shop preview: 1950s Pendleton, a fireside sweater, copper beadwork, and a 1930s dream


I'm having a most hellacious time getting shop photos taken right now with the lack of natural light, which is why my shop previews keep getting more and more delayed every week.  Nonetheless, I did manage to get some great things shot, including a 1950s Pendleton dress, an incredible 1930s printed crepe dress and jacket, a 1940s copper beaded lace dress, and more.

The first and third dresses are already in the shop, the second item sold immediately (well, look at it!), and the rest will be arriving in the shop shortly!
