maiden, are you cold?

Now I thought I would share one of my very favorite fairy tales with you... I've copied it word-for-word from The Yellow Fairy Book, edited by Andrew Lang, and this particular story is derived from Germanic folklore (I personally think that German and Russian fairy tales are the absolute best... probably because they're the darkest.)

I find myself musing over what might happen should the East and West coasts e'er meet...

Today you should make some paper snowflakes, be sure to drink some cocoa, and slip into the satin-lined-world of a beautiful coat... whether you live in the chill or in the (comparatively) warm.

in which the shop is updated.

These treasures will all be added to the shop by later on tonight, so keep an eye on our Twitter and our Facebook page for updates! Or, if you simply cannot wait, contact us through comments or by e-mail at rococovintage@gmail.com

We had a wonderlovely impromtu shopping excursion just the other day... coffee, croissant, pitter patter pitter patter, bookstore pop-in, pitter patter, oh look it's our favorite thrift shoppe, let's stop in for just a mo' to say hello, pitter patter... and came away from it with three of the most amazing coats, and THE most amazing cape. This week was poor luck for photo shoots, the first one being canceled due to a light malfunction, and the second to our model being sick. We will be staging a nuclear explosion of a shoot on Tuesday... however, we couldn't wait to share these recent finds with you, so we thought we would post a few preview photos. It's impossible to perceive their real specialness just on hangers (and under the glare of a flash... sorry about that!) and we're absolutely DYING to get them photographed on one of our girls. And hopefully nothing else will go wrong because... if we don't get these beauties posted - and fast! - we're not sure we'll be able to let them go!
