Well, I can now officially announce that the grand-opening of my new on-line shop will be tomorrow, Friday, October 1st, at Noon (EST).
I am very excited about this new adventure. Over the past year, I've thought long and hard about what I wanted my shop to be. I knew that I wanted it to truly reflect my love for all things vintage, floral, pastel and pretty. In keeping with this, you can expect to find everything from vintage millinery flowers and floral fabrics to pretty sprinkles and candies.
There will be vintage craft supplies and sparkly jewelry, as well as pretty things for your home and festive party and holiday decorations.
I also wanted my shop to be a place where everyone can find something to put a smile on their face - no matter what their budget. In this economy, I am well aware that everyone has less disposable income than they once did. So, whether you have two dollars to spend or two hundred, you'll be able to find something pretty and affordable.
I have also kept in mind some of the things that I like (and don't like) when I personally shop on-line. For example, I'm sure we've all ordered something, only to receive it and be completely disappointed because it's not the color or size that we expected. For this reason, I have made a concerted effort to take lots of large, clear photos of each and every product and to provide detailed descriptions. I want you to see exactly what you will be getting.
And please keep in mind that this is just the beginning. While I have put a good number of items in the shop, I will constantly be adding more in the weeks and months to come. I also have lots of wonderful projects in the works - including vintage craft kits and some of my very own designs as well.
Such Pretty Things, The Blog, will continue on as usual. In fact, I hope to be posting more frequently now that I have some of this store stuff behind me. :-) The holidays are coming and I have lots of party and decorating ideas to share - as well as recipes, crafts, Target Tuesdays, and more fabulous vintage finds.
So, I hope you will join me back here tomorrow...
XOXO
Jessica

You must be so excited!! I can't wait to see what you have in "store" tomorrow. :D I have been following your blog for quite some time now, so I know your shop is going to be absolutely lovely! I will definitely be a customer. I'm in the process of getting an Etsy account up and running. I want to sell homemade greeting cards. So, I will definitely be looking for items I can use for my cards.

Hey Girl!
LOVE your new store and already bought my first item from you. Those mini colored marshmallows will be perfect for a Harvest party I'm throwing. I'm going to have the kids make their own caramel apples and I'm sure they'll love adding these! I can't imagine how sweet they'll be, but they'll love them!
Very pretty indeed!
