our Tattered Rose is BACK!

Like a veil has been lifted.....

As of yesterday, the scaffolding & plywood that completely obscured the front of Tattered Rose is gone!

It was so nice to see the world through our windows again...and that church across the street...and to have customers just wander in because they noticed the store.

We must take comfort in the small things when we can.

 

Love,

Tattered Rose

PARKING at Tattered Rose...

The people working on the condo building our shop is in have taken over our customer parking space at the back of the building....at least for most of the summer.

You may park in one of 3 visitor parking stalls along the side of the building or on the street in front.

We apologize for this inconveninece and hope it doesn't stop you from coming in to see our lovely new items♥

"Le Dîner en Blanc"

A friend & customer of Tattered Rose has, for years, told us of an event that she attends every year....namely "Le Dîner en Blanc" (dinner in white)This magnificent event began in Paris in 1988 and has grown to cities all over the world!

To this event, you must wear all white and only white. You bring your own food and chairs and table and friends. It takes a great deal of planning & dedication. (I'm getting tired just writing about it)

You are then whisked away to your secret venue somehow....maybe on a bus? You and your other Dîner en Blanc enthusiasts set up your tables, show off your white outfits & wigs and then proceed to prepare your dinner to eat.

Since this is a "secret" event, you have to be invited. How you get invited is a mystery to us but this is what I know:  if they ever have a Brunch in Black event, I might consider going to that...mostly because I don't wear white except for when I get married. But, oh what fun this White Dinner seems to be!

Please click on the video below to see the wonderful world of Le Dîner en Blanc. It will surely inspire you to snaggle an invitation...or at the very least, wear something white!

P.S. Tattered Rose naturally has a concise & lovely collection of white wear for those who attend this prestigious event.
