October 4th

It's a frosty morning and it looks like it really is Fall.  I love this time of year and it seems that many of my Gables customers feel the same (of course, there are a few who feel sad because summer is ending....).
A personal note: I was not posting to my blog this summer due to family obligations.  Sometimes you just have to concentrate on the really important stuff and trust that things will work out.  Well, they have and life is going on again.
The Gables has been a big part of my life for over 20 years ( gasp) and I'm looking forward to what unfolds in the future.

Handbag Sale starts Oct 1st

 Baggallini Madness!

 

OK - it's not really that crazy.  But it is a really good Sale on all handbags.  A double discount of 15% off

plus an additional 15% discount.  The sale is just 3 days long, Oct 1st through the 3rd.  If you can't make 

it to the store, respond to this post during October and we'll honor the sale price.

Fall is Here!

My favorite time of year.  

The clear, sunny days - the pumpkins and mums - the fantastic colors.

We've tried to bring some of the magic of fall into The Gables.

We've had some really great new things coming into the store for the season and have been having fun making new displays.  Among the new goodies:  hats from SanDiego Hats (wow), fun little

accents for Halloweeen and Christmas, seasonal flags and floor mats, slates, and of course 

some fabulous silk flowers, pine, & accents.

Jewelry Day!

Just a reminder - this coming Saturday, June 19th, is our first ever Jewelry Day.  All jewelry will be 25% of  plus we're bringing out a lot of back stock and pricing it to sell. 
You won't want to miss this one, so hope to see you!  It's also the last day of our Spring Sale and everything in the shop is 20% off.
We do have Lay Away in case you'd like to do some early gift shopping.

On another note, last Saturday was our Garden Tea.  While we couldn't set up in the garden on account of rain, we had great time serving tea and delicious treats on our 2nd Floor.  Watch for a posting of the recipe for the Almond Bars that Judy baked.  Everyone seemed to want the recipe so as soon as I get organized I'll post it.

For those of you who may be interested, I'm in the middle of caring for both of my parents and am not able to post very often.  But they're my priority right now, so hang in there and I'll be back.  Thank you to everyone for their kind words and support.
