

Dolly Python

Hello and hope you are having a good weekend. Just spent the day moving into my new shop in the Dolly Python store. It was very tiring, but exciting. Setting up my props, lighting up the cases, displaying, and meeting new people shopping. Yes, I am excited. It is so exciting to be selling in such a fun shop and with such great people. Gretchen Bell is the owner. She is great. My friend Rob was there to give me some display designs. He is very good. He has a shop there also. John Paul Gaultier recently paid Dolly Python a visit while he was in Dallas getting his installation ready at the Museum of Fine Art. It is called from the Sidewalk to the Catwalk. Very high fashion. Loved it!

Just came off of the Funky Finds Holiday Shopping Experience weekend. Had a great time and sold lots of destash. Saw some old friends. Showed my art and more.

Got an email today from Ariel. She saw my name The Altered Muse on the side of my van while we were in line at Chick Filet and decided to look it up while she was in line. Turns out, she is also an artist in the lofts in downtown Ft. Worth. She loves estate sales as do I! What a nice little note from her. Just shows you never know who is paying attention and watching. Hi Ariel!

Have a good weekend.
