The idea for doing a trunk show at the shop has been kicking around ever since we opened. We have this great little retail space literally in the “backroom” that has been kind of screaming for it, but for this reason or that (…we had the Farmstore back there for a while and we kinda like […]
Courtney chimes in on wearing fishnets to our holiday party. Looking to jazz up that holiday outfit? Check out what our hosiery expert has to say! Living in Vermont, I don’t get the opportunity to dress up as much as I’d like. When I get a party invitation, my first thought is “Oh goody- what […]
When the ability to take two days off in a row matched a date that my favorite rock band was scheduled to play in Philadelphia, I made the effort to get out of Vermont. It’s not an easy place for me to leave. The drive was eventful given the rainstorm in New Jersey which […]
We’re on the brink of another holiday season with Thanksgiving just a week away – yikes! The UPS guy is rolling in boxes daily and we are re-arranging the shop to make room for extra sleepwear and holiday items – can you say red bras, holly soaps, and pajamas every which way? We’re closed on […]

Race for the Cure is this weekend in Manchester and for the third year in a row, Courtney and I will be at our table in the sponsorship area. This “area” used to be a tent, but this year the event will be at the Riley Rink and I found out yesterday that the sponsor […]
It all started back on February 2nd when I received an email from Dina Janis, the Executive Director of the Dorset Theatre Festival: Hi Joy- We are doing a Pulitzer Prize winning play this summer called Intimate Apparel by Lynn Nottage.
