Winter Is Here!

Well, maybe that was a bit overly dramatic but even in “sunny” Southern California, we’ve felt winter’s bite and have actually broken out our coats… 🙂 So to commemorate the onset of winter, here’s something that we felt would be fitting:

It would appear that these two ladies have captured the silhouette very nicely. 🙂

Changing It Up….

We’re changing it up this year, usually we’d be on Highway 10 on our way to our Old West No. 11…but this year, we’re spending it here working and celebrating the holiday with Adam’s Mother. There’s a busy new year to prepare for, and it doesn’t hurt to start now.

This is the time of year where we like to pause a bit and reflect on the events of the past year. For us, 2016 has been an exceptionally good year and we’ve gone from strength to strength as we’ve created designs for our various clients and in helped them achieve their dreams. In the coming year, we hope to continue this trend and we look forward to serving you. 🙂

Winding Down 2016…

Adam_Class1

Well, 2016 is winding down and I can finally take a small break. 2016 has been a very busy year for Karin and I here at Lily Absinthe. Between traveling to No. 11 in Tombstone, conventions, and designing and creating our line of bridal fashions, it’s been a full plate and for 2017 it looks like more of the same. For me personally, it’s been a year of personal growth as I have worked to expand my technical knowledge of design and fashion history. While the road has been bumpy at times and required a major investment of time and energy, the rewards have been personally satisfying and has given me a sense of personal accomplishment.

Making some final adjustments…

For 2017, I plan on moving further and exploring the various facets of 19th and early 20th Century fashion and while there will, no doubt, be many challenges, I look forward to them because in the end, it can only have a positive outcome. 🙂

Fashion doesn’t always happen in the Atelier…

Merry Christmas Week Is On!

Merry Christmas to our friends and clients who celebrate, and today begins the final rush for Sunday. We’re staying close to home, making a few things, wrapping up orders (sneaking in a few old holiday movies), and coming up with some new designs to be finished in January…that’s our idea of fun! Merry Christmas Week from us both at Lily Absinthe! <3
