Upstairs on 7th: Ray Harris bits and news about Rundholz!

Happy Wednesday Everyone!
It is going to be a COLD week here in DC, but we’re thinking spring! Who cares what that silly American groundhog said? The Canadian groundhog said it was going to be a short winter, so we’re going with him.
We’re watching the mail for the samples of Ray Harris’ new pins and handbags. These pieces can be ordered in any of his colors and will be $100 for the pins and $300 for the purses. They will be a great addition to any of your Ray pieces, but will look great for dressing up or adding a pop of color to anything in your wardrobe. We love them. We both want them.
We are also getting about 15 hats from Ray made from his banana bark fleece. These are soft, warm and cuddly. They’re also made from recycled soda bottles, so you’re helping the environment while you’re keeping your head warm! The hats are priced at $125.
Now for the real reason you opened this email…a little Rundholz teaser. Here are a few of the new pieces they did for spring. Lots of writing which we love, lots of great tops and as for the pants in the second picture we did not get those but we wanted to show you the top! We expect about 80% of our order next week so as soon as we receive it we will let you know!
PS-We are as antsy as you are and we will be wearing our new Rundholz within hours of unpacking it, so we totally get it.
In the meantime, our sale continues and and we have taken another markdown so we are now 60-80%! Our jewelry has gone down to 60% off and our giftware is at 50% off with a few exceptions. We hope this will entice you to come in or FaceTime with us!
We will be on Facebook live today with our favorite last minute Valentine’s Day gifts for yourself or your loved ones, so tune in! We love seeing you there, it’s almost like you’re hanging out here with us, which is what we really want.
Neither of us has been watching much tv this week, aren’t you proud?! Katy has been catching up on all of the books she missed from last year. She just finished The Dutch House which she loved. Did you? Any book recs? We both love having a good stack to read.
A few funny memes before we go:
Now That I’m Older…
Don’t be worried about your smartphone or TV spying on you. Your vacuum cleaner has been collecting dirt on you for years.
I’m at a place in my life where errands are starting to count as going out.
I’m getting tired of being part of a major historical event.
I don’t always go the extra mile, but when I do it’s because I missed my exit.
At what point can we just start using 2020 as profanity? As in: “That’s a load of 2020.” or “What in the 2020.” or “abso-2020-lutely.”
My goal for 2020 was to lose 10 pounds. Only have 14 to go.
Ate salad for dinner. Mostly croutons and tomatoes. Really just one big round crouton covered with tomato sauce, and cheese. FINE, it was a pizza…. OK, I ate a pizza! Are you happy now?
I just did a week’s worth of cardio after walking into a spider web.
I don’t mean to brag, but I finished my 14-day diet food supply in 3 hours and 20 minutes.
A recent study has found women who carry a little extra weight live longer than men who mention it.
Kids today don’t know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.
Remember back when we were kids and every time it was below freezing outside they closed school? Yeah, Me neither.
I may not be that funny or athletic or good looking or smart or talented. I forgot where I was going with this.
I love approaching 80, I learn something new every day and forget 5 other things.
A thief broke into my house last night. He started searching for money so I got up and searched with him.
I think I’ll just put an “Out of Order” sticker on my forehead and call it a day.
Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
Having plans sounds like a good idea until you have to put on clothes and leave the house.
It’s weird being the same age as old people.
Life is like a helicopter. I don’t know how to operate a helicopter.
It’s probably my age that tricks people into thinking I’m an adult.
Marriage Counselor: Your wife says you never buy her flowers. Is that true? Me: To be honest, I never knew she sold flowers.
Never sing in the shower! Singing leads to dancing, dancing leads to slipping, and slipping leads to paramedics seeing you naked. So remember…Don’t sing!
If 2020 was a math word-problem: If you’re going down a river at 2 MPH and your canoe loses a wheel, how much pancake mix would you need to re-shingle your roof?
I see people about my age mountain climbing; I feel good getting my leg through my underwear without losing my balance.
So if a cow doesn’t produce milk, is it a milk dud or an udder failure?
Coronacoaster: noun; the ups and downs of a pandemic. One day you’re loving your bubble, doing work outs, baking banana bread and going for long walks and the next you’re crying, drinking gin for breakfast and missing people you don’t even like.
I’m at that age where my mind still thinks I’m 29, my humor suggests I’m 12, while my body mostly keeps asking if I’m sure I’m not dead yet.
You don’t realize how old you are until you sit on the floor and then try to get back up.
We all get heavier as we get older, because there’s a lot more information in our heads. That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.
Have a great rest of the week everyone! Come visit us and buy some sale! We’re here Thursday and Friday 11-5-ish and by appointment on Saturday.
Oops, we almost forgot! On Thursday we are getting more washable silk from Planet. We got more skirts in salmon and black and also this great top in both colors.
See you at 3:00pm EST today on Facebook Live!
Thanks for all your support in these challenging times.
Ricki and Katy
