I'm ready for some butterflies and dragonflies!  How about you?

Come and get your spring fix.  Here's a floral bouquet to pick you up!

Well priced so they won't last long.

After buying these cutout votive holders my client went home to discover a power failure. The votive holders were put to use right away. She came back to show me how beautiful they looked and to buy more. We totally agree that they look Fab-u-Lois!!!!!!! 

Read more about these beautiful graphic globes here.  Thanks go out to my generous client for sharing this lovely moment.

Have you had a chance to see our window display this week?  We are all crushing on this grey linen love seat.

The main topic of conversation is the store last week was the weather.  Everyone was grumbling about the cold, damp, grey weather because we know what's coming soon.  Most people seemed to have heard that the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a bitterly cold and storm filled winter.  It is said that they are 85% on the money, but this is one time I hope they got it wrong or that we are in a little protected pocket that escapes everything.

Usually this time of the year I am still selling fashion accessories more suitable for inside than outside i.e a nice little scarf to go with a denim jacket or lightweight blazer.  But not this year.  This year we have had a couple of shipments of warm and cozy scarves that have flown off the shelves in less than week and have had to re-order.  I guess we know we can't avoid winter (unless we go south) so we might as well get ready.

The scarf shown below comes in 4 colour-ways.  It is one of the ones flying out the door that was re-ordered.  It has arrived and is selling well again.  Unbelievably soft to the touch and wide enough for a small shawl, it would make a great gift paired with a matching wallet (yellow, blue and red pictured below) or matching cell phone wallet (golden yellow).  Yesterday I had a client add one of our crystal top pens in a matching colour to the scarf and wallet combo.  (Clients give me some of my best ideas.)

Here's a collection based on orange, a colour that has remained strong for fall and winter.   Warm up on a chilly late fall day by pairing a scarf with a coordinating knit headband.  The colour blends in the knit headbands are retro and fun.  They add a new take in accessories for this season.  Also included are other "Fab-u-Lois Finds" like the necklace, watch, wallet and Shelley Kyle products.  

Everybody can look great while staying warm.  Winter is coming!
