*** IMPORTANT NOTE ***
Some of our collection is late in arriving. So, these items will be dropping at a later date yet to be determined. The items in our later shipment will be indicated by an asterisk in the “style” section of the newsletter.

 

Blue Danube:

Photo collage of Blue Danube, a bright, vibrant blue dress with little pink flowers. This dress comes in a maxi and a midi style.

The Blue Danube, particularly the waltz by Johann Strauss II, has a rich presence in literature, both directly through its use as a title and indirectly as a cultural reference point. It has been used to evoke the beauty and spirit of the Danube River and the region it flows through.
Whether you’re being whisked away for a romantic evening on the water, family picnic by the shoreline, or book-reading by the pool, Blue Danube is sure to evoke feelings of joy, happiness, and a sense of elegance and sophistication.

In “Little Women,” flowers are frequently used as a symbol of beauty, femininity, and natural grace. The March sisters cultivate their own gardens, with each girl’s floral choices reflecting their individual personalities and preferences. Amy’s garden choices, such as morning glories and honeysuckle, reflect her romantic nature and her unrequited affections for Laurie.
