Christmas soon

We are all well into the run up to Christmas I guess - if you haven't yet found something for a loved one there's always the accessories section where you might find a suitable gift at a reasonable price.  But if you are still after something special for yourself over the festive period what about this beautiful 1950s sea green cocktail dress.  Bound to make you feel special.

We hope you have not been too put out by the bad weather - it has been hard in places although not too bad here in Wiltshire.  It does make for a nice seasonal feel and lets face it we all hope it snows on Christmas day don't we?  We have a busy week or so ahead of us here at Martha's Closet but then we shall have a break for Christmas and then start thinking about those New Year sales!

Have fun

Graham and Ann

Postage and things

Here at Martha's Closet we try very hard to keep costs down for you and us.  Where we can post an item out as a packet (sometimes a small t-shirt for example) we do and we refund you postage.  Where we note you have 2 orders to go out we combine them for you and refund any postage.  We know you appreciate this because you tell us - thank you.  If you really just want that special delivery asap just drop us a line and we'll send it out immediately - no need to spend £7.50 on special delivery if it not really necessary.

Ann's been shopping this month and we are busy putting on new stock - I guess party time is coming around again soon so keep on looking at just in - you never know...

We have had a good response to putting sizes on to the main description - saves you time and avoids disappointment!

What about some handbags for you or for Christmas pressies?  Take a look at this selection below:

Autumn

Gosh how time passes. Here we are into Autumn already and just a few weeks until the evenings get dark and we baton down the hatches for Winter.  But do not despair - its a beautiful time of year and vintage winter wear can be just as stunning as any time.  Take at look at this coat just put on today
60s Nabre Wool Coat
Lots more stock arriving over the next week or so for you so do take a look when you can.

Finally we are putting a facebook page together.  No reason other than to get some more feedback on what works and what doesn't.  Will keep you updated.

Of course there's still a lot of interest in ball gowns at this time of the year - I love this one:
80s Pure Silk Embellished Evening Gown

LOOK magazine has us pegged as one of 'The hottest online retail stops'...

Hot off the press - our vintage clothes made LOOK's DPS feature on Fashion Websites To Bookmark!

Showing our fabulous 50's cotton print day dress, 60's paisley print and 70's green leather skirt, we certainly stood out as colourful.

"....Martha's Closet is the website for second - hand style.." look.

Well we knew that - and so do all of our customers.

Anyone for tennis?

Hi All
been busy lately sorting summer stock and trying to spread the word about Martha's Closet.  Couple of decent shopping trips by Ann so plenty to do - but whether or not you follow football or tennis you can't help but get distracted - although tennis on the tennis on the radio I still struggle with.  Got Ann a retro DAB radio for her birthday recently.  Looks great, sounds great - wish we were selling them!

Have fun, so long for now

Graham
