End of an Era

So today I found out my very very favorite online shop is closing. It's called One Hundred Wishes and it's my idea of heaven. One Hundred Wishes helped me find my style, a vintage shabby pink glittery beautiful mess. I've only placed two orders at the shop, but everything I got from there, I treasure. Some of my favorites include fringe tissue garlands, the One Hundred Wishes prize ribbons, lots of millinery flowers, some great vintage paper lace that I use on almost everything, a pink cameo, and ribbon galore. And of course everything comes packaged beautifully in little decorative cellophane bags, with a personal thank you note from the owner of the shop. This is how much of a nerd I am: I still have the box my first order came in, because it has her lovely handwriting on it, and I feel like it's a piece of the One Hundred Wishes life. So, to memorialize the closing of the shop, I placed one last order today, but it was fairly small, because so much was sold through already. While there are other shops like it that I visit, none of them have the same style or grace of One Hundred Wishes.
