And always remember....It's A Wonderful Life !!

Get on with Your Holiday....and First Night..

The snow has really slowed me down...from sprouting a big leak in my sheepskin boots..which means I had to buy 4 new pair to replace them....well, new to me...that is!


The gang at the shop kept us open everyday during the wet white stuff.....We are here for your retail needs....and now we rest for a day!



We'll return after the hangover subsides and we wake from the steak, the turkey, the yams, the pie and the whipped cream, the mimosa's, and the wrapping is folded and put away for next year!
I have a few last minute auctions on ebay....and the store has coats and other cold weather needs.....sorry I didn't get a pic of the lovely dresses and the Righteous white Tux jacket that the Ghost of Elvis lusts for....
Of course I"ll be open on Boxing Day....the 26th.
And a Big Deal on First Night !

Maureen Smith

****Maureen spent a year and half in commercial art school right after high school. This almost ruined her and sucked all the joy out of doing art for years. She was a hairdresser, theatre critic, insurance clerk, computer programmer, game, book and comic seller, would be novelist (not necessarily in that order) over the years. Now she tortures David Fewster at work and does art for herself at home. And loving it! P.S. It's David's fault.****

But meanwhile.....it's the Holidaze.......
Here's some music.....

my kids have seen me dance drunk to this many many many times....

this always makes me cry !!!

Surprise...I love this SONG...and everyone cool hates The fucking Eagles....

and just for fun....Charlie Sexton.....you MUST check this out!!! OMG !!! 80s 80s 80s 80s....

Furry, Cold and Pink too....

Making special things for Winterfest....not seen in the shop...kinda special editions....that will see the light of day at the show on Dec 13 & 14.

I hope you folks with some spare time are helping out with Winterfest....because I have no time for anything now but work work work...like a Tacoma version of Santa's little middle-aged crafty elf!! And I hope they don't think I need some elf storage !!

The weather person said it was gonna get Cold...tonight...I just listed some fun furs and some vintage furs (Larchmont Furriers, Tacoma)
for holiday fun.....

We may do it....for love or money or for a costume...but here's a lovely 50s ballgown that was Mini 'd....I found it unloved in a box at an estate sale last summer. I was attracted by the silver lurex threads that glistened in the summer sunshine. So I hemmed it, and cleaned it and steamed it and took a few stitches here and there.....and it's ready to Party again !!

Amazing shelf bust treatment....no fooling around here.....this dress wants to party...and it's a sensible size..a 28" waist !!
