Coming Soon...

Yes, it has been a long time since my last post but needless to say things are quite hectic.  I just want to make everyone aware to keep posted, my collegiate lines are coming in and my space will be revamped over the next few weeks so stay tuned...

May's Special!!!

May is here and so is our new members only special:
Order any monogrammed item and receive 10% off
Great gift idea for mom, grad, dad and wedding parties!!

 

Also, stop by and check out the specials offered during Family Fesst this weekend.

Bridal & Quinceanera Expo

The expo at D&D Fiestas this Sunday was great!  I met several wonderful customers and vendors that I look forward to working with for events at Poinsett West.  The dresses were fabulous and I would love to own each one!!!  I will be ordering some tiaras for the store since I learned that I need to start carrying those for immediate sale. 

The expo made me miss my hispanic side, the music, food, the culture. After having such a great time Lonnie and I have decided to look into salsa lessons at the Blu Martini for fun.  If anyone would like to join us please contact me or we will see you there..

I can't wait to attend the expo this weekend!!!

STORE ARTICLE

On Friday we finally opened our doors for business.  It  has taken a lot of hard work and dedication to get the store up and running, but it is all worth it in the end.  Over the next week I will be posting several pictures of the before and after of my space so everyone can see the transformation. 

I would like to say thank you to my family and to Lonnie for their help in helping me get ready for the opening, I could not have done this without them.  I can't wait to see everyone at the store and I would like to say thank you, to all my customers,  for your support and patronage. 

Also,I would like to thank Jim Fair from Greer Today.com for the article he did on the store.
