YAY HOME!

and I found a place that I HAVE GOT TO SHARE!!!


Rhinestone Rosie. It is at the top of Queen Anne hill on Crockett, just off of 6th.

wall to wall sparklies.

and they do repair of broken sparklies, or antique sparklies missing stones.

It is owned and operated by a woman (presumably Rosie) and her daughter.

They have been there for about 23 years.

you can bring in 10pieces from your own collection for an estimate.

seriously, if you like sparklies (or know someone who does) GO THERE!! Best place ever for rhinestones.

they don't advertise at all. And they are the nicest ladies ever!!! Go check it out!! THEY RULE!!!

phone there is 206-283-4605 and you can email them at rhinestonerosie@yahoo.com

Way back in the dark ages when Evaria was about 4 or 5, I was in charge of the Sears Sewing School, back before they discontinued it. One of my students was a lovely 70 year old lady named Jane, who had been a professional dancer back in the late 1920's and early 1930's. She ended up giving me a lot of her costumes and tons of rhinestone jewelry she'd worn on stage, and she used to take all her stuff to Rosie's for repair and cleaning. One of the many things that Jane taught me about that I'm ever so grateful for.

yeah, I am thrilled to have been turned onto them.

As it turns out, there was an article about them in Elle magazine recently.
