May 2016
Spring is in the air! The beautiful light tones and flowery prints adorn the store and make us all think Spring and Summer. The timing is perfect as all the flowers are popping outside and our wonderful new floral fabrics are in full bloom inside! We're gearing up for warm weather and of course that puts us in the mood for that magical time of year when even the big guy trades in his heavy coat for a swim suit! That's right it will soon be looking a lot like Christmas in July. We also look forward to another retreat. The Sun-Sational Retreat to be exact! Further information can be found on the 3rd page of the newsletter. And don't hesitate to call in with your questions. Help us make the Spring and Summer of 2016 one for the books!
