If the Crown Fits... Wear It!

Every girl, no matter her age, is a princess or a queen, or maybe a Diva, in her heart. And at Faded Elegance, we believe that every royal gal deserves a Crown or a tiara!

From sparkly jewelry and hair accessories...

to darling entertaining accoutrements...

to a glamorous selection of home accents...

You are certain to find just the right crown for any girl on your gift list while browsing through our store. You'll be amazed at how many crown-theme items we have!

Do come by for a Royal visit, Your Highnesses, and see what 'Every Girl's Dream Store' has just for you! (That's what we hear from customers.... you're saying that we are a dream of a shopping experience, a one of a kind store with beautiful antique, vintage, & new items for your home, garden, and gifts. Thank you!)

It's All Here - in Black & White!

Fresh and new for a new year, the look of black & white is the trend to incorporate into your home this season! The great thing about this color combination is that it is truly neutral, and will coordinate with any and all accent colors throughout the coming year. A great investment!

From small accessories like hip rhinestone-studded candles by Pure Sanctuary to accents such as alabaster lamps and upholstered chairs, we've brought in a stylish selection to spiff up the store and inspire you to add it to your environment.

Maybe a new painted table, dresser, or buffet is exactly what your home or office need to start the year off with a fresh attitude! You'll find amazing antiques & vintage finds in our one-of-a-kind boutique in Snohomish. Visit us and be inspired!

A few posts back, we featured the beautiful product line from Kimberly Austin of Austin Press. We have new additions to her line in the store, plus some elegant silver letter openers that compliment them.

Well, the word is out - in the January/February 2009 issue of Victoria magazine, there is a feature story on Austin Press! Look to pages 86 through 91 for photos of Kimberly's wonderful illustrations, and more on her amazing history. (You can purchase new issues of Victoria at Faded Elegance, too!)

Along with these new products in the boutique area, our 12 antique dealers are bringing in a fanciful selection of vintage Valentine's treasures that will make you swoon... and they are calorie free!
