Black Friday

Happy Thanksgiving! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday and got to spend time with the people you love.

We opened early this morning and enjoyed the light dusting of snow. It was all very festive.

Sweet

It's beginning to look a lot like... alright it's supposed to snow this week and it's putting us in the holiday spirit. We 're going with a "sweet" theme this year. We used button candy as garland, framed pictures of little cakes, and giant of jars of gumdrops are scattered around the store and are filling in the windows.

We have a lot of great holiday gift ideas- how about a cute super soft sweater from Free People? The one pictured at the left is $128 and is versatile enough to be worn into the spring.

French Connection Party Day

Today was the first day of our French Connection trunk show and sale. It was really chilly outside but that didn't stop people from trying on the fun holiday collection.

Our sales rep Amy and her best friend Melissa brought us samples of the spring collection and the customers enjoyed getting a taste of what was to come. Of course everyone wanted it now!

French Connection Party

We are having a special French Connection party this weekend. Enjoy 20% off all French Connection and be the first to see the 2008 spring collection. We'll unique pieces that you'll never see again. Our lovely sales rep, Amy is bringing gifts with purchase and we'll have refreshments!

Feel pretty, feel SWEET, feel FRENCH!
November 9th and 10th.

The Fabulous Five

I was lucky enough to go to Captiva Island this past weekend to celebrate the 60th birthday of my mom (pictured far left). If you ever wonder where my inspiration and good taste may come from, just take a look at these fantastic ladies!

I don't think that the island will ever be the same.

Happy Halloween

Check out Elspeth in her wicked cute kitty costume! She is the daughter of Emily, one of my employees and a real sweetheart. She's really crafty too- Emily made the cheetah print on her tights! Maybe I can get her to make me a pair...

It rained on our parade...

Today was our Free People sweater sale! We had a great morning but things slowed down with the showers that arrived in the afternoon.

The Marketplace hosted trick-or-treating for children and a parade that went on despite the rain. Here is Bobby-Jo from The Shoe Shop (our neighbors), passing out candy to some local kids.
