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 ;)

Shopgirls Picks of the Week

Cheryl's Pick of the Week: Paddywax Candles

We love Paddywax candles. They smell delicious; they're colors are vibrant; they burn beautifully. However, after carrying them in our shop since our opening, we have decided to liquidate our inventory. But that's good news for you because it means that we're offering our Paddywax candles at 50% off! Stop in and check out our selection of yummy candle goodness.

Allegra's Pick of the Week: Jewelry

Jewelry at 30% off. Need I say more? Hurry and check out our selection of awesome jewelry on sale until the end of this week only. We love our jewelry, and think it's all fabulous ... but we bought more jewelry at market and need to make room. So help us out, OK?

Classy and Sassy

We'd like to introduce you to our new jewelry line, Classic Hardware. Ultra hip, eclectic, and sassy, this jewelry can be seen on the likes of everyone from Chris Isaak to Madonna. And now on you too!

Creator Karyn Cantor has designed every piece in the entire line (which unfortunately is too large for us to carry, so we've selected a few of our favorites for starters). She mixes vintage vogue with new trends to create some pretty awesome jewelry. Awesome enough that it's been worn on Sex and the City, Bones, and Friends. It's also been featured in Vanity Fair magazine and more.

Stop in soon to check out our entire collection of this funky jewelry ... before it all sells out!

*Bling Bling*

So we went to see this great vendor this morning. She creates these delicious charms for necklaces and bracelets. And then we (the shopgirls) get to pick out the charms we like and create our own one-of-a-kind jewelry pieces for our fabulous friends (aka customers). Wanna a sneak peak? These are the necklaces we made for ourselves ... but the ones for you are just as awesome!

After four exhausting days, we're finally finished, and we get to go home tomorrow. Miss ya'll and can't wait to see you on Wednesday!

xoxo,

Crafty Idea

As some of you may know, we have some really talented friends who frequent our shop. And they're always happy to share their ideas with us ... and with all of you! So here's our latest great idea, coming from our dear young friend Hannah (she was also our face painter for the sidewalk sale).

She purchased two of these cute little wire hearts (for $.75 each), attached earring hooks to them, and gave them to her mom as a gift!

Her mom (Elena Madden)loves them! Since her Mom's hair is similar in coloring to the hearts, she may paint them silver so they stand out a little bit more. Such an awesome idea, don't you think? Altogether this gift cost less than $5, but the smile on Mom's face is priceless (it's like a MasterCard commercial).

Enjoy!

Earth Day: Green is the new black

In honor of Earth Day, we're happy to offer 20% off all of our "green" items in the shop for the entire week! This includes all Green Glass Co. glasses, our Paddywax Eco Collection candles, our EnVbags, our Aspen Bay Candles (Capri Blue & Traviata collections), and our domino and bottlecap jewelry from The 3 Sisters. Stop in or call us to take advantage of this great offer.

Speaking of green, we're loving the color right now. So much that we just set up a green display in our shop. Isn't it gorgeous? It really sets the mood for this time of year, don't you think? Not to mention the scents on those Paddywax candles ... New Mown Hay, Key Lime, and Verbena. Yummy!

Have a great day ya'll. We sure will. And don't forget to make every day Earth Day ... check out what the EPA suggests we can do each day to help the environment.

Go green!
