No More Backorders

New Policy, effective May 10, 2011

No Backorders.

We will ship only the items we have in stock for an order and not backorder the rest.
With cotton prices increasing and the fabric manufacturers changing their policies, it is getting harder for us to be able to gage exactly when an item can be sewn and restocked. Therefore, it is necessary for us to keep track of our orders by concentrating on our in-stock items. This does not mean that we will not be restocking these items, it just means that we have less control over backordered items than we have had in the past. Customers may reorder the items that are not in stock at another time.

Time Well Spent = High Quality & Beauty- Tina Style!

Growing up, I was captivated at my Grandma’s side as I watched her busy fingers sew beautiful fabrics together.  Her feet tapping on the antique sewing machine treadle, she spent her precious hours pouring her heart into beautiful creations.
In addition, my Granny Virgie inspired me to design memorable, hand sewn treasures.  My mind is always whirling with
new possibilities...  and I am delighted to share this special line of exquisite pieces, designed and masterfully made and featuring the touch of hand applied Venice lace.  I thoroughly enjoy designing garments with fine details and find
great fulfillment in the traditions taught by those who have gone before me.
It is with great pleasure that I share this Couture Collection which features hand applied Venice lace produced through my own stitching techniques. I also am happy to share my Tina's Gallery styles with you that are available for purchase too.

Lead times will vary due to the quality and nature of this technique. The Venice Lace is hand applied upon receipt of your order. Please plan your orders accordingly.

The positive response to my first Couture and Tina's Gallery prototypes has been so exciting!
I trust you are equally impressed as well with this stunningly beautiful line.

 ...And to Mama, who is watching me from heaven, “Thanks again for being my cheerleader!”

Resurrection Life

 Such vibrant declarations of truth and beauty are quietly standing about our garden, humbly declaring in pure peaceful love, the resurrection life song of our Creator.

Out of the cold and barrenness and death of winter springs jubilant hope new life again. Nature is telling us a message over and over again. It speaks of death and then life... death and then life... The beauty springs forth, makes it's triumphant debut, drops it's fading beauty into the dust, dies,... and then springs
 forth again!

As nature displays, so does love.

Love is birthed out of the pain and suffering and death.
It sacrifices to help others flourish.
And, it always triumphs. Always returns.

Love Never Fails!
Jesus lived among us humbly, gave His life in love for our freedom. He died, but death could not keep Him there! He rose from the dead, like the springtime from winter. Declaring "Love Never Fails! Love Conquers All!"

The cycle of life goes on around us, loved ones are born, and in time they pass away.. and new ones are born... Always declaring there is new life after death!

The message of truth from our friends and the flowers:
Resurrection hope to all who humbly surrender their lives to the One who holds the universe in the palm of His hand as He lovingly leads those He loves.

Happy Easter & Passover
-Gretchen
