frecklewonder at fred flare!

remember a while ago, i was hinting at a fun surprise that i was so excited about working on? well, the day has arrived, folks. my pals keith and chris, of the fabulously fun shop FRED FLARE, asked me a few weeks ago to do some vintage buying for them, and of course, who am i to say no to such a request?! it was "totes" so much fun (as the fred flare peeps would say) and i'm very happy to send you over there to check 'em out.

get your hands on 'em quick, ok? there are only twenty and they seem to be moving out pretty quick-like. super thanks and a shout out to keith + chris! thanks so much for asking me to do this. i'm sending the love right back at'chas!!!!!!!

on a slightly different, yet slightly related note, i had an email today that read: cute stuff! but why is everything SOLD? and, why is it all so small? valid questions, if you're new to the site, so i thought in addition to the personal reply i sent to the inquirer, i'd post some info here too. you see, for the most part, i'm the only one behind this site. my hubby, matt, lends a technical hand every once in a while, when we make changes to the design of the site, for example. but i handle all the buying and making, and everything that goes into making it available to you guys. from the modeling of the vintage stuff, measuring it, packaging + shipping it, to the emailing with you fine folks, and all the other behind-the-scene stuff that goes into running a busy web shop, you could guess that it'd be my dream to have a team of buyers and a handful of lovely models to help me out! unfortch, i don't. so it's just me doing the best i can at the most i can handle.

good news though: i'm chipping away at another big shop update, and will keep you guys posted on it's progress. i try to do big updates about every 4-6 weeks, depending on how lucky i am in finding a new stock of vintage, and how much time i have to sit down at the table and make things. as far as the sizing issue goes: i truly make an effort to offer a range of sizes, and most times, you can find anywhere from size 2 to 12 in the shop, but again, it's really anyone's guess what i'll find out there in the land of thrift shops, yard sales, estate sales, etc. if you ever have any special requests, you can always feel free to shoot me an email and i'll see what i can do to help! so head on over to fred flare and snag up an awesome vintage dress for summer. and check back with me soon (sign up to the mailing list!) for a fully stocked shop! lots of love, jenny
