New at Vickie's 6.4.2013 - How to Purchase Featured Items
Every week we bring you new styles and fashions available in the alley through our Weekly Fashion Finds and Facebook posts. We've received a lot of questions from our followers asking how or where they can purchase the items we post and if we (the mangers of the Santee Alley social media pages and blog) are vendors. We must first clarify we ourselves are not vendors, we simply represent the Santee Alley area. However because we do represent all Santee Alley vendors, we try to always include the name and location of stores where featured items can be purchased. In our blog posts, you will find the contact information in the first couple paragraphs of the post. If you have any questions please leave us a comment. You can tweet us too!
