It’s HALLOWEEN and we are having a two day PARTY! Come on Friday 11-6 or Saturday 12-5 for lots of treats and some great tricks including a raffle of some great prizes! It is the best excuse I can think of for getting a LOT of candy!
With Halloween here that means the holidays are almost here and of course the lights are going up everywhere in town. Ok, at City Center they are. And since my life is now just a four block radius that would be the whole town. There is no sense waiting for the end of November when we USED to put them up, when we can do it now and then stretch it out to Easter! So with that in mind our holiday gifts are all ready to go and out for you to see and choose. Get your lists ready. They are all between 20 and 50 so good stocking stuffers and office gifts. Here are some of my favorites.
Decorative pens $20
Decorative pen with leather mini notebook $25
Scarf in various colors $40 and gemstone leather bracelet $30
Stylus with pen $20
The Cuba event is shaping up to be very fun as we have had several RSVPs and in answer to some questions, yes you can bring guests. The more the merrier and several people are bringing significant others so feel free to do so as well. It may be one of the first times we have had lots of men in the store. Don’t forget that there will be some art you can acquire and it goes to benefit the JCC which helps the general Cuban community and especially its artists.
It will take place on Thursday, November 5th from 5:30-8:30. Dinner will be served. Please RSVP so that I have enough food and champagne.
The small works of two Cuban artists, Reinaldo Camejo de las Casas and Alberto Borroto, will be for sale.
Reinaldo Camejo de las Casas lives in Havana Cuba with his wife and two children. He was born in1952 and has exhibited in solo and group shows in Havana. His paintings are included in private collections in the United States, Mexico, Spain, Peru, Canada, Italy, Argentina, Chile, and France.
Cuban artist Alberto Borroto Infante makes these instruments from found objects.
We have been selling lots of our fabulous coats and as it gets colder you are going to feel very badly if you didn’t get one, so come in soon. They are all in U7 TOO so it makes it very easy to try them all on.

We are getting a new shipment from Comfy today or tomorrow and we also got in some very interesting necklaces from Monies. I am also getting one more leather necklace and bracelet if anyone wants one. Speaking of jewelry, we have tons of fabulous pieces for the holidays.
Planet has great clothes and we especially love the matte jersey tee that goes so well with their matte jersey bottoms as well as jeans or over the ruched dress. We have them in black and navy at the moment!
Last weekend we were in Charleston, South Carolina eating our way through this very beautiful city. While we ate at some really good restaurants I have not gotten over the lunch we had at Cru Cafe. I am still trying to figure out how anyone could make brisket that good. It was amazing. We also saw House of Cards and a movie with Kate Mara being filmed across the street from our hotel. The Custom House is being used for the front of the Capitol building since it costs less money to film there than here or Baltimore. It was a very fun four days although when we got home and fresh pastries and coffee were not made for me when I got up, I was a little disappointed. It only takes me about an hour to get used to being waited on. And about a week to get over it when I am not.
Hope to see you in the store this week and at the 2 day Halloween party. Don’t miss the treats or the tricks!
