We close at 2pm today. We will reopen at 9:30 on Saturday Morning!

Happy New Year!

The Willows is having an after-Christmas Sale!

All Christmas items are 60% off!

We also re-opened our back "SALE ROOM" with lots of new items including chairs, apparel, items from Paris and more - all 50% off!

Since we will be closed on Friday, January 1 for New Years -

we have moved January's 'First Friday' to Saturday from 10am-2pm.

All Sale Items left in our back room will be 70% off at that time!

What better way to start off the New Year than with a sale?

Merry Christmas!

Kim was in New York this past weekend. We thought we'd share some photos with you!

Merry Christmas to you and your families!

Last Minute Gift Guide

While we'd all like to think that we're Martha Stewart i.e. the gifts were all bought and perfectly packaged months ago, the guest linens are freshly ironed and guest rooms freshly accented with robes and roses, and five choices of dessert (all prepared by you of course) are available to your diners upon finishing your gourmet Christmas feast,

the truth is...

something will be burned in the oven

the storage will be cleared out of the guest bedroom the day before guests arrive

we will all be running around on Christmas Eve for something we forgot.

To make life a little less hectic, The Willows has put together our

Last Minute Holiday Gift Guide for the Entire Family:
1. For the Hostess – Holiday Vietri dinnerware in snowflake designs.

2.For Busy Mom – locally-made heart and pearl charm necklace with various quotes to mom.

Chestnut Lane

You know those places and things that you love so much that you don't even have to use the full name and people already know what you are talking about? Like S-bucks? A new Louis? Well, Chestnut (Chestnut Lane) has just joined that category as the most talked about restaurant/bakery in Arcadia. The owner, Polly, is truly a genius in the kitchen, and the kindest person you will ever meet! It is truly amazing to us that food can be that addictive - we literally wake up craving their scones every morning, and their oatmeal is talked about at least once a day at The Willows. Whenever we can, we Willowettes grab a lunch of lobster cobb salad and prosciutto and brie sandwich on an MJ baguette - this lunch will make you feel like you are in Paris. In fact, you may find yourself buying a plane ticket after you eat it.

And just take a look at their holiday goodies!

You can find their full menu here.
We know you will enjoy Chestnut as much as we do! Let their wonderful staff help you treat your family and friends for the holidays!

Thursday, December 10!

Friday!

We hope to see you all at our

First Friday Flea Market in The Willows parking lot on December 4 from 10am-2pm!

Please see below - frances & smeeks - two great boutiques! - will be having an event in the evening that everyone should go check out!

Make your community smile - shop local!
