It is officially summer, although by the weather you might think it was still April. We seem to have had a lion's share of rain in Alberta recently. I LOVE a rainy day now and then--that is when I allow myself to dream, to create, to rest without guilt. But I have to admit--this is too much rain, even for me.
That being said, we are not going to let the rain dampen our spirits. There is still beauty in the world, including inside our shop, Tattered Rose, where no rain ever falls.
For years, I have alluded to and outright talked about the idea of an how old attic is a place of inspiration for my shop. This is where you may find old dress forms, tables and a cat or two. And it is where old cedar-lined trunks rest upon wood plank flooring, filled with beautiful clothing from the past, carefully folded in tissue so as to preserve the fabrics.
And while we do carry some vintage clothing in the shop, our items are mostly new, with a nod to the past. This allows our clothing to be beautifully inspired by vintage clothing and yet wearable today. You may have an occasion to wear a soft tulle petticoat skirt that calls for a corset but the following week, you can wear that same petticoat skirt with a pair of distressed brown leather boots and a knitted sweater or boyfriend shirt.
This is where the heart is....this is Tattered Rose♥
