Yes, it is freezing in Chicago and lots of my lines are shipping this week so pay no attention to our 90 plus degrees and humidity. It is so cold in this building you might want to get a new winter coat to walk between Planet and U7. Or bring one. We even got the new colors for the boatneck ribbed sweater from Planet already. They are beautiful. Charcoal gray, a beautiful moss green, deep turquoise, deep wine. Love them.
Thanks to everyone who came to the Circa Sixty Three Inc jewelry show and the show at Long View Gallery. We had so much fun at both and I appreciate very much your support of the stores, the arts and local artists!
I love love love sports movies, “The Blind Side” for example and sports stories and tonight will be Derek Jeter’s last All -Star game. As a true blue Indians fan when I am not rooting for the Nats, it is hard to like the Yankees, but Derek Jeter is a special guy. The basis for the Nike ad that is going to play tonight is his habit of touching his helmut when he bats. I seriously got teary eyed watching it. How many people can you identify?

Speaking of movies, we watched Life Itself about Roger Ebert at home on demand the other night. It is really good and a testament to his inner strength. His wife, as I pointed out to my dear husband, is WAY nicer and tougher than me. He did not hesitate to agree! We also saw Obvious Child which we all liked and Jersey Boys which was ok but if you saw the play, then you will be disappointed because the energy level is just not the same. I guess to be fair you cannot compare a movie to a live performance. Of all the shows I have seen on Broadway and there have been over 100, it is the only one that I want to see again although I think I have seen Les Mis three times and I saw Harvey Fierstein twice in Torch Song Trilogy. Loved it. I hear that Begin Again is really good also. My daughter Katy calls it Twice. (A reference to Once, get it?)
There are STILL some great things on sale and you know if you do not get the jewelry by the end of July it goes back to regular price so NOW IS THE TIME to get all the black rubber jewelry and Angela Caputi pieces you have been looking at for 30% off!! The Matt and Nat handbags are all 30% off and so are the Ray Harris pieces including his fabulous white jacket! Porto too and there are a few pieces of Rundholz left but not much.
Remember that I am always open by appointment on Saturdays and starting in September we are going to be open EVERY Saturday.
See you soon!!
