Help from a Friend

Sometimes we just need a little help from a friend. My friend Yvonne unexpectedly stopped by Renee's today, just when I needed her most. As usual, she came bearing items for show and tell. She attends fun sales and likes to find unique items, and then she inspires me with her stories and goodies.
























Today she told me about an event called Ruffles and Rust that she attended in Monroe recently. She found scarves there made of recycled, soft sweaters, and she brought them in to show me. They were beautiful. I will see if I can contact the artist and bring some into the store for you.







Then she told me about a photo she found on a blog she regularly reads. The author went to Paris in September, and she took photos of clothing displayed in store windows. The lastest big thing is layering. And I mean layer upon layer, from leggings under a skirt to scarves upon scarves. As we talked, I became so inspired I said, "Let's do that in Renee's windows!" She worked her magic, and in no time, the windows were sporting new displays of our most recent arrivals.



Thank you, Yvonne!!! The perfect gift on a perfect day from a good friend; there is nothing better.
