Latest Arrivals: Fidji Shoes and Summer Dresses

Grandma's memorial service in Ohio.

Dear friends,

Thank you for your condolences, kind comments, and words of comfort regarding my grandmother's influence in my life and her recent passing. Fortunately I was able to attend her touching memorial service in Ohio last weekend. I took time to visit with family and friends that I had not seen for a few years. I extended your sympathies to them; what a blessing all of you are!

When I returned I was greeted with many new arrivals in the store! I've taken a few photos to show you.

Fidji denim-colored shoe.

Fidji metallic brown sandal.

Because of your fantastic response to Fidji shoes, we brought in two new styles. Either style would look great with jeans or skirts and dresses. We've heard you: Fidji are the most comfortable shoes you've worn. Come in now to try them on, when all sizes are in stock.

Black Halo pebble crepe dress.

Black Halo dresses are simply beautiful. I present you with our first style (above)! I am so excited to have this dress line in the shop. The quality and workmanship is top notch. I could hardly wait to see it when I returned to the store yesterday. Need a little black dress? Try this one! It's featured in our window today.

Wind River dress and cardigan.

Wind River offered a beautiful blue and green print dress and skirt, and I couldn't pass up either of them. I ordered both the dress AnD a long skirt because the color was so pretty. I know you don't like to show your arms, so I also ordered cardigan sweaters to match! :)

Nomadic Traders dress and cardigan.

Here is a new printed dress from Nomadic Traders, again with a coordinating sweater to cover your arms...

Cut Loose teal green dress and cardigan.

This Cut Loose silk dress and matching cardigan are a stunning teal color. The big sash is flattering. The jewelry matches the dress perfectly. This one is also in the window today.

Elana Kattan long tropical dress.

Need a dress for a beach wedding? Here are two stunning printed summer dresses from Elana Kattan.

Elana Kattan knee-length dress and shawl.

I am so excited that dresses and skirts are back "in." They are the hit of the season. Yay! We think the pendulum is swinging toward femininity and dressing "up" a little bit more, right along with the improving economy.  Do you notice changes, either in the economy or in the way you (and others) are dressing?

Come in soon to check out the newest arrivals. We look forward to welcoming you when you drop in.

With love,

Renee

Well, besides noticing the crocuses peaking out of the ground, you can check out the new arrivals at Renee's to rest assured that spring is just around the corner.

Last week we received bling full length and cute capri jeans from a Seattle-based company called Zenim.



































Nic + Zoe showed up with my favorite feminine sweater for spring, which I call "pink fluff."




















They also produced beautiful sweaters and coats in rich coral colors, and light-weight pants for spring.




















Other bright colors have been arriving daily: kiwi greens, sky blues, daffodil yellows, cotton candy pinks, bright turquoises, and more.

Last week on my buying trip for Renee's I spied cute, inexpensive jewelry and lightweight colorful spring scarves. Fun and inspirational, these items are sure to get you through the rest of our winter.

While at market I also ordered: jeans from Silver, Zenim and Dish; cotton sweaters from Mermaid; knit tops from Prairie Cotton and Cut Loose; a new, wide selection of Hobo handbags; and bold print dresses from Elana Kattan.

Best of all, I am so excited about a new, cute Jammie line called Munki Munki! You will see why I am so excited when you take a look here.

As always, let me know if you are looking for particular brands, styles or fabrics. When you discover new finds on your journey, clue me in on those, too. You are always the best source of my buying inspiration!

Warmly,
Renee
