I hope that you're having a super fun holiday season. Ours is going great, complete with one of the loveliest Christmas Days I've had in a while.<br /><br />Luxulite's brooches are the bee's knees. They're quite a big investment for me, too, especially with the exchange rate, shipping and import costs, but they're spectacular and worth every penny, so I'm happy to invest, so to speak, when I can. <br /><br />Tons of hugs & joyful New Year's countdown wishes,<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-9176044221880733952015-12-25T04:43:55.848-08:002015-12-25T04:43:55.848-08:00This is such a fabulous festive outfit; I love eve...This is such a fabulous festive outfit; I love everything about it. It really suits you and you look exactly as if you have stepped off a 1950's Christmas card. I love Luxulite brooches, I have treated myself to several this year, including the snowy winter wonderland one. If funds had allowed I would have got this holly one too. Congratulations on your Etsy sales, that is a major achievement and very well deserved. I hope Annie is much better now.

Luxulite makes such strikingly charming, thoroughly vintage appropriate pieces.

Why, oh why, hasn't teleportation become a real thing outside of the sci-fi world yet? <br /><br />Luxulite really is the best!!! Their offerings are big, beautiful and very well made. They're quite the investment for me, especially with the Canadian dollar being in such crumby shape for ages now, but well worth it periodically, as their offerings really can breath such new life into any wardrobe and look the vintage part so marvelously.<br /><br />Way to go on having a lot of sales earlier this season, too. *High five* That was a bumper time for me as well and I was pleasantly surprised by how many items I sold this mid-November to mid-December. I hope that things continue to go wonderfully for you with your shop in 2016.<br /><br />Huge hugs & the very merriest of Christmas wishes!<br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-68304967164026184392015-12-19T16:25:15.925-08:002015-12-19T16:25:15.925-08:00Oh I love this!
