First edition of our e-newsletter!

Yay! The first newsletter has been sent out! Send us an e-mail if you would like to get a copy sent to you. It's stuffed full of fun ideas, stories, events, coupons and glittery confetti!
(Ok, all is true except for the confetti part. That stuff is hard to vacuum up!) Like most things in life, the newsletter is a work in progress. And it is nameless. So if you have an idea of what to call it, send ideas our way (you can click that lil' e-mail link on the right over there.) If we choose your name to use, you will be awarded a handcrafted prize. So put yer creative thinkin' cap on and send in your submissions!

As always, thanks for your support. Cheers to art! :o)

Boo!

Looking for a nifty vintage costume or need some pieces and parts to your Halloween getup? We've still got racks of fun costumes and vintage threads at the boutique! It's starting to get down to crunch time, so the pickins' are starting to get slim, but swing on by or give us a call if you are looking for that *last* little detail...like a hot pink feather boa or a pirate shirt!

Columbus Day weekend, falling leaves & hot, simmering cider.

Hi everyone and happy fall! Ahhh...it's my favorite time of year! It is such a treat to be able to drive down windy 175 this time of year to get to the boutique. The mornings have been crisp but sunny; the leaves are vibrant hues of reds and yellows; there is a true magic in the air around here.

So in the spirit of fall and all things festivy, the boutique is all decorated and open all all weekend from 10-6 with hot cider and tasty treats to snack on. We've got art sales and a few new artists, so swing on by and check it all out! (The ride down Route 175 is soooooooo worth it!)

(Despite frosty nights, this big ol' pot o' veggies & plants that my mom planted is loving life!)

(Mum came from Owen's Farm on Rte. 175--a must stop on a leaf-peeping day!)

Halloweeeeeeeeeeeen!

Desktop Patterns!

We're trying something new at the boutique: a loop of slides that play on a screen to the groovy store music. I have designed a bunch of them and thought I would share. This project is going to go live in a few days, along with some new rockin' tunes (yessss.....I did have a customer say the other day: "You do listen to a LOT of Michale Jackson! Everytime I come in here, Jackson Five is playing." I know. Guilty.) So new tunes and slides will be making their appearance in a few days. (Sidenote: freelance musicians! Feel free to send me tunes to play in the shoppe!)

In the meantime I thought I would post a few designs so that YOU can enjoy these funky designs (and help spread the word to support local artists)! The following images can be used as desktops on your computer. Just click on the image and it *should* pop up in another window. Right click, and select "set to desktop pattern."

Enjoy and happy fall! :o)
