Happy New years!

I finally have time to sit down and have a cup of coffee and update you all! I know that my blog has been a little forgotten lately and that would be due to facebook...there are just way to many venues these days with social networking but they are all good :) Anyways this has just been a crazy crazy year we moved to another state, opened a store, moved back to vegas and in the mean time Vintage Lucys was just bursting at the seams and we could not control Nor keep up with it {thats a good thing}.

We had a very very hard time keeping up with all of the retail orders along with our stockists and are hoping for a much smoother year...I want to THANK all of you who patiently waited for orders and mishaps while we tried our best to accomodate the vast amount of orders we where getting.

2011 is very exciting for us we have so much planned for Vintage Lucys and hope to expand our business a bit more and have also employed some peeps to help with the work load this year {major sigh of relief by me} Anyways I wish you all a happy new years and hope you stop by in time to take a peek at our VALENTINE DRESSES

Sweetness!

Ok I know it has been a bit since I have blogged, We have been crazy busy around here with the move back to vegas...gettting kids in new schools and oh yea the business that is one crazy busy aspect of our life lately. Vintage Lucys continues to grow and we are really trying to figure things out around here .....we are so happy with the growth of the company but a little frustrated with trying to get things to run smooth and efficient but we have come this far and Im sure it will be running smooth very soon!

The reason I am blogging besides updating you all is the adorable pictures of my customers! I only actually sat down to blog just to get this adorable brother and sister pair up on my blog for you all to get a glimpse of them wearing vintage lucys! The amazing little bulldog dress and chopper tee can be purchased at vintagelucys.com

I have so many more pictures of customers to post I just really need to find the time to get all of the gorgeous pics up on my blog.....I reallly do enjoy the pictures this is as ive said one hundred times before the best part of my business!

New additiions!

New additions to my family that is :) I was so sad after the loss of my two cats a few mos ago and I really felt a void with out them. I guess you can call me a cat lady lol as I made the decision to get my daughter bailey a free kitty shes a mix but she looks like the most beautiful siamese and she has the sweetest personality ever. Bailey named this little one may and she has brought such smiles to our house!

The second addition is a cat I named Zukko..well actually bailey named him but I liked it as it reminded me of grease but I guess its an avatar as bailey informed me lol. Zukko is a beautiful savannah cat and he is a little larger than you average cat as he is mixed with a wild african serval! This cat is the most amazing and loveable animal I have ever met...He even plays fetch with a ball and is walking on the leash {very fast learner}. Ok I dont want to bore you to death but just wanted to share my new kitties!

It is a gorgeous coco color with beautiful lace accents and a bold pink rose flower that is removable for laundering. This tank will go with any piece in this collection and is available here for adults and children and it can be ordered in long sleeves for the winter mos ahead.

Fabulous hoodies

I have just introduced hoodies into my line and have put one in the new fall winter collection called {koi} and I must say it is a head turner! I used an american apparel hoodie and accented it with some beautiful lace and a bold aqua rose {for that vintage touch} and I lined the hood in a retro designer fabric. I have lots more coming soon ..you can get this for children and adults here.

Lacey bloom dress

Minuit bloom fall/winter collection has arrived and is online to purchase today! This a fabulous piece out of the collection, I just love the romantic colors that make up the flowers in this one and the big shabby aqua rose breaks up the color a bit. You can purchase this dress by clicking here.

Sneak peak of yumminess as the {photographer} said!

Minuit bloom {fall/winter collection} coming September 1st 2010. I named this collecton Minuit bloom ={ Midnight bloom in french} because I used french inspired graphics for my tshirts and started adding romantic laces and trims to them along with bold floral fabrics with colors that are perfect for the fall. All of the pieces in the collecton can pretty much be mixed and matched with each piece. This is a small collection but I think you may enjoy it. I am also so excited to have Amy Childers shooting the collection!

Goodbye to my most precious babies.

It is a sad month around here after the loss of our two cats Roo {15 year old cat} and Tye our 6 year old bengal cat. We moved back to vegas the beginning of July to a different area that we where not to familiar with and sadly there are coyotes here but the city does not bother to post any signs around letting people know or new residents to the area.
My cat tye went missing after 2 weeks of being here and I was hoping he was just lost or turned around and me and the kids put up signs all over the area and offered a reward on craigslist and have been to the humane society on many occasions looking for him.
Well a few weeks later roo went out for his nightly sitting on the porch routine after the day cooled down that is what he loved to do and sadly I was exhausted and went to bed and did not realize he didnt come back in. This normally would not be big deal unless I knew the surroundings where so dangerous. When I realized the next morning he was gone I knew it was not good....This cat lived and breathed with me he was my baby he would be with me all day long and wake me up with a headbut and big purr for the last 15 years.
I was informed by many people on craigslist and the neighborhood that they see the coyotes come out at dusk and wander the park where my kids play WHAT are you kidding and no signs posted anywhere to warn parents of coyotes...this is crazy the city of henderson!!! Well this is a rambling post so I will stop now just wanted to post pics and say goodbye to my beautiful pets that will be dearly missed and I will never forget the way that they had to leave the earth :(

New house :)

As some of you may know I moved back to las vegas this month and let me tell you it wasnt easy this time lol. We drove over 18 hours with 5 kids and a couple pets. The drive was beautiful we took the route where we went through donners pass which I must say in a moving truck it was quiet bumpy and kind of scary! When we arrived it was probably about 102 degrees outside which was perfect as it is a dry heat and feels more like high 80s.

I just wanted to share pics of my kids playing in the pool last weekend as I did get to spend the day off work and enjoy the pool with them. I cant believe how fast they grow My oldest son is going to be driving very soon Eeek that is going to be fun right {lol}. Anyways I love my new house and im just getting settled...new furniture arrived yesterday {lots of my antique furniture did not survive the move this time}. Hope you all are having a great summer with your family.

Blue skies are waiting

Well I am leaving Portland Oregon after relocating here 9 mos ago. Oregon is a {beautiful place} and there is a reason for it being so green and its a thing called rain and lots of gray skies! I didnt think it would bother me but being raised in a Southern California beach community and then later moving to sunny Las Vegas it has...I so crave the sun and so does my family so we are hitting the road in the wee hours of Tuesday morning to go back to good ol Las vegas and I have a house with a nice pool waiting for me ;) I Loved loved loved opening up Vintage lucys boutique on alberta street and had such fun I mean I didnt even get the ball rolling on it before I decided I was going to high tail it back to vegas...Which is totally ok with me as I can make that happen where ever I go and I have something much better in mind but its a secret! So with that said wish me luck on an 18 hour drive with 5 kids and yes a few furry friends are coming along too lol.
