♥Lace Clothing is Like a Window in My Heart♥

It's almost like Christmas this time of year...opening boxes of new arrivals at the store! Yesterday, 2 boxes arrived while a customer was trying things on in the changeroom. It was all I could do to not open them at that very moment.

But after she left with her purchase, I ripped into, I mean I gently cut open the one box...and what did I find? LACE!!! Lace skirts, blouses and coats and cuffs...oh my! The romantic Prairie girl in me was thrilled.

A Vintage Soul

If you have an old soul, you may find yourself being drawn to vintage & antique clothing, jewellery and home decor.

While most of our stock is new, it certainly has that old-world charm and romance that many of us adore.

Tattered Rose.....come out of curiosity. Shop because you just have to..........

"As the Crow Flies" a Gothic Tale by Tattered Rose

On my daily walk this morning, there was a solitary crow at the roof peak of the school I pass by...it was crowing it's heart out. Perhaps, he too was miffed by the loud sounds of children playing in the schoolyard. But I digress....

Actually, it made me think of the colour (or should I say, non-colour) BLACK. As a child, I never wore black. I didn't know about wearing black back then, as it was many decades after the Victorian mourning period, where it was accepted that family members of a lost loved one would wear all black for some time after the death.

When I was about 6 or 7 years old, my older sister, who was about 18 or 19 years old, came back home to live again, after seeing the world for a few years. I would watch with fascination, as she put her makeup on and did her hair while getting ready for a date, wearing black lingerie and sometimes even a black sweater or pants. I noticed the black but still, it wasn't appropriate for children to wear black.

Fast forward to my first real job in business. A young lady who became my friend wore a lot of black and even though I greatly admired her style, I was still into wearing mostly colour with some grey thrown in.....

Then, somewhere down the road, in my own sweet time, I too developed a fondness for wearing black. As most of my customers will attest, I am usually wearing black and/or grey...my two main wardrobe colours and the ones I always feel most like myself in.

There are a lot of us who wear a lot of black and Tattered Rose has plenty of black clothing as well as Gothic & Steampunk-ish  clothing.


Black crows, black cats, black clothing....what do they call it when things just come together like that? 

The End (for now)

Local Songstress Channels Tattered Rose!

For years now one of our talented local singing artists, Rebecca Lappa, has been a customer of Tattered Rose.

https://www.facebook.com/Rebecca-Lappa-gigs-and-music-15…/…/

We are so honoured to have had her wear Tattered Rose creations for some of her performances, award shows and album covers. She has impeccable taste, if I may say.

Now, she has come out with another beautiful album called "Tattered Rose" and we couldn't be more giddy about this. Can't wait to hear the songs from this new album.
Please support this local artist because one day, she will most likely fly the coop and be world-famous. We can all then say we knew her when...

Thank you Rebecca!
Here are a few images of Rebecca, mostly wearing outfits from Tattered Rose, our humble little Edmonton store:
