Thank you so much for your business and support in 2011.
As looking forward to 2012, About Glamour hopes there are even brighter days ahead for all of you, and keeps offering you special & unique items based on its sensitivity to the market worldwide for fashion and art.

"Year End Cleaning" is one of Japanese traditions for December, before new year comes. Along with its habit, people get to thank the year end and will become ready for new year with all their clean and neat stuff.
I love the tradition but tend to be so fascinated with all my old documents remembering good old days...

It is time to move forward in 2012, happy new year!
