I've known Kayleen since, well, I can't remember. Possibly birth? We grew up in the same square mile in west Mesa, went to the same elementary, junior high and high school. We grew up together, playing Mesa Girls Softball and then soccer at Westwood, though I will say that Kayleen was always a much better player than I. I was a scrawn who was glad that Kayleen was on my team, cause she was fiesty, and good, and I wouldn't want to be her opposition.
Then Kayleen and I grew. We didn't really see much of each other after high school, until, we discovered each other again in blog land. I was surprised to learn that Kayleen sewed. She was good, really good, and her blog was witty and artistic. A few of her poetic words could say what it took me an essay to write. Kayleen sold her handmade clothes, but over the last few months, Kayleen has taken her style, her knowledge of fashion, and started a new adventure: Flour.
She sells vintage clothes, even kids' vintage clothes. But Kayleen isn't the type to just take something old and slap the name vintage on it. Her clothes have beauty. They exude style. Just check out some of the selection Kayleen has available at Flour. You'll be plesently surprised. I am shocked at some of the pieces she has found- perfect mint condition beauties.
So, if you want to continue to support locals, and you want a little more one of a kind style added to your wardrobe, then check out Flour.
{This is what I would buy. Simple, not too flashy, me.}

Even though I would love the 60's swing skirt. I just dont think it will fit me. I would say I would want to try and get the 50s Organza Sweetheart bow tie printed Party DRESS. I love vintage clothing. I am sure who ever wins would be happy.
Please tell me Kayleen needs a photographer to take awesome photos of people wearing her clothes! Please.
LOVE this giveaway. I added the button to my blog, though it is blank...not sure why that is. If you know how to fix it, let me know and I will! It is right under the Crafty Cupboard button.
I posted about this giveaway on my blog. Sorry, I didn't provide a link on my other comment. It is at http://thekatiedid.blogspot.com
If I won the giftcard I would get the 50s M Organza Sweetheart bow tie printed Party DRESS. Beautiful!
i am in love with the black linen big city day dress, holy cow, i want.
Such beautiful stuff! LOVE the lace evening wiggle dress. And just about everything else.
I love the one you feature with the white buttons, but since it is made out of silk I might have to opt for the black lace number (the one with sleeves). These were stunningly beautiful pieces. I am really hoping I win!!
so hard to decide...this is my dream givaway! i think id go with the 60s S/M High Waist floral wrap SKIRT, please.
I added the flour link under my LOVES on my Pursenickety blog!!!
I also blogged about the giveaway with lincs to both i heart mesa & Flour on Pursenickety. here is the link www.pursenickety.blogspot.com
I just tagged Flour as a favorite Etsy shop. I loved the sheer Green Apple Voile Dress or the 40's Navy Checkered Dress.
If I were to win the gift card, I would so go for the 40s M navy SILK Tailored proper evening DRESS - ABE SCHRADER....from the first moment I saw it, I fell in love. There is also a vintage brown pinstripe shirt I adore as well.
I left a link to FLOUR on my blog!!
