Sometimes in Life you find Beautiful things to make you smile and realize the world is not the enormous........ And that Creative People are sometimes...... amazing lovely people that lift you and inspire you...One such experience happened to me....

My Letter below and then response from a lovely Designer        Check out her work on http://www.lenadress.com/

Hi Leanora,

I'm so happy you love that skirt! My gosh, that fabric brings back such memories! It is one of my all time favorite ones! That skirt is likely...I'd say 12 year old. It has been a long time since I had that beautiful fabric to work with...

Thank you for all your kind words...and right back at you...your work is so lovely and unique. How fun it must be to hunt for those treasures in Europe and bring them home to give them a new life! I love the vision you have, you too keep up the good work putting beautiful things out in the world to share!

Thank you again, and I hope you will wear your skirt in health and happiness!

Best,

Lena

Hi Lena,
I wanted to write to tell you and tell you how thrilled I am to own one of your creations.
I don't know how but one of your beautiful skirts ended up in Housing Works NYC. I love to shop there because I can purchase quality clothing at a very affordable price and I also know that my dollars are supporting a great need. Aids and Homeless...
I also wanted to read a bit about the designer who's lovely garment I purchased. And so I found your website and watched your video.  I was so taken by your journey and now I love my treasure even more.
Fair Trade is very important to me also...And so I will wear your design with pride....
I too am a artist with a thrust to bring beauty into the world...my shop is thru ETSY https://www.etsy.com/shop/FleurdeleeJewelry
I am Fleur de Lee (Vintage made New -Jewelry)....I purchase old treasures in Europe and thru a mold make an exact replica. My vision is to bring a more romantic time to lovely ladies of the present
Thank you for your time Lena...I wish you many blessings as you create and bring beauty to a much needed world.

All my best,
Leanora Ortiz
