A Little About Us

We are collectors of fun things to wear ... some of which can be considered vintage; most of which have been previously loved.

It is in the nature of previously-owned items of clothing to show some "wear and tear." We do restore items when needed and sometimes redesign choice pieces giving them a new lease on life.

Jewelry typically gets a much needed cleaning and a new rhinestone or two. Clothing gets a "nip-and-tuck" here and a "stich-in-time" there when needed, although most of our attire is in impeccable condition when we buy it.

Sales

Items in our store are mostly one-of-a-find. In other words, we don't carry multiples or variety of sizes or colors.

Everything is sold on a "first-come" basis. If you see an item that has sold before we can update the site, we will be glad to take your name and contact information should the transaction not go through for any reason, or should we happen to stumble across a similar piece.

By the way, we'll be glad to do a little sleuthing for you. If there's something in particular you've been looking for, just let us know. We also do customized remodeling. Need an idea for an outdated outfit? Send us a picture and we'll let you know what we'd charge to glitz it up bit!

NOTE: In all correspondence to us, please put something in the Subject line about Glitz and Glam so we may immediately identify you as a customer, not a spammer. Although we do look at everything, we'd like to give our customers the better part of our time.

Sizes
In many cases, it is hard to determin the exact sizes of our finds. Write us and we will be glad to provide dimmensions on any item you may be interested in.

Shipping and Handling
We use only the finest non-acid tissue to wrap our items in for shipping to preserve older or more delicate fabrics. Shipping varies on size and weight of the item. Some pieces, although lightweight, may be bulky to send and therefore cost a bit more to ship than an item the same weight. Please contact us if you live outside the U.S./Canada to see if we can ship to you and what the rates will be.

Payments

We take money orders, personal checks, PayPal, and charge cards through PayPal. For payments with check or money order, please email us your order and we will send you an invoice. Sorry, but we must charge tax on items sold to buyers in Illinois.

Coupons and Discounts
Also, from time to time we advertise discounts and specials. Unless otherwise stated, each offer applies to one shopping session per customer. Please email us your order if using a discount instead of using the Shopping Cart. We will invoice you to reflect your discount. You can then use PayPal through their Send Money option, if you like.

Mailing List
If you'd like to be kept up to date on specials and discounts, as well as new additions to our site, please write us with your email address and the subject "Keep Me Updated," and we will be glad to keep you on our list. Our list is not for sale, and your information is kept private.

Community Involvement
We will donate 10% of all profits from this site to the Battered Women and Children's Fund of our community.

This site is still in the works and will be an online catalogue of our offerings. In the meantime, feel free to write us about any of the items described in these pages.
