Area 58 Fall Fashion Postview
This place and it’s owners (Dennis and Connie) are so rad I wanted to do a little collective bargaining and score us a deal at this sweet vintage shop. They are giving us 15% off all our purchases for this special Shrinking Violets event.
We’re calling it a “Postview” in contrast to the “preview must buy new to be fashionable for the next season” messaging we’ve been receiving our whole lives.
I’ve been really lucky at Area 58 in the past and have found a vintage purse, a secondhand wallet, mugs, skirts, shoes, an owl potholder, lots of jewelry and I was even eyeing a desk made at Kaiser Aluminum until someone else bought it before I could make up my mind.
If anyone is interested in helping to jazz up the event (think live music and/or snacks) please let me know at shrinkingvioletsociety@gmail.com.
Meanwhile, tell your girlfriends and RSVP on Facebook at:
See you then!
Hey everyone!
I’m thinking of making Fudge Brownie Mini-Tarts thing, which is basically a mini brownies in a tart crust with a frosting. Or cookies.
OK, well that was pretty productive to say the least!
I found a leather mini-skirt, two pairs of earrings, a vintage french press, a bomber jacket, a mint green dress and a costume for my mother’s drum group.
Several people joined the mailing list and all together we made off like bandits for ~$150. Way to go Violets!
Dear Mariah,
On behalf of Area 58, I’d like to say THANK YOU for the fun time and good fellowship–ladiesship?–last evening. The event was a great success, and we look forward to hosting the Shrinking Violet Society again soon.
Best regards,
Dennis Held
