Just wanted to say that I survived V-Day and that I have the greatest customers. After all was said and done, my little store doubled what it did last year for Valentine's Day. Thanks to Love, maybe the economy is improving or perhaps the credit card companies have been extending credit. What ever the case may be, I am grateful. Here is a little peek into my world. Enjoy, Heidi
I was treated by my BFF the other day to my very first Anthropologie experience, it was everything I expected and more. I felt proud to see some of the same items for sale in the shop that I sell in my little ole store (the calenders you see on the right). We window shopped till we dropped, ate till we almost popped, ooooed and aaahhhed at all of the multi-million dollar houses with their bajillion Christmas lights decorating their trees, houses and fences. I guess you can't tell that we had a great time. She wanted to treat me for my Birthday early since it falls on the 22 and so many years it just feels like I don't even have one. She really made me feel special, that is her gift. I am so grateful for my wonderful friends and for having and Anthropologie in Houston. Enjoy, Heidi.
The Summer Sale catalog arrived in the mail today from Pottery Barn. I have always used this catalog along with Anthropologie and Ballard Designs as FREE design inspiration. If the magazine subscriptions are not in your budget then get your name on the mailing list of these guys. Any of these images are worthy of coming out of the latest magazines on the rack. Tons of creative design ideas.
Wishing you all a lovely weekend and a Happy Father's Day. Heidi
