Hello, Friends! Happy New Year! I hope you all have had great kick off to 2019 and joyful holiday season!
For me, the time between Thanksgiving and New Year's has been filled with a whirlwind of activities and blessings -- including site visits and research for convention, a visit to a fabulous exhibition, and "fun" with dear friends who cheerfully helped handset rhinestones on 135 dresses or made hats and jewelry in preparation for our "Sophisticated Lady" fashion arrivals.....which I'm happy to report have started coming in! Smile
I hope to have everything packaged to begin shipping within the next couple of weeks . If you would like your fashions shipped as they are ready, please let me know asap so I can plan to ship those first. I will try to hold orders if requested, but may need to go ahead and ship due to time and space constraints.
The following fashions are now in stock! Most are complete with jewelry and shoes, but we are still waiting for a few to be completed...
Virtuoso $185 ice green, $210 pink/blue Nearness of You $175 Blue Love $175 Alfresco $155 Be Bop A lula $145 Espalier $175 Extraordinaire $165 Templare Bronze $175 Trigere Happy $145 Buckeye Beauty $150 The Girl Most Likely $150 Only You $140 Rockin Robin $150 Shake Rattle and Roll (partial order) $140 Apparels of Pauline $175 Arcade $145 Bye Bye Love $155 Cannes Debut $150 Chandler $170 Kate The Great $160 La Tortue $150 French Flair $150 Shop Around 165 Stan Hywet Recital $170 The Hepburn Essence (Partial Order) $185 Town and Country Club $150 Whiskey Island $165
We also still have a very limited number of the following "Sophisticated Lady" fashions: Allegro $165 Libretto $175 Reprise $95 Staccato $160 Acoustic $165 Aragon$160 Dream Lover $150 Peerless $165 Terminal Counter Arrival pink $155 Trigere Happy Too $145 Tutti Frutti -- Raspberry, Orange, Blueberry, Lime True Love$180
And, for another little holiday surprise -- or some might say "Christmas miracle" -- the Glittering Trapeze wigs ordered at Eternal Style FINALLY arrived and are ready to ship! ($125 each)
As manufacturer invoices are due on shipment and must be paid within the next week, it would be a big help if you could please send payment for anything you ordered on the list above. (Hopefully, you were on Santa's "nice" list this year and he brought you some extra Christmas cash!) However, if this is a hardship and you need to pay later, please let me know -- I realize money can be a bit tight during the holidays and I'm happy to work with you on payments.
Checks to arrive by January 13th should be sent to:
Sandra Stillwell 846 Kingsbrook Rd Culpeper, Va 22701
Unless notified differently, checks to arrive later should be sent to: Sandra Stillwell 173 N Main New Haven, Ky 40051
Please do not worry if checks don't arrive by specified dates -- they will be held for me at either address. Contact me if you need to pay by Paypal -- or with any other questions!
I do not have a shipment date for the SL Ilaria Wigs and other "Sophisticated Lady" fashions due to customs issues with fabric shipments -- though, thankfully, the issues have been somewhat resolved. I will keep you updated as I have more news.
The good news about this is that we can still add orders for outstanding fashions -- as long as fabric is available -- IF we do it soon, before production begins! But please let me know asap if you'd like to add anything, as I'd hate for anyone to be disappointed!
As we say farewell to 2018, I think back on moments that touched my heart and the many wonderful people and experiences I was blessed by the past year.... of which your friendships and continued support are among the top!
We are working on some very special plans for 2019, so stay tuned for convention news coming soon! This is one anniversary you won't want to miss!!!
There will, once again, be a limited number of absentee packages for those of you who can't join us for convention -- please let me know if you want to reserve one.
Sending heartfelt THANKS, and my warmest wishes to each of you for a very HAPPY 2019 -- may it be a fabulous year for us all!!
