hello dears

i hope this note finds all of you well, happy and living life with a huge appetite for more

personally, i have been living life these days with a perfect absense of balance...

for a feet-on-the-ground-girl like me, life has forced me to peel my hands from the roller-coaster bar and throw em on up in the air! woo-hoo!

so here we go...(again)

exciting news to share from shop-land...

there's a new shop in town & i must say it's a large time!

ms shelly (chief junkster) of the wUn-der-fUll rust and roses has opened a new clothing/bauble boutique...

Sirens & Saints

and guess what?! she's letting me play shopgirl!!! the closest thing to heaven for a girl like me

i think i'm back to where i was when i got lost...nothing like a perfect skipabeat moment!

shelly has filled her shop with some curl-your-toes prizes (you might even find a few of oLiVes old favs!)

please come round to say hi...

i've missed you all so...

oLiVes spirit is very much with me still...

sometimes in the morning when i turn the key i see that one-booted girl running around! (i swear!)

a few of you have found your way to the shop already & trust...seeing you has curled my toes

so from my heart to yours...thanks for all the LoVe this last year

look for "Sirens & Saints" right next to "Rust and Roses"

(west side of 7th ave just north of indian school rd...along the Melrose Curve)

come shop the curve Tuesday-Saturday from 10-5

i'll be the girl waiting for you behind the counter...waiting to play dress-up

it is with a heavy heart

and a BiG 'oL SiGh...

life has once again been like a snow-globe and has shape shifted quite suddenly (i must say)

sadly...breaks the last of my little heart...i've had to close olive

i find it difficult to even type those words...

olive, for me has been one of those "dream BiG" things they talk & write songs about

olive was created out of inspiration gleaned from admired designers & fellow shop girls...

she came about on a wing and a prayer (as they say) and lots of "pretty pleasing" to my family...i s0000 wanted my own shop and my family (often at great sacrifices to them) lifted me up in full support so the dream could be reached.

i have to say with her and all of you i have been blessed

she was a dream that actually came to be...how lucky!

so thank you dear friends

i have loved all your sweet faces

shake! shake! shake! goes the snow-globe

what's next for olive and i? hmmmmm

we'll stay in touch...and who knows...maybe olive will shape shift again...

trunk shows anyone? have amazing finds...will travel! 

our moving was a sudden decision...certain to have caused a bit of confusion and swirl...

we have been trying to get the word out to our email subscribers that shopping is still available...

all prizes are available thru either trunk shows, purchasing prizes shown on web

AND

we've gone back home (to where we started)...

through the month of july we have a selection of Olive prizes (most 25-50% off!) available for sale at Sage Antiques (located at 335 w McDowell rd in phoenix)

hope to see y'all soon...missing you already!

(& olive...of course!)
