Success

The Foster Row grand opening came and went. Surely a success (yes a success but don't call me Shirley... Airplane anyone?).  Delicate Doilies represented in homemade floral crowns (it was very doily of us). It appeared that people who joined in celebration seemed excited about the new neighborhood space, and everything happening inside. People seemed pleased with the music, and I was pleased that only one record skipped (it was due to a couple dancing too close to the turntables, with too many jumpy moves...come on  people quit having fun!).    There was probably a steady flow of 80-100 people including my friend Brooks above  next to the Foster Row lights and Delicate Doilies signs (photo two). With that, Delicate Doilies will kick off a month long pop up shop in August at Foster Row. I will be playing shop gal one weekend day a week and sure would love to see you.

St Patrick's Day the Doily Way

See us above in our green clothes today. See  (your future) Delicate Doilies green and gold clothes from the shop below.

 In honor of St. Patrick's Day we have written a Delicate Doilies Patty themed limerick. Ahem...

There once was a vintage shop

with oodles of goodies over the top.

'Twas on st Patrick's day many dollars came the doily way,

 and the good people shopped till they dropped! 

A Delicate Doilies Cartoon World Premiere

It's official, Delicate Doilies has turned two years old! Though our birthday was February 14th, we didn't want to take too much attention away from the state of Oregon (who turned 155 that day). Regardless, please enjoy our short cartoon, and shop our shop. 

Sold!

These items left the shop faster than you could say "delicate doilies delicate doilies your new favorite shop for all the girls and boylies" (cough a thousand times backwards).  Don't fret fine fashion friends, there are more gems to go around! See for yourself.

Masked Bandits

Here's the thing, while Delicate Doilies quietly collects more goodies to get into our shop, we have been fine tuning our face mask making skills (and refining the fine lines in our blimey faces). We are getting rather good at this whole face off thing (not to be confused with the action packed 1990's movie featuring John Travolta and Nick Cage), and are experimenting in both ingredients and colors (see above for living proof).  So far we have learned that apple cider vinegar is a miracle worker, and cinnamon (photo 2) burns like the dickens (and I'm not talking about Charles). 

Delicate Doilies Fall Look Book

Better late then never right? This over due post would have the library calling me left and right, and giving me late fees (if  it were a checked out book that is). You might recall the very last post I posted before nothingness a month ago, The Delicate Doilies Fall Music Video , these photos were taken by the talented Aljon Reyes (the same day). Aljon sure has an eye for colors, a vision for composing, and a knack for clicking the button at the right moment (am I right or am I right?). Aljon if you are out there, we owe you a hand shake, a thank you, and I don' know... a steak dinner! Seriously, thanks for capturing Delicate Doilies in our kooky, finest, fall wear.

In honor of our 2013 Fall look book shoot (that we shot today with our talented and admired friend, Aljon), Delicate Doilies is pleased as punch to release our third "feature film!" Enjoy!

Save the Date

Delicate Doilies will have a booth at First Friday (9/6/13) in front of the one and only Haunt. Be there or be square. 

Portland Flead

On July 21st, 2013 Delicate Doilies took our shop to a whole new level... The Portland Flea, people (the Portland Flea). I was going to title this "Flea Your Mind and the Rest Will Follow" but I wasn't sure how many En Vogue fans were out there (reading my blog at this very moment), because EnVogue fans in the world are clearly endless... clearly). The Flea day was grand, full of $5 bins and people watching. Thanks to everyone who popped by to say hello. Don't fret if you missed it, we tentatively will be booth bound at First Friday in September in front of the beloved shop Haunt. Stay tuned.

This is tomorrow. See you there!
