Crazy for Jewels and Scarves~

What a great opportunity to highlight some of our 'prettiest' items for you~

We're all about the 'cluster' look, and I search high and low to find it for you~

And - soft, beautiful, long scarves - they're for summer, too!

Currently our most popular scarf (available in this color), its soft/airy weave is so comfortable. ($8.95 -note that all jewelry and scarves shown today will be 20% off this Fri/Sat, July 16-17).

This was our most popular scarf, until it was bumped into second place. Soft, feel-good jersey knit. (72", in this color combo, $9.95). Our 60" poly scarves are an ongoing hit. In prints and colors to spice up any outfit or bag. ($4.95).

Handmade resin focals on 20" bead chains ($8.95).

Easy to wear bracelets ($4.95 to $18.95). A bride purchased the bracelets shown on the far left for all of her bridesmaids -- for under $30!

Our brooch collection is included, of course~

Look over our secondhand vintage pieces (most $1-$3, and up to $9.95).Sassy Cass pieces are included in the 20% off sale, too? Yes!A good time to peruse her handmade creations~Rhinestones - considered a favorite of mine, if I had to choose~And, clusters, of course. We saw it all over PARIS in April~Along with white scarves - wear one everyday, with anything. This one is chiffon ($4.95), but there are other styles in white, too~

It's a fun time! Five downtown secondhand shops will be open, along with all the other retail shops (our lower PORCH level is closed to prep for the Aug 3-8 Market). If you can't make it over, let me know if you'd like to get the 20% off a scarf or piece of jewelry, too, OK? $2.95 ships it directly to you! theporch@bwig.net, or call 763 684-1254.

Great energy at our APRIL Market~

It was a 'scarf party' in the shop yesterday~

A new batch of our scarves arrived, and everyone had a great time looking, trying, and choosing~

(Linda, Bonnie & Mary)

Colors~patterns~styles~which to choose? Match what I'm wearing today, and get another to wear on Easter? What better way to be so 'French'? It's possible - our 12x60" scarves are only $4.95~

(Mary & Nancy 'Nancy said she was happy to find cute scarves...')

All styled and smiling, everyone loves what a new scarf does for their outfit~ Scarves will be a wardrobe staple while in Paris, and they're on my French shopping list, for sure~
Then, Alice came in, sporting the posey hat that Mom (Janelle) found here earlier. We carry a fun, handmade, well-priced line of stuff for babies and little ones~

And, Annemarie, working with the new scarves- spots Dani's awesome shoes, so we had shoe fun, too! Spring is definitely in the air here, and we love it when you have a good time! Thank you~TERESA

Known for Our Scarves

Scarves and pashminas are commanding alot of attention here lately. I mix some 'new' things - like scarves, jewelry and some new home/garden decor, in and among the old stuff here.

These 'cashmere feel' mufflers are $7.95, measure about 12x60", and come in black, lime, orange, brown, gray, blue, camel, and a beautiful gold/olive.
We have a great selection of pashminas, in several color and style choices. Left to right: the circles are new this year, the all-over paisley more subtle, and, but of course - animal prints.

Most of the styles include gorgeous paisleys~

Our pashminas range from 60-100% pure cashmere. Known for their soft fringe, they are priced from $17.95-$24.95.

Four colors with a peek of metallic threads in the stripes.

I bought my first pashmina in Paris, about 10 years ago. The stylish way of wearing that color around your neck or shoulders was hot there, long before it became commonplace here. In fact, scarves are hot - all the time, in France. When I return from France, you'll find me wearing scarves everyday for a few weeks after I return~then what happens?
Great quality, these subtle paisleys come in in gray/black, rich camel/brown, red/black, and brown/brown; $17.95

We have a great supply~
Great as furniture shawls, too - most measure about 30x72"

Our popular/all year 12x60" poly scarves; change-up an outfit for $4.95

Scarves are an easy gift to drop in the mail~
Super-soft 100% cashmere
Black/white-gray, red, and camel animal print - these measure smaller than the 30x72", $24.95

Thank you for taking the 'scarf tour' in the Atelier today~!

Scarves, models and great gals

We meet the best people here! I love it!
Friday afternoon shoppers/friends, trying on scarves in the Atelier yesterday, turned into impromptu fun~
Which color looks best on me? Then, have you tried wearing it this way?
Pretty soon, I'm hearing 'where did you get that cute jacket'?
Eh voila~ camaraderie and laughs among two pair of friends who hadn't met until today.
Thank you for the photo op - you're all great!

(Side note: these lightweight, fringed pashminas are only $7.95; in black, brown, green, orange, ivory and burgundy. We plan to stock these, and many more pashmina styles and mufflers throughout the coming months.)
