Now that we made the bags with all your generous contributions we need people to stop in and pick them up for distribution. We have almost 100 so you can take as many as you want. We did have a homeless shelter pick some up this week so feel free to deliver them to a shelter if you would like to. Again, thank you to everyone who contributed, helped us pack them and now, we thank you in advance for giving them away.
The shoes from Israel have arrived. I have a 38, a 39 and a 40 for you to try and order. They come in gray with black, red with black or all black. They also sent a pair of red shoes from their spring line and they asked for our feedback about them.
Leslie will be here from Planet on Thursday, January 9th and Friday, January 10th with all the spring and summer pieces. We will have the line in the store by the 7th so you are welcome to come early if you cannot make it for the show.
Here are some new matte jersey Planet pieces that come in black and midnight.
Annemieke will be here on Thursday, January 23rd and Friday, January 24th with all her new scarves and necklaces, some of which are from Katy’s paintings. The scarves look gorgeous and come in cotton and silk. She will also have her new pieces made from vintage kimonos.
Ray Harris will be here Thursday, February 13th, Friday, February 14th and Saturday, February 15th. If you need a special dress for a special occasion this is the show to attend.
Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th will welcome George Vrandenburg, who with his late wife Trish started the UsAgainstAlzheimer’s
foundation on Tuesday, January 14th. So many of us are dealing with a spouse, a friend, or a parent that has this dreadful disease so we thought this might be a good time to educate ourselves more. Especially those of us who forget why we went into the kitchen.
Another very important discussion we all need to have is what we need to make available in case something sudden should happen to us or someone close to you dies suddenly and you need information. Or passwords, or insurance certificates or anything important. We will welcome to Off the Rack: Conversations at Upstairs on 7th Robyn Wagman and Marilee Fitzgerald, owners of Estate Of Mine Organizers on Tuesday, February 25th. Prepare to get all your ducks in a row!
Please RSVP by email for either of these conversations. As usual, we will serve dinner starting at 6 with the conversation starting promptly at 7.
Don’t forget we are open this Saturday AND SUNDAY 12-5. Please use the E Street entrance as the building is locked on the weekend.
Come pick up bags for distribution and shop for all your holiday needs!
Ricki and Katy
P.S. It’s Katy’s birthday so stop by for cake!!
