Blue Windows

Every year at this time I have a Fall Trunk Show. This has become a stan­dard at Blue Windows! I get excited for it every year. For me it marks the com­ing of all the Holidays. This year we are fea­tur­ing more lines than ever. October 22–24 Friday, Saturday and Sunday we will offer 20% off all orders on Vietri, Bauer, Juliska and Jan bar­boglio. This is the time to get your hol­i­day shop­ping done early with a great dis­count. We will be fea­tur­ing new Christmas items from Vietri that make great holiday/hostess gifts for around $20– $30! Don’t miss this event!

Fall is by far my favorite time of year. I love being sur­rounded by warm earthy col­ors in my store. I feel the most con­nected to my store cre­atively in these months. This year it came at a good time. I think it’s no secret that times are tough right now and I strug­gle with the stress of what the econ­omy is doing to my store. However, on the days that I just get to focus on the cre­ative side of  my job I real­ize why I am doing my best to get through this hard sea­son of retail. The real­ity is I still love my store and what it brings to my life. The store is so much of who I am and I’ve always said from day one that all I can do is the best job I can and God will take care of the rest. I truly feel my jour­ney is not over.

I spent all day Friday dec­o­rat­ing for fall. Petra and I did the win­dow dis­play and Alyson was hard at work mak­ing all the signs for our Fall Trunk Show. I am so lucky to have a cre­ative team by my side.

I chose to bring back Precious Lamb Preschool for my October char­ity. I truly believe in the work that they are doing. Children have the oppor­tu­nity to learn in a safe envi­ron­ment while their par­ents can feel com­fort­able leav­ing their chil­dren while they look for jobs or get the help they need. Please visit their web­site for fur­ther infr­ma­tion at http://www.preciouslamb.org/.

I hope every­one enjoys this sea­son. Remember to take the time to visit a pump­kin patch, have a pump­kin latte, bake any­thing with pump­kin fla­vor (I make muffins every year) and be grate­ful for the peo­ple in your life. I cer­tainly am.
