Thank you for receiving this newsletter. A big hello and welcome to all those receiving it, seasoned and new.

You may have already heard, but let me confide in you the big news. After many exciting years providing clothing and costumes to belly dancers across the globe, I have decided to close my business in its current form. I am sad yet thrilled, as this decision means I will be able to devote my time to pursuits that were put on hold when I started my business, including finishing college degrees and practicing Raks Sharki. Please wish me luck as I enter a new phase of my career.

This isn't goodbye for good, though! Although website shopping is now unavailable, I encourage you to visit my eBay listings, chock full of great deals while supplies last. Never seen before, one of a kind pants and belts will be auctioned off periodically. Please add me to your favorite sellers list and please spread the word!

For Portland area dancers, Tendril pants and silk veils will also be available for purchase at Euphoria Studios for the Fall/Winter season.

I want to say thanks to all of my customers and supporters, past and present. I am forever grateful for your patronage.

I certainly couldn't have succeeded without the help, love and support of the following people. Thanks and a great big hug to:
