New items for the Season
We just unpacked a big box of Pashmina scarves in some really great colors. These are in solids and also some very 'with-it' patterns of circles and paisleys. Since they're about 26" wide and 72" long, they can also be used as shawls (I packed one in a little shoulder bag this summer so I could use it in chilly air-conditioned restaurants).
Pashmina is a fine cashmere wool and these are soft, soft, soft. Plus the price of $18 - $22 is unbelievable.
Also new - more sterling jewelry from Roggio. These are the handcrafted earrings and bracelets that I've had on the counter. Thought I'd better get in enough so there's a good selection going into winter.
Other new items include greeting cards and books. I'm now carrying a better selection of kids' birthday cards and am getting back into childrens' books. I used to sell a lot of kids' books and have always loved great illustrations with a great story.

Sale Update
Update, Monday Sept 28th.
Wow - we saw a lot of people this past weekend. Phyllis manned the cash register and I was busy carrying things out for people and trying to re-arrange furniture as things were sold. We loved it! Gave away a lot of coupons for discounts and gift certificates that people can use over the next 3 months.
If you haven't registered for the $100 gift certificate, make sure you do so now (see the post below). We'll draw for the winners on October 13th.
