A Sorta Fairytale..

A while back, I wrote a post about some changes to the blog, the shop and my life in general.  I felt like I had lost a little of my direction and needed some time to find my way.

After some brainstorming, I've come up with a few ideas:

• The stunning model in the photo above is my lovely daughter, Shannon.  You will be seeing some more of her and her best friend, Jules, as I transition the clothing photos in the shop over to live models.
• The appearance of the shop and blog will be taking on a bit of a vintage/fairytale/literary quality.  You will see a more consistent theme and a lot of the new handmade jewelry and accessories coming into the shop will be inspired by my love of literature.  (Plus there will still be plenty of vintage!)
• I am moving towards making ConstantlyAlice a more permanent source of income.  This means you will see more merchandise coming to the shop on a regular basis.  You may also see me branch out to ebay in addition to my etsy store to give you more purchase options.  Finally, you will certainly begin to see more activity here on the blog!

I have some other treats in store for you..like a holiday season launch beginning at the end of september/beginning of october and maybe even a look book to show you some styling options :)

It's good to be back, and I'm so glad to be sharing with all of you again!

Hugs and Smooches,

How Can You Miss Me if I Won't Go Away??

Hello friends <3  Just popping in with a little update on how things are going!

I have my very first craft fair coming up this Saturday.  I'm SUPER excited and I hope all goes well, because I'd really like to participate in a few more over the holidays.

I've been working on crocheted cowls in various colors like this one:

I plan on making some out of more luxurious materials to sell in my Etsy shop as well (with my fall launch, which I am really looking forward to!)

I'm also going to be adding a few felted hats and berets like the one shown below.

..and speaking of my fall launch, I will have some lovely models (in the form of my daughter and her best friend) to help me out with my photo shoot :)

And one final bit of information..I'm going to be attending this AMAZING exhibit at the Peabody Essex Museum in October about Hats!  I especially love this painters palette one by Dior.

I'll be sure to do a post with plenty of pictures :)

Hugs and Smooches,
