She's back...

so, I am back from my va-cay. Very nice week, I will try to post some photos later. I warmed up to work this week, putting off the email. I had 'only' 438 messages in my email in-box. Why do they think I need discount pharmaceuticals and enhancements oh-so-badly? I was able to weed through a few and saw a note from Elaine Ray about this fab ring created by Melanie of Earthenwood Studio. Elaine was looking out for me on my vacation-I wonder if she knew I'd have so many important offers to consider on my return?

Thanks Elaine and thanks to Melanie, too!

(And a big, extra, you-got-my-back thanks to Elaine for letting me know I called Melanie 'Melissa' when I first posted this. D-oy!)

See our painted masterpieces

We had a great time on our Staff Development Day when we closed down both the stores and spent the day at the park. We all did a bit of Round-Robin painting. The paintings were really great and now we are going to show them off to the world at one of my favorite places, Locopops. Yep, that's right, you can come see our paintings AND eat an Avocado popsicle. Or a Mango Chili, or even a Strawberries and Cream. If you haven't been to Locopops yet, it's across Hillsboro Street from the NC State Bell Tower.

You're invited:

Locopops
2600 Hillsboro Street, Raleigh

Thursday, July 3rd from 7:00-9:00

You can meet the artists and mingle with them, it will be the best art show you have ever, ever been to!

See you there!
