Everyone else has a year-end wrap up, so why not denisebrain?
These are some of my favorite items sold this year...not all, but I'm sure you'll agree there are plenty! I love pink, interesting prints, black and white, frothy party gowns, suits, velvet; here are some of the best in my favorite categories of the past year. I hope the new owners are wearing them in good health and supreme happiness!
There is always more where these came from, so do not despair if you missed out on something you love.
