So SaraCura will be in Richfield on May 9th & 10th with her henna paste and a selection of fun merchandise.

Couture and costuming
Just now a young lady from the U dropped into the shop to pick up a jingling bracelet for her odalisque costume for a Halloween party.
She tipped me off that our coin jewelry is going to be fast-moving this season due at least in part to a steamy fashion spread in W magazine, featuring Kate Moss in a Turkish bath and dancing costume. (Go Kate! We may not look much alike, but she's nearly my age, anyway.)
This morning a statuesque sorority sister came by for a beaded headdress, to portray Cleopatra, and yet another told me she's going to be Nike, the Greek goddess of victory, and needed a gold scarf.
I do love this season of costumes!
Here are a couple of photos that my best friend snapped of me trying on shiny things from the store. Please pay no attention to my Superman blue hair. What's the point of owning one's own business if one can't also make the dress code otherwise?
In the first picture, a copper colored satin skirt with a trumpet flounce, and a stretch velvet overskirt with metallic palette spangles. The overskirt is made by Nancy Fetzek here in town, and features an adjustible velcroed waistband.
The second shows that same lovely satin underskirt and a top skirt of black stretch velvet and chiffon with silver sequins. There's only one of each of these items, the black skirt is a size small.
The choli top you see in these pictures was made by Candace Davis of Calista Designs, also in town here. We have a selection of styles, colors and sizes of her work.
And this beaded collar and earring set is by Spindler's Web. I love the way it hangs, and the vintage feel of the violet and chocolate color scheme!
It was such a gorgeous afternoon for showing off! You're welcome to come in and try them on too.
