Dear Friends,

Happy Independence Day! I hope you get a day off to enjoy the holiday at your leisure.

Here at Renee's our Sale is on sale! Through Saturday, July 5 enjoy an extra 25% off all sale items. We will be closed on the 4th, and back on the 5th from 10 am to 4 pm. Bring in your visiting friends and family. Everybody gets the sale prices.

We are rollin' out our new collection as soon as new arrivals cross our doorstep. I've attached photos of our latest items to inspire you. Stop by to see, touch, and try on. It's going to be an extra-special season. I can feel it in my bones.

Sweaters to transition into fall: autumn colors but lightweight enough to wear now.

Reminiscent of your childhood, new vintage arrivals are here from the local line Sunday Rose.

Snap skirts handmade in Portland with love! These are one-size-fits-all snap around skirts that are extremely flattering. At 19 1/2 inches long, the non wrinkle skirt is great for travel.

"I have designed this skirt to change with the beautiful female form," says designer Erin McLeod. "Just snap it on to whatever size you are that day." Easy! There are twelve different prints to choose from.

Just in yesterday: Eileen Fisher Collection. You won't want to miss this exciting group of refined casual clothing you'll just love to wear.

Can this year's clothing get any more fun?

Dear Friends,
This spring and summer the clothing at Renee's has been remarkable. Renee's is looking light and bright, and the selection in-store is looking downright rosy! I don't remember a spring and summer quite like this one. Maybe it's me. I'm feeling all light-hearted and excited. The older I get, the better I feel. All I can say is, it's never too late.

But people, look at this clothing that came in today. What a cute dress! Double layered, this dress comes as a set, and either piece can be worn on its own or with something else. Polka dots and houndstooth crinkle cotton. Cotton! Polka dots! Houndstooth! Khaki and black!




Here are more photos of today's arrivals...

Tie top: black polka dots on tan background

Tie up the fabric (above), or keep it loose and flowy. Either way, the Tie Top is fun.



Wear this button front sleeveless tunic (above) with leggings, or think of it as a dress. Put a top under it and wear it like a vest with crop pants. The possibilities are endless.

Stay tuned for more photos of new arrivals. Remember Sunday Rose? The designer lives in Marysville, and the seamstress lives in Everett. You can hardly get more local. I'll highlight our latest arrivals soon.

But you really must come in and look at everything from Sunday Rose. Feel the hand-chosen fabrics. Peek at the stellar stitching. Notice the attention to detail. Even if the vintage feel and oversized styles aren't your cup of tea, you can appreciate the care and thought these two talented women have put into their creations. And no two pieces are quite the same.

Finally, can I just tell you that you are the most wonderful blessing? Thank you for continuing to support your local boutique. You are the engine that keeps us going, and your repeat visits and word of mouth referrals are the grease. You make our work a joy. From the bottom of my heart, thank you!

Be back soon!

Sending love,

Renee

Hold Me Accountable

Dear Friends,

There have been times at Renee's when I have ah-ha moments. I had this recurring one recently: Choose what I love. Seems obvious, doesn't it?

Sometimes I get sidetracked. I've tested some things in part to try to please everyone. In this case, Abraham Lincoln's words bear repeating: "...you can't please all of the people all of the time." Hold me accountable. We'll all be better off.

I am oozing with enthusiasm for a talented new Seattle-based sterling silver jewelry designer I recently discovered. I want to shout about her from the rooftop!

I just love her simple, timeless jewelry! I love the way her circles float in the fancy chains she uses. I love how each circle is hand-hammered. I love the quality and thickness of the metal she uses.

Every piece of jewelry is individually, painstakingly handcrafted by her from gems, silver and gold she personally selects. She listens to podcasts while she works (I love my podcasts, too!). Her bracelets, necklaces and earrings come from the finest Thai and Balinese silver, pearls and semi-precious stones.

She specializes in an organic style of fine wire hand-wrapping, making each piece unique in style and shape. You'll never meet another person with a piece exactly like the one you're wearing.

This jewelry is understated and elegant, versatile and wearable, beautiful and timeless. It feels good, it's easy to wear, and you can wear it every day.

I am authentically behind this line. After all, I bought some earrings for myself before I contacted the artist. Combine that authenticity with my passion for finding and supporting successful, local, grassroots businesses, and I'm in heaven.

Please come in soon to take a look at this new jewelry. And while you are here, take advantage of the sale we are having on selected spring items.

Thank you for your support! You are allowing me to do what I love. For that, I am truly grateful!

Sending love,

Renee
