Coat Drive Update

Thanks to everyone who donated a coat to the coat drive! We had such an overwhelming response! So many sweet customers brought in not only gently used but new coats as well! One sweet lady brought in 2 large bags full of coats! We are so impressed and touched by how giving our customers are. You really went the extra mile and we are so appreciative!

We dropped some of the coats off at the school a few days before Christmas. The Vice Principal greeted us with tears in her eyes! She was so amazed with how many coats we had to donate. She immediately started to separate the coats by size. She got on the phone and started to call all the families in need to let them know that a coat was now available for them.

I cannot say "THANKS" enough! The impact you made on a child's life and on their families lives will always be remembered. My husband grew up extremely poor. He said it was always the kindness of strangers that he remembers.

I pray that this coming year we as a community will continue to help others in need. Thank you again! I wish I could give you all a big hug!

Warm and Cozy Coats helps give your love and 15% off one item

Warm and Cozy Coats helps give your LOVE and gets you 15% off one item at
Bags That Fit
My sweet 10yr old daughter was sitting in the office at her elementary school yesterday and overheard a conversation between a little boy and the office staff. The little boy was dressed in a T-shirt and shorts, no coat, gloves, hat or boots. It was freezing yesterday and the office staff asked him why he wasn't dressed warm and where his coat was. The little boy replied that he didn't have any warm clothes nor a coat.

My little girl came home in tears when she retold me this story. She wanted to immediately take action. We put our heads together and came up with a Bags That Fit Coat drive! There are many kids in our own community who are in need of warm clothes this winter.

Touch of Kindness

Cutest customer came in the other day and she left as a new friend. She purchased our most popular long crystal necklace and several of our chunky charm bracelets for Christmas gifts for friends and family. She was so sweet while choosing out exactly the perfect charm and piece of jewelry for each friend.
My mom and I began to gift wrap each piece of jewelry for her as we proceded to chat and get to know each other. She told us that it was the personal touch of friendship, customer service and our beautiful gift wrap that brought her into our boutique and out of the cold and impersonal big box stores. It was so sweet of her to notice our hard work and to choose to support us! It's because of customers like her that we love what we do. We truly enjoy getting to know each of you and are so grateful for your support. This sweet lady just touched my heart and I wanted to share her example of kindess with you. We could all use a little more kindess in our lives.

What are friends for?

Cute Shar came over Saturday night to get ready for a Halloween party. Can you guess what she is? That's right! She's Rainbow Brite's Sprite! (oops! I think I just showed our age! lol). We had so much fun getting her ready! I think we laughed all night! I'm laughing so hard right now as I look at these photos. She's hillarious! I think she'll kill me for putting these photos on the blog!


(Doesn't this pic just make you smile?! LOL!!!)

Many of you know and have visited with Shar while shopping at Bags That Fit. What you don't know is what an amazing person she is! She's a true friend and I love her dearly. She cheers me up when I'm down. She relieves all my anxiety when I'm stressed over the boutique. She's so brave and courageous. She always amazes me with how smart and thoughtful she is. Shar is the person you'd want with you when you're in your lowest of lows and you're highest of highs.

Many people often ask us how our business partnership works. They are often amazed at how well we work together. Sure, we've had our moments when we're upset or frustrated, but we always work things out. That's mainly due to Shar and her ability to forgive me for my shortcomings. :)


(She's hillarious! My kids are still laughing!)

I know this post isn't really anything about our boutique, just some thoughts I wanted to share. At the end of the day, after all the drama, people getting upset with us, issues with vendors, problems in our daily lives, it's so good to know I have a good friend. She's someone I can laugh and cry with. I've learned that, that's what is most important in life. Good friends and family! We're so lucky to have become good friends with so many of our customers. That's what makes our job so fun! Meeting new people and sharing our lives with you. Thank You!

Shar, I am so lucky to have such a good friend like you! I love you tons and tons!
