Mejico

We LOVE unique, local, one of a kind restaurants, and Mejico certainly is that! I just had to tell you all about it. The menu is simple, with classic Mexican dishes, all sounding delicious. In addition to their signature margaritas, which the bartender is happy to doctor up for those really craving some heat, they have added a craft cocktail menu that would compliment any spicy dish (present company included).
In my opinion, the bar has the best seats in the house. The staff is incredibly knowledgeable about the food, drinks and always ready with a recommendation if you are having trouble deciding which yummy dish to try.
They also have an AMAZING happy hour. Monday-Friday 3pm-6pm. Half price drinks and appetizers. They had me at $1 street tacos. I'm going back tomorrow, and maybe the next day... Mejico, welcome to the neighborhood! What are some of your favorite local spots?

Something Old, Something New

Isn't that what people say when you're re-branding? 
Okay, I guess it's traditionally used for weddings, but it IS the perfect mantra for the next, exciting, few months at The Willows! After 18 years, (I was 12 when I opened this store) we are giving ourselves a face-lift, but with less swelling.
 
We are working with the incredibly talented Kitchen Sink Studios to create a brand new website and online store. The designers over at Kitchen Sink are coming up with great ideas and we can't wait to unveil our new online look. In the meantime, keep following our Blog, Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter for the latest updates, sales, events, giveaways, inspiration and plain ol' fun! In fact, if you come in the store and shout "I can't wait for the new website!" we will give you 20% off any regular priced item of apparel. (Okay, okay, you don't have to shout it, just mention this post.) Stay tuned!

On the Road Again

In the last 30 days, we have been on the road for you. In January we shopped Atlanta...Warehouses, The Big Gift Market and Antique Shows! We ventured wherever the taxis would take us. We finally jumped on the bandwagon and downloaded Uber. We froze our tootsies off, but had lots of fun. We were able to take some of our favorite dealers out for dinner and drinks. We thought we had purchased plenty but its going quickly!

Next, we took a trip to the West Coast in our faithful F150 "Buddy". He always gets us where we need to go - whether it's the Rose Bowl, Long Beach or Alameda Flea Market. Grab your girlfriends and hit the road! Who knows what you'll find. So, what are some of your favorite roads trips?
