around the house...

Happy Halloween!

We had the family over this weekend to celebrate my mom's birthday and enjoy that some cool weather finally seems to be arriving.  I have pumpkins around my house and candles lit and we are slowly starting to feel like Fall.  Starting to feel those holiday times creeping in on us.  Off to watch some grandkids trick or treat tonight and then on to California again to bring back some more treasures for the big grand opening of the Union.  Stay tuned!

halloween dinner party

My friend Laurie in California always knows how to throw together the best dinner parties.  Last week when I was in Balboa, she invited a few women over for dinner and we showed up to this.  The perfect little impromptu Halloween dinner party!  Grab a couple of these ideas for your dinner this weekend!

Happy Weekend!

pumpkins and white house

Our new neighbors at the Union, White House Flowers brought us some lovely pumpkins for Fall!  They went so quickly, Mary and I decided to pick some more up on our way home from California last week.  We shoved them in anywhere they could fit in our already packed truck.  Some even rode home on Mary's lap!  We couldn't help but try to get the biggest ones they had.  Nothing like going to a pumpkin patch in October to get you in the mood of the season!  Already we only have a few left in the shop, so hurry in if you are hoping to grab one, or check out what is available at White House!  Happy Fall!  So glad you are finally here!

p.s. I thought I would just throw this big ol' pumpkin in the back of my truck all by myself...

Just kidding.  It took three large men to get it in my truck!

are you getting excited...

...for the Union?  

We sure are!  Here's a little sneak peek at how things are going over there!

Stay tuned for updates!

lookin' good

We can't help ourselves when we go to the apparel mart.  There is just too much good stuff and we come home so excited about absolutely everything we've ordered.  Mary has such amazing taste and knows how to put it all together perfectly.  If you need a personal shopper, she's your gal.  We seem to have shipments coming in almost everyday of fabulous new lines we have picked up (as well as our old favorites!).  So, come in and get some new, awesome and unique items and let us help you spruce up your wardrobe with those key pieces that you will love forever!

One of the newest lines we are super excited about is the denim line Mother.  It is an awesome line and is getting rave reviews everywhere!  There's a great skinny pair called The Looker and a skinny flare called The Runway.  They have already hit the shelves and are sure to go fast!

In addition to Mother, we always have our favorite, AG Jeans in stock!  We currently have lots of styles and colors of both Mother and AG coming soon!

new styles at the willows

We are always finding new things to bring to the shop and wanted to give you a little peek at some of the new designs we now have available at the Willows...

For any questions, call the store or come on in!

let me put that on my calendar

We absolutely love these calendars.  We get them every year and they go flying right out of the store.  Hurry in to get yourself one.  They also make great Christmas gifts (did I just bring up Christmas?) for any of those hard-to-by-for people on your list.  And think, you would already have a head start on Christmas shopping...

another california road trip

Last weekend Susan and I decided we needed to hop in the truck and head over to California to find some good treasures for the store.  As usual, we found so much goodness, the truck was busting at the seams as it hit the road back to Phoenix.  Poor, me, I actually had to stay in California to head to the mart this week to do some apparel shopping with Mary.  Rough life, I know.  While we were in Newport, we had to hit up Pizzeria Mozza to try their raved about pizzas using Phoenix's own Chris Bianco's tomatoes.  Mmmm, mmm good.  Definitely put it on your list next time you are in the Newport Area.  I am sure we will come back from market with all sorts of new wonderful apparel items, as well, so keep a lookout around the shop!  We are always getting new things in and they are always flying right out!

Hi, ho!  Off to work we go!  I swear, we are working, not just drinking...

Be back soon!

jeanne d'arc living

The latest issue has arrived and it is absolutely stunning, as always!  Hurry in to pick yours up today!  

Or call the shop if you need one mailed to you!  If I lived somewhere that was already chilly, I would be drooling over this wonderful magazine by the fire with my morning coffee.  Instead I will just enjoy our lovely outdoor weather on the back porch with my copy of the latest Jeanne d'Arc.  Here's to beautiful print magazines!

around the shop

We always seem to be getting new stuff in the shop, selling our favorite pieces and getting new ones.  And, of course, we always seem to be rearranging just for fun!  We have decided to stop with our online shopping, but want our out of state readers to know, if you ever see something here that you would like, just email or call the store and we are always willing to ship it to you!  We have new pillows, new Vietri dishes (you are all going to want the new little teapot and biscotti dish!), plenty of pumpkins and new fun gifts and furniture pieces.  Come in and see us or check it out right here...
