Follow the footprints

So, have we told ya'll about our awesome neighbors upstairs? They're the best neighbors ever! They bring us goodies all the time (like homemade chocolate cake and macaroons  -- YUM). They come and chat with us when it's quiet. They have even covered the shop for us a few times.

Well, today, they took their awesomeness to a whole new level. Inspired by the uber-talented street artist, Katie Sokoler, they decided to draw footprints leading to the shop, in honor of our inaugural "First Friday" event.

Take a look ...

And you should see the hopscotch board (is that the right term) they set up for the kids. Funnest.One. Ever.

Aren't these girls awesome? The whole family totally rocks!

Reader's Choice!

Today began like every other morning for me at the shop ... until I received an email with this subject line:

Congratulations Readers Choice Nominee!

Imagine my excitement when I opened the email and read that Joli has been nominated for the Best Gift Shop in the Beaufort Gazette Readers Choice Awards! We are honored and touched that someone nominated us. 

Now we just need to win. That's where ya'll come in. Please please please, head on over to the voting site, and vote for us. And while you're at it, please vote for the other great businesses here in the Habersham Marketplace, as well as around Beaufort. You can vote once a day until May 17th.

Thank you to the person who nominated us. And we are so proud to be in the Habersham Marketplace, where almost every other business has been nominated as well. We wish all the nominees the best!

Giveaway Winner!

We are happy to announce the winner of our Loo-Pourri giveaway -- Jen (aka I'm a Nola Girl). Congratulations, Jen! And since we're all about blog-love, check out Jen's blog, by clicking below. It's a wonderful blog filled with delicious recipes, wonderful gems about New Orleans, and more!

Jen, please feel free to stop by to pick up your gift, or email us (allegra(at)jolihomeandevents(dot)com) to arrange for us to drop it off to you!

Giveaway: Loo-Pourri

OK, admit it. You've seen our Poo-Pourri display in our Powder Room. And you've been tempted to buy it, because, well, nobody likes to smell that smell. But have you been too embarrassed to make the purchase? To even ask if it works?

First of all, let me assure you that it does, indeed, work. As the tagline says, "Spritz the bowl before you go and no one else will ever know!" This all natural toilet spray uses essential oils to trap the odor before it even escapes!

Since, even we might feel a little shy about purchasing something like this, we've decided to give some away. To let one of our loyal customers and readers try it before buying it. But it gets better! Along with the brand new product, Loo-pourri (scented with Grapefruit and Vetiver), we're giving away a lovely silver, refillable atomizer. That way, you can carry it in your purse without advertising what it is. Look! Isn't a pretty little gift set??

To enter, all you need to do is post a comment. Just tell us how much you love us, or something (we love getting compliments). To get extra entries, become our fan on Facebook and become a follower of our blog (we're all about the love). A winner will be chosen at random next Wednesday.

We're back after a brief hiatus, with two spring-inspired picks of the week.

Want spring? Check out these lovely BloemBoxes! Choose from a Bumblebee Garden, Hummingbird Garden, or Butterfly Garden. Or choose from a selection of edible flowers and other beautiful spring delights. All you need in one box. Biodegradable-fabric seed strips.Plant them in the ground, and watch them grow. Fabulous, right?

Allegra's Pick: Botanical Prints

Cherrio! What could be cheerier than these prints? Don't these little delights make you almost believe it's Springtime? Each time I look at these cottagey images, I get giddy for the warmer weather. And at $35 each, they're almost too good to be true.

Happy weekend, friends. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Shopgirls Picks of the Week

 How are you doing on this dreary afternoon, friends? Despite the miserable weather, I'm having a delightful time in the shop ... for two reasons:

1) While it's been fairly quiet, some loyal customers have traveled here, braving the torrential rain,  just to visit our "wonderful shop." How sweet!

2) New shipments arrived today! Much of the morning was spent unpacking new lovelies and arranging them around the shop. Don't you want to stop in and visit?

Not to leave you in too much suspense, we shopgirls have each picked one of our new items to feature in this week's edition of our "Pick of the Week." So without further ado ...

Cheryl's Pick of the Week: Goody Goody

We have been admirers of the whimsical Goody Goody purses, jewelry rolls, and wallets for some time now. And at January's show, we decided that we were completely smitten and could resist them no longer. These wonderful woven silk accessories both feel and look luxurious. Not to mention making the proud owner feel sophisticated and divine. Imagine spicing up date night with one of the purses; wrapping your jewelry like a little gift in one of the jewelry rolls, or pulling out one of the fabulous wallets during your next outing.We hope you're just as smitten with these wonderful little gems as we are.

Allegra's Pick: M.Bellish'd Watches

These watches by M.Bellish'd totally made us swoon. Why, you ask? Because they rock! And they're interchangeable, versatile, and totally chic! You start buy purchasing one of the watches that comes with a solid cuff. Then, you can add a variety of printed cuffs by just snapping the watch to it. How awesome is that?! Since the cuffs are cotton, they're totally comfortable, and washable to boot. Have you ever seen such an awesome watch? Come in soon and try them on!

Well, that wraps up our Pick of the Week post. Tell me, friends, which one is your favorite? What would you like to see us feature on future picks?

Have a rockin' Super Bowl Sunday, all. Be safe!

xoxo,
