Dresses for Riley

My aunt Jan, who's too young to be my aunt, is also a lovely grandma to a sweet little girl called Riley! Great name right? Well Riley is 6 and going to school and her wonderful grandma Jan made her dresses out of my fabrics! They are gorgeous and thought I'd share them with you.
Happy Birthday Riley!

Which one to choose?

I am in Atlanta this weekend at the Gift show! Cid Pear is in the CR Gibson showroom, and my holiday ornaments are in the Dept56 {Enesco} showroom. So I'll be visiting and oohing at the displays. Unfortunately due to time constraints I can't be in the temporaries with my clothing and jewelry collection, but we are hosting an intimate wine party on Friday evening in Atlanta at a gorgeous BandB downtown. Just 6 minutes from the mart! If you are around then email Aimee at info@tinagivens.com and we'll give you all the details. The new SS13-1 collection and of course the Resort voile collection~. We are showing voile and linen pieces that can ship immediately or book them for later ship dates. Jewelry is always available. See some of the pics above we just took in Florida. Are they not gorgeous?! That pink geode is my favorite piece right now! Hanging off a beautiful vintage chain we found on our travels.

So come join us, and in the meantime, I'll see some of you in the showrooms with my other favorite products!!!

New linen collection is here

Love this dress. The BLOSSOM dress is adorable! I love this dress. It has my signature bell shape and wide oval neckline but one one side is an opening as shown. Now guess which is the front, and which is the back? WRONG!

It's neither. You can wear the opening at the back or the front! Shown with the LUCILLE slip dress. (Available in pink, celadon green or tangerine). Spring 2013. Watch for more of the line sneek peaks!


Necklaces: Vintage baroque pearl & pink jade rosary.

Tumblr

Well my dears. As you may or may not know, I fell in love with the whole PINTEREST thing. It is simply glorious for me to find imagery and see what others pin and pin away! At first I thought it was a waste of time but with my ongoing schedule of rethinking my illustration, fabrics, apparel and more I find the need to relook at this saved imagery and find inspiration. When I am noy traveling to fun places I journey into my online resources for inspiration!
Well my ravels have now led me to tumblr... which I always stayed away from because I felt the whole blogging thing was enough. But oh my! I now have a tumblr blog called THE MELPOMENE PROJECT... And it's so fun. Right now I have been so random but take a look and let me know if you like it. HERE'S THE LINK!
