Re-Creation Party!

So time has really snuck up on us... it's a little scary! I wanted to write about our upcoming party we're having to celebrate and show off our new look! Guess who's coming?

Ed Begley, Jr!!!!!



He will be here from 12:00-1:30 pm on Saturday September 6th to talk about ways to live more green and save money too!!!
So if you haven't heard what our big change IS, now maybe you know...
We've decided that all of our products will carry one or more of the following traits:
  • recycled
  • sustainable
  • vintage
  • reclaimed
  • organic
  • fair-trade
  • locally-made

We have always been into conservation, behind the scenes as a family who recycles, and brought that into our corporate culture here at the shop. We have a complicated system for re-using paper and sytrofoam and other things that normally get tossed out.

But why not in our products as well?

We realized a ton of our inventory already fits this new philosophy, which feels great to know! Ergo soy candles (kiwi our fave!), bamboo clothing, locally made art, etc... and now we just have to raise the bar higher when we go on buying trips to find these great items.

We're going to offer some really good redesign specials from Marie for your home, and start some new redesign series, classes, and other workshops!

I'll write some more soon about this and provide you with more details, as you can imagine things are crazy around here right now! (Did I mention the 75% off sale??)

Yeah, almost everything left in the store is now 75% off except for a few select items. We will be closed from August 27th until the party on September 6th, so come in this next week for your last chance at major savings. That sounds like a horrible radio advertisement! : )

Haute Holidays

It's beginning to feel a lot like...Christmas? no... Easter? Halloween and Thanksgiving for sure...

Well how about all of them! The holiday savings have come early this year, as we have our Haute Holidays sale with hot summer deals.

At least 75% off all items for Halloween, Thanksgiving, Easter, and Christmas!

The sale will start tomorrow, Thursday August 7th, and last until all the items are gone.

Happy Holidays!

By the way, do any of you know Ed Begley Jr?
