Carolyn Fineran's Cherry Creek
North boutique Tapestry went by the wayside a few years ago, but
the charmingly eclectic spirit of the place hasn't faded: It's simply
been reincarnated and given new life as Gypsies Collection. And so,
Fineran is back, passing on her love of handcrafted, ethnic- inspired
textiles and jewelry to grateful and adventurous customers left bereft
by Tapestry's closing.
This time, Fineran's doing it like a gypsy,
throwing occasional trunk shows that feature the wares of fellow
travelers she's connected with during her many years as a retailer.
From silk jackets appliquéd with vintage Chinese embroidery
to stylish amulet-studded jewelry drenched in symbols as old as
the world, the contents of her trunks run deep -- and definitely
gorgeous.
And you never know where Fineran will pop up next:
Check her Web
site for future dates, then saddle up your camel and go.
