Where did the summer go?

I cant believe its been so long since I have added a post to the site. Many things have been going on to keep me from the computer, so hopefully no one has given up on me yet.

The shop has actually been busy and we gain more and more recurring customers. It seems once the ladies find my wonderful choice of clothing, they return again and again.

June brought our Antique Walk. Always a stressful time getting ready, but always fun and better yet, we get lots of people from all over the country in the store. If you came, thank you! Hope you will visit us again soon.

I just went to Summer Gift Market in Kansas City a couple weeks ago. I picked up some really fun jewelry, so come in and check it out!

Be sure to check out my etsy shop. Just click on the sidebar to get there. Shop from anywhere in the country! I can only sell my vintage items there, so if you dont see what you want, let me know I can either ship it from the shop or list it on Etsy for you! Thanks so much!

Saspa Tip of the Day!

4 Steps to Staying Organized!

• Reduce clutter: Sort mail immediatly and put it into piles, recycling junk mail and separating bills from personal correspondence.  Also consider paying bills online, and logging on to dmaconsumers.org to reduce junk mail.
• Label: Stow awy seasonal items in labeled clear containers to identify the contents the following year.  With holiday decorations, include a photo of how you decorated that year so you remember your good ideas and create tradtions.
• Clean the computer: Read e-mails once, then delete or save them into folders.  
• Donate Biannually:  Apply the 80/20 percent rule when deciding what to donate. Most people need and use only 20% of their belongings 80% of the time.

SASPA TIP OF THE DAY!

Cleaning your own jewelry is as simple as white vinegar and water! Mix equal amounts of both and soak for just a few minutes! Use a soft cloth or brush to shine.You dont need to spend tight dollars on jewelry cleaner any more. Common household vinegar will do the trick. Treat your vintage jewelry carefully. It is most likely costume and NOT real gold or silver, so treat it with TLC and you will be happy partners for a long time!
