We are proud to announce the arrival of a new line of Flower Girl dresses in the most popular colors - Blossom dresses.

These dresses are REALLY classically styled, VERY affordably priced and available quickly!

Oh, and the COLORS are the HOTTEST in the industry right now!

A couple of styles have already arrived.  More are scheduled to come.

And yes — these dresses ARE made in the USA!

We haven’t been blogging much lately.  Why?

Because we’re going a bit crazy around here!

Yes, it’s true - Spring Fever HAS set in.  But beyond that . . . we’re working VERY hard behind the scenes to serve you even better.

There is oh, so much on the drawing board that it can make your head spin!

One - you’ve probably already notice - is Live Chat.  This is INSTANT access to Customer Service during business hours 8:30-5 EST Mon-Fri.  This means that you can use Contact / Customer Care link at the top of any page any time any day or night of the year . . . . or Live Chat during biz hours.  And, of course, our Order Center is ready to take your orders by phone (not provide customer service, as has always been the case) during business hours too.

We’re working to hire and train even more Customer Service reps to help you even more. We hope to be expanding hours soon.

What’s more?  New items, for sure!  Watch for an announcement shortly!

A new look on our main website?

Yes - we thought it’s time to freshen up the look and improve on some things!

We’re not done yet . . . but we’d love to hear your reactions!

We get asked a lot - where does it ship from?

Our main location is in Michigan - USA.

Directly shipped items come from a lot of different places, of course. 

But usually this involves the REAL question “how soon will it arrive?” and “do I need expedited shipping?”

If a day or two or three will make the difference between having it in time or not it is always better to pick expedited shipping.

Better to get it earlier than after you need it!

We receive all sorts of questions along this line.

What we think that most are asking is “can I put it on right out of the box and wear it?”

Let’s talk about that for a moment.

Every garment arrives complete - absolutely.  But it has also been packed in a box and shipped across country - in fact, often across the world since we delivery almost everywhere. 

It’s entirely reasonable to expect that the garment(s) you receive will need to be steamed out or touched up.  There is absolutely NO way to guarantee delivery of a garment that doesn’t.

If you go to a bridal salon, you almost always pay considerably more.  Why?  Partly because they spend a lot of time steaming out your garment before you come to pick it up. Then you carry it ever so gently to avoid causing wrinkles.

Shopping on line and having things delivered is a bit different, of course.  The garment does have to be folded.  And then it ships - in conditions entirely out of everybody’s control.  It could be hot and steamy outside, for instance.

Your garments leave here after having been fully inspected.  They are gently and lovingly folded appropriately, placed into a box and sent to you with utmost care.

But yes, it is entirely possible that you will need to touch it up.  That’s normal for anything shipped and delivered.

I just [personally] received a garment from another company.  It was folded over a cardboard frame as if it has been steamed and pressed heavily onto it, then shrink wrapped and put into a cut-and-seal plastic bag for shipping.  I had to launder and iron it to get those folds out.

Our garments aren’t shipped in cut-and-seal bags, nor are they pressed onto cardboard (items from us, we’re saying - directly shipped items are all done differently but they are still handled well).  Our garments are hung out, fluffed out and gently folded into an appropriately sized HIGH grade box for shipment and delivery to you.

Here’s the question:  Can you honestly think of a better Mother’s Day gift than a magnificently painted portrait on canvas of her kids or grandkids?  This is a gift that’s so touching, and so personal, that it is without equal.

All you need to start such a painting is a great snapshot of the child, or children and the artist will turn it into a masterpiece that would make Rembrandt proud. 

And at a price that’s downright affordable, too. 

And they’re offering a special bonus to make it even sweeter.

So can they really create such a masterpiece between now and May 11th?  That does seem like stretch, doesn’t it?  Actually, they probably can’t  (it normally takes 4 to 6 weeks to paint a portrait of this quality).

But what they CAN do is to compose it against an appropriate background and send you a .jpg image that you can print and present to her.  That way, she can not only see what she’s going to receive, but actually participate in the process.

See — creating portraits is a very collaborative process.  At each stage of development, they’ll send you (or her) an image by email.  That includes close-ups, when appropriate.  You can provide input as to what looks just right or what needs to be changed.  You call tell them “the eyes need to be bluer” - or - ”Can you fix that flyaway hair on the right side?” 

Of course!

That’s the beauty of painting as opposed to photography.  They can  paint anything you want - including placing them into any scene you can imagine.  Paint them on the beach, in a beautiful garden, or just a nice shaded background.  It’s all your choice.  Oops!  I
mean her choice.  Remember, she’ll get to participate in the process.

You’ll never have to worry about getting something neither you nor she will want.  By the time it’s complete, you’ll know exactly what you’re going to get.  That’s one of the reasons that this offer comes with absolutely THE most outstanding guarantee in the business.  It’s totally risk-free.

So what are you waiting for?  You can spend hours and hours shopping for that typical ho-hum gift that will be forgotten by the time next Mother’s Day rolls around . . . .

. . . . Or you can surprise her with a gift that will bring genuine tears of joy to her eyes.  A gift that will be cherished for a lifetime, then passed on to her children and her children’s children for generations to come.

Now how can you possibly top THAT for the perfect Mother’s Day gift?

Oh, and what about that special bonus? 

They’ll frame that portrait for 50% of the regular price.  What a deal!  And their frames  are magnificent, wide, luxury frames that could hang in the most prestigious mansion and
fit right in.  They can cost hundreds of dollars all by themselves.

At half price, they make you look even better in Mom’s eyes.

Again, act right now.  This offer on the frame will end on May 11—

P.S. - Are you a Mom?  If you’re reading this and would like a portrait for yourself, you have two options: 1) Print this and put it in front of the guy whose attention you need to get; or, 2) Treat yourself to your own Mother’s Day present.
