Wondrous Wednesday

We shopgirls are pretty busy. With one of us being a full-time Mama plus Shopgirl and the other one being a Nana and Shopgirl, we're pretty much never available to visit our favorite shops during business hours. And gettting our hair done ... you should see the juggling act it takes to fit that in!

So as we were heading up to Pennsylvania recently for a last-minute/emergency visit, we started discussing how we feel bad for the many others in the same boat as us. How do they get their shopping done? Especially at this time of year?

And that's how we came up with Wondrous Wednesday. We're going to stay open until 7:00 tonight to give all of you busy ladies (and men) a chance to shop your favorite (c'mon, you know we're at least in your top 10 .... right??) local shop without being in a rush.

Leave the kids at home (properly supervised, of course), and head on over. Have a glass of wine. Try some delicious goodies from Dr. Pete's. Let us show you around the shop and help you out with your gift-giving needs. We've got a variety of gifts in a variety of price ranges. Plus, we've got a number of items on sale ... up to 75% off! How can you pass that up?

And if you can't leave the kids at home, bring 'em! We'll keep them entertained so you can look around.

If ya'll like this, we'll keep it going for the next few weeks. So please stop by tonight. We hate to drink alone ;)

Private Shopping Event at Joli

We had our very first private shopping event at Joli Monday night, and it was a huge hit! About 20-25 ladies came in from a local philanthropic organization and enjoyed our shop during non-business hours. We set up the above spread, and the guests received a percentage off their purchases.

Do you have a group who would like to shop here during a private shopping party? Give us a call or send us an email. We'll set up some goodies for you and offer a discount to your entire group.

HHF Recap: The Tasting

Before moving onto the tasting, I almost forgot the final arrangement from Barbara Ehret: the fern! Beautiful isn't it? We ended up selling this vase with the fern in it at the end of the night. Great job Barbara! Thanks so much for doing this for us!

We also made good use of our neighbors for the tasting. We asked Eileen Grayce and Ginny Parker to come up with some yummy deliciousness utilizing our Lowcountry Produce and Bella Cucina products.

The results was a delicious spread of appetizers, mini entrees, and desserts. All of it was fantastic, as evidenced by the fact that there was none left!

Here's our display set up next to the tasting tables.

The crowd during the tasting, sampling all of the fabulous goodies.

Unfortunately, I didn't catch these lovely ladies' names, but they perched themselves here on these chairs all afternoon, and kept watch over the food during the tasting to make sure no one overindulged. They were adorable!

Everyone raved about the food at the tasting. We thank Ginny and Eileen so much for putting together such a wonderful late afternoon feast. We know everyone enjoyed it (including us).

Bridal and Baby Registries

Did you know that you can register for your wedding or baby shower events at Joli? That's right! We will put together a registry for you and all your friends will receive 10% off their purchases on your registry. Could it get any better?

We have a wide selection of tabletop items and home accents as you can see from the pictures below ...

And of course, a great selection of unique baby items ...
Don't forget Joli for your next milestone event. And be sure to tell your friends that they'll get 10% off if they buy off your registry at Joli.

Big Kiss

We wanted to send out a big kiss to all of you who supported our sidewalk sale this past weekend. It was an amazing success, despite the rain, heat, and humidity. Thank you so very much.

Since we still have some goodies left over, we decided to extend the sidewalk sale until the merchandise is gone. So stop on in when you can to check out all this merchandise ... discounted as much as 75% off original prices.

Playhouse Palooza 2009

Allen is modeling the lovely Playhouse Palooza shirt that is available now ... for $10 each. Buy online or stop into the shop to place your order. We'll gladly take down your size and your donation and arrange for you to get your shirt. Youth and adult sizes available (obviously our model is wearing an adult-sized shirt).

And, don't miss the Playhouse Palooza event in Habersham on May 16th. You'll get to see the five awesome playhouses (glimpses offered below), and even place a bid on one if you'd like. It's an event not to be missed (oh, and the one we helped out with is the Pirate Ship ... can you guess which picture it is?).

This fundraiser is in support of Riverview Charter School. Visit their site for more information.

Love,

Thanks so much!

Thanks to everyone who came by this afternoon and supported our Lowcountry Produce Tasting. And thank you to Noel for the delicious food. We had a great time!

And because we're such dog fans, we had to share a picture of Percy, Noel's nine-month-old Great Dane. He was very thirsty after walking around Habersham for about two hours!

Thanks again, everybody!
