Rah! Rah! Rah!

You asked for it...so here it is. Here are a few of the cheer things that we have at the shop.

We try to order stuff for our cheerleaders every chance we get...bags, frames, scrapbooks, pillow cases and fashion accessories are only a few of the cheer-themed gifts that show up from time to time at the shop.

Keep watching the blog or come on by the shop to see what else we might be getting in!

This is a 'memory box'. I cheered for nine years, so I know how important it is to keep all of those ribbons, newspaper clippings, photos, tickets, name tags, etc. in one place so that when you want to reminisce, you aren't forced to search all over the house for them.

This is a great and inexpensive gift! It works as a doorknob hanger, a wall hanging, a locker decoration....really, whatever you want it to be!

A cork board is another great way to keep those memories all in one place.

Frames, of course.

and every cheerleader needs her bag!

This is my FAVORITE!

The following bags aren't specifically for a cheerleader - but can't you just see them with the girl's name or the team's name embroidered on them? So cute!

A Birthday Sale

As always...July is my birth-month and we like to celebrate the whole month. So...starting this Friday we'll be having a sale!

Select Crocs and Sanrio and all of our swimwear. Since we just got back from Market and restocking and revamping our baby section - we'll also have some of our baby things from past seasons on sale! You never know what we'll have on sale in the weeks to come between now and the end of the month. Check the shop and the blog regularly...I'll be posting pictures and more details!

Happy 4th!

Happy 4th of July everyone!
I hope everyone takes a moment to think of those who risked it all to give us the freedoms we have today...

Announcement...

So, as many of you know...SETH AND I ARE ENGAGED!

but I figure I'll post the whole story for those who want to read about it and, really, just for journal-ings sake...and for any of you that I haven't gotten around to telling(there are just so many important people to tell!)...the grapevine does work pretty fast in this town!

Saturday June 21st I went out to hang out with my girlfriends, MaryJo and Allison, in Murfreesboro. We shopped, we ate at Macaroni Grill and we went to Kay's Jewelry, just being silly, for me to try on rings. I was imagining that I might get engaged in a few months or something and that when that moment came, MaryJo could tell him exactly the ring I needed and there would be no worries on his part about choosing a ring.

Around that same time, back in McMinnville, Seth was at my house talking to my parents and my Aunt Patsy, who just happened to be there too, and getting their permission to ask me to marry him...I had no idea about this.

So, when I got back to town around 10:30 Seth called and asked if I'd like to take a walk downtown. We take late-night walks downtown a lot so I didn't think anything about it...so I said ok.

So after hurrying through our usual route (I thought he was acting funny) we ended our walk at the Park Theatre where he pulled out a RING POP and asked me the question! It was perfect! I've never been the schmoopy romantic type and the thought of anybody getting down on one knee just struck me as kind of odd...and he knew that about me and that the Ring Pop was my kind of thing and would make me laugh...so he didn't do anything but pull out the ring pop and say "do you want to marry me?" and that was it...PERFECT! I said yes, of course...and here is a picture of my original engagement ring! Cherry, of course, because it's classic, like me...lol!

Turns out when my grandmother died several years ago, she left behind a diamond engagement ring! My brother had been keeping it for when I got engaged

and so, now, I have it! We got it cleaned (it's an old ring), repaired (once again, old ring, and had been worn out just a little), and resized; and today I got it back from the jewelry store...Yay!

I'll keep you all posted on wedding details...I have no idea how I will limit the guest list...there are so many people in town that I love and want to share the BIG DAY with...any ideas? I might start a wedding blog too...watch for that...you know me, I'm bloggy!

Bedazzled

We got in these cute new shirts that will make a great inexpensive gift for that special little girl in your life. This company uses nailheads for their embellishments...just another alternative to rinestones.
We especially love the 'big sister' shirt - a nice shirt for those older big sisters that feel too old for the Adorable Original ones. The horse ones are always nice too because all little girls love horses right now!

Miss Lilly

Proud new Auntie (actually cousin, but Auntie sounds so much better!) Mitzi (in the photo above) came in yesterday to show us pictures of the beautiful Lilly! These are some cell phone pictures that she sent me so that I could show her off too! In the pictures below, she's lying on a Groovy Girl pillow from the shop and her blue friend there is from our Horton Hears a Who collection of toys and plush! Doesn't Lilly have such a personality here?

Lilly says: "Nice to meet you Horton"
Lilly says: " I don't really know about you, mister"
Lilly says: "I'm tired of this Horton guy..maybe if I ignore him he'll go away"

Stars and Stripes

Gracie came in the shop today looking adorable, as always. She was wearing her new 4th of July outfit from our shop and I just thought I'd show all of you. We still have a couple of these super cute (and comfortable) short sets left...there's still one day until the 4th and two until the county's 4th/bicentennial celebration! Hurry in!

And we have the matching hairbows too!
