Hello again! How is your holiday season shaping up? My hope for you is that you are at peace. You are not overextending yourself. Your expectations are within limits. You are getting enough sleep, exercising, and eating well.
Earlier this month I had a little extra time and energy to bake some holiday treats. Baking used to be a ritual when I was growing up on the farm. Not just at holiday times either. But taking care of a retail business kind of squashed some of the domestic desires. So I decided to give myself permission, leave the clean laundry (overflowing the baskets and getting more wrinkled by the day), and enjoy being in the kitchen last weekend.
Hopefully you can stop by Renee's this Saturday, Dec. 10 when three beautiful, talented, and professional image consultants will be here to give us tips on how to dress to flatter our figures. Their presentation begins at 11 am. We still have a few seats left; please RSVP to reneesclothing@yahoo.com. Refreshments will include slices of pumpkin cream cheese roll and a "knock-off" version of Starbucks delicious Cranberry Bliss bars. Why pay $2.45 each when you can come to Renee's and get one for free?
How is your holiday shopping going? I hope you are finding something for everyone on your list. I put myself in your shoes as I look around the store. If I were to choose anything at Renee's, what would I give my sisters? The jammies (above top and below) from PJ Salvage are at the top of my list. They say "I love you! Enjoy this softness! Treat yourself!" They are comfy and feel-good. My sisters are too frugal to purchase these for themselves. Yet the prices are manageable for me, and taking care of the fabric will be a cinch for these busy mothers who are my sisters.
If you need a gift for someone you love, come in and browse at Renee's. Stop by for our special event on Saturday. And above all, don't forget to give yourself love and care this season just as you take care of others who are important to you.
I look forward to seeing you soon.
Sending love,
Renee
