We have amazing sweaters this year!  Here are just a few of the sweaters that will keep you warm this winter:

We are working on getting some speakers but what we are finding out is that a lot of the people we would love to have are represented by agents so it is taking us some time to sort through all the red tape involved.  If anyone has someone they would like to see or knows someone so that we can get to them a little easier, please let us know. We love having the series!

I have not written about our return policy in a very long time and we have added many people to this roster of customers so I wanted to tell you what it is so that we are all very clear on it.

As you know we have a very very lenient return policy compared to most small stores.  You can return within 7 days and receive a credit on your card or if you paid cash we will give you a check.  After 7 days you will receive a store credit.  After 14 days your purchase is a final sale.  All sale merchandise is final as well.  You are welcome to take something home overnight as long as you return it by the next day if you decide not to keep it at no charge, which is a perk that big stores cannot do, and we are happy to do it for you.

On special orders that are for pieces that are not part of our regular stock or pieces you order from a trunk show, or pieces that we had but we have run out of, you have to pay 1/2 down when the order is taken and the rest when it arrives.  It is a FINAL SALE unless it comes in damaged.

For those of you who shop with us from out of town we will send a box and not charge you for anything until we hear from you as to what you want to keep.  (I have been told by many of our vendors that no one does this.) We will only charge those items you want and we appreciate that you will send us the remaining items back within two days.  However, if you ask us to special order something you will have to pay half down and half the day we ship and it is a final sale.

We work really really hard to buy our lines with you in mind, literally.  But while having the store is not exactly digging ditches, it is still work and in order to stay in business we have to remain profitable.  I KNOW you all understand and we appreciate you beyond words, but every once in a while it is good just to let everyone know what our policies are. Ok, the lecture is over and we can go back to our regularly scheduled program.

What were we talking about?  Oh yes, sweaters.  Here is my favorite that I bought myself this season.


Rundholz, of course.

We are starting to get our holiday gifts and everything with the exception of one or two items are $50 or less.  Katy has found so many great gifts for your office Secret Santa program or hostess gifts or just a little something for yourself.  We are getting the Christian Lacroix playing cards again because they sold out so fast last year.

The holidays are fast approaching and it seems like this year has flown by!
But it does feel good to have a little cooler weather so I hope you are all enjoying it.

Stop in and see us soon.  We have lots of beautiful hats and gloves and scarves too!

Ricki and Katy
