Let’s celebrate with a 10% off sale…online and in store! We’ve wanted to open our online boutique for just about forever!  Thanks to our brilliant Cheryl, our dream is now a reality! Our goal is to make shopping online as easy and pleasant as it is to shop in our store.  We’re starting with a select group of fashion and accessory pieces and it will grow and change, on a regular basis. Drum roll, please!  Be one of the first to take a look at our online boutique! Save 10% all week, Tuesday through Sunday, online and in our shop, here in…

Our little get-away… Thanks to my sister, Susan, inviting all the sibs to Santa Barbara, for a wedding reception, Mr. Wonderful and I made our second road trip down the coast, in twenty five years!  What?! It was a wonderful time and most of us behaved ourselves! Thankfully, we split the drive down, in two, staying in Santa Cruz and having a memorable dinner at the Shadowbrook, in Capatola.  If you ever get to the area, we highly recommend this gem, first opened in 1947. It’s always good to get home, especially after an eight hour drive!  The amazing thing…

Summer’s really here! Those of us who have called Northern California our home, for as long as I have, aren’t surprised by really hot weather! Yet, we know that when it’s hot like it’s supposed to be, today and Wednesday, shop traffic comes to a stand-still.  So, instead of playing dominos or gin rummy, at the shop,  we thought we’d try to encourage you to visit, with a small incentive! Anytime in June, when temp’s reach 100 degrees, you’ll get 10% off your purchases! It’s just our small way to say “thank you”! While the rest of us are dreaming…

Hello, gorgeous! Mr. Wonderful and I have been “summarizing” (I made that up) the Tahoe house, this weekend. I’m the chief cook and housekeeper, while Bob brings out the deck furniture and puts the boat in the water. The temp’s are in the mid 60’s, so it isn’t summer yet, but will be soon. Yay! Are you feeling crafty? There’s still a spot available for our Vintage Window workshop, on Saturday, June 1st, at 1:00. ($95) The delightful Debbie Smith, returns on Saturday, June 8th for our annual Birdhouse workshop from 1:00, until about 3:00. ($45) You can sign up for any of our workshops at…

Hello Beautiful! This is just a quick note to tell you that we’re having a 20% Off Jewelry Sale, this weekend…Friday, Saturday and Sunday.  We sell lots of earrings and they make a great gift or little “pick-me-up”.  Most earrings are $21.00 normally, so this weekend, they’ll be just $16.80! We’ve got lots of jewelry in stock, no matter what your taste, so take a look. _________________ While you’re at the shop, we just got our monthly delivery from your favorite clothing line!  I just saw one item, but how fun is this? Have you checked out our upcoming workshop schedule? If…

Hello gorgeous! I returned late Friday night, from Virginia.  This little boy is growing up way too quickly and I don’t want to miss a beat!  He’s so happy and easy to please and he looked so adorable in this hand-me-down astronaut jumpsuit!  I wish his dad was as carefree and happy.  Divorce is so hard! I pray for him all the time and need to remember that God’s at the wheel. On to the fun stuff!… Thanks to Dori, we had back-to-back Decoupaged Tennies workshops, on Saturday and Sunday and the finished projects were adorable! My favorite had to…
