So Its Fall!

Well it is almost October 1st and we are still in the triple digit temperatures.... do we all feel like we belong in the asylum because we are going CRAZY!!!! from all this heat.... so tired of sweating and getting no relief... oh well at least its cool at 6am in the morning.....!!

Just thought you might enjoy a few more Fall and Halloween pics of #1 shop....
WE CAN PRETEND.....AND GET IN THE MINDSET THAT IT REALLY IS FALL.

I guess before we know it we will be able to wear sweaters and boots! One can only hope!

New Artist at CG#2

Meet Marci she makes the most amazing bags and sweet fabric flowers.... her company is called Flipped Bird and she is now part of the cottage garden group of local artists.... her bags can be turned inside out so it like you have 2 bags in one and then clip one of her flowers on it to really give it a little pazzzzzz!!!! And isn't she as cute as her product!

Fall Trunk Show!

Our first Fall trunk show was absolutely fabulous..... thanks to all the girls who came out Friday night and shopped their little hearts out.... I again was so busy that I didn't have a chance to take photos of the girls shopping but I did manage to take some photos of the outfits that Meilan and I put together...

This wonderful little lightweight jacket was a big hit on Friday night... the detail on it is so wonderful.... it also comes in black.

Last Thursday our big Cut Loose order came in just in time for the show... this swing top looks great over the scooter pants... but then again what doesn't look good with the ever popular scooter pants.

Valerie is such a good sport when we ask her if we can snap pics of her trying on the new clothes.

She fits right in with our new dressing room!

Meilan snapped me with our new Comfy USA tunic top.... I had on the scooter pants but then changed into lace edged leggings that looked really cute. This tunic was also very popular on Friday night....

Brenda couldn't make it Friday night so she came in in the afternoon.... she could be a model and she let us take her pics of the clothes she was trying on..... she has that kind of figure that EVERYTHING looks good on her.... she had fun and ended up with a fabulous start to her fall wardrobe....

We added a new dressing room on at the shop.... It is so frilly and romantic looking you just don't want to leave it.... Ashley one of our local artists dropped by with some of her new creations and vintage fabric clip bows.... they look so great clipped on the curtains of the new dressing room.

Again thank you all for coming out for our fall trunk show and for making it a great success....

Step into Autumn!

Step up to the front porch of #1 shop and you instantly feel Fall in the air.... The wreath on the front door lets you know that it is time to decorate with all the hues of oranges and yellows and browns....

Filled a rolling wicker shopping basket with a fall wreath, pumpkin and flowers... it is sitting behind the awesome giant metal pumpkins from Roundtop Collection...

Wreaths on the windows and a large floral arrangement in a metal basket.

Even decorated a metal chandlier with a garland of sunflowers.... and fall leaves in the green tree in the corner of the porch.

Pumpkins and fall foliage is everywhere on the porch.

An old wash bucket filled with bittersweet and red geraniums. The geraniums were in there and just added the bitttersweet to give it a fall look... so easy.

Just inside the front door another giant pumpkin with pussywillows propped behind it.... and bittersweet hanging from the top...

Mark your calendars girls for September 16th.... we will be bringing out all the new fall clothing with a big bash trunk show. Wine and muchies will be served from 5pm - 9pm... Indulge a little then have fun picking out some new clothes.... We have some great new clothing lines that we know you are going to just fall in love with.... See you soon! An email blast will be going out this week......

Catlin Cash Play Days!

Oh my what fun the girls had this past weekend playing with all the play money that they gathered up from shopping all summer long. There was so many happy faces and giggling going on and chit chatting among them all if they weren't friends before they are now....

Again so many gals showed up in outfits that they bought at #2 shop.... and they all sure look great!
Gail had a great floral top on with black leggings.....

This striped tunic on Tammy has been so popular.... Monica had it on in a previous blog post... the big black bow on the back is what really sells this top and the pockets....

Morgan came straight from cheer practice cuz she had her eye on a lace top that was her size.... she wanted to grab it before it was gone....

Decisions decisions what to choose.... Michelle was having the hardest time.... she ended up with both and then some....

Evie was a happy girl with her purchases....

These gals traveled all the way from Mesa... oh yes they made the trip worthwhile....

This is one of our new tops... it is so silky and looks so 1930's....

Dawn had her eye on a Laura Van box and lo and behold it was still there... so she snapped it up with her play money..... check Dawn's blog out bohemianvalhalla.blogspot.com she has posted more pictures of our weekend....

Valerie bought this cute floral top with the ever popular crochet.....

And this top too.... it reminds me of my grandfather's hanky.... it is so light and airy feeling... great for these really miserably hot days.....

Jennifer bought this stripe top from our Comfy USA line... it is so comfy (no pun intended) that you won't want to take it off....


THANKS TO ALL FOR MAKING THIS WEEKEND SUCH A GREAT SUCCESS! AND FOR ALL THE SUPPORT YOU GIVE ME..... I WOULDN'T BE HERE IF IT WEREN'T FOR EACH AND EVERYONE OF YOU!

Our next event will be September 16th from 5pm - 9pm.... we will be having a trunk show of all our new Fall clothing and jewelry ( our local artists are busy creating so we will have new one of a kind pieces) .... and of course wine and munchies will be served.... so mark your calendars.... and by the way- we will be adding a 3rd dressing room on so there won't be too much waiting to try on all the new clothes..... YIPPEEE! See you soon.

Halloween Girly Style!

The shop girls Monica and Meilan had fun decorating a corner of shop #2 for Halloween.... and of course jewelry had to be incorporated into it....

A glittery gnarled tree with flower clips on it....

Black spider web doilies and runners... embellished with jewlery....and french fabric flowers...

Great idea Monica... she stuck red roses in the skulls eye sockets to give it a day of the dead look..... cool!

Above your head as you come in the front door is hanging halloween themed boxer shorts and spider web runners.... it gave the entrance such an erie feel....

A mercury glass pumpkin nestled in between jewelry and our skull clips....

A glittery candelabra embellished with fabric flowers and jewelry......

Here's the brains behind the decorating.... Monica wearing one of our new stripped tunics... this one is so cute with a big black bow across the back..... and leggings with lace across the bottom....

See you all soon!
