I love Thursdays, or "Friday Jr." as my friend calls them. All the anticipation of the weekend ahead, with none of the angst of a Monday - and we are still being productive so...it's kind of the ideal mind-set. Today is extra-nice because I am planning our weekend road trip to...wait for it....EUGENE! I live in Portland, and work on the shop's website. Our fabulous stylistas who work in the shop are all in Eugene, so we communicate online most of the time. And I don't get down to Eugene often because of my bad back which makes traveling very tricky, and until now because we had a teen in the house, and you can't leave them alone for long. And they never want to go with you anyway, lol!
But now it's just the two of us which makes for a more-mobile unit, and my back is doing "ok", and we're only going for the day so...look out Eugene, the Rioses are on their way! PLUS, we get to drive our new car, so it will be a comfy cruise, no doubt - so excited to take it on the road and rock the Pandora app! lol. (Doesn't take much to get this old lady goin'!)
But the shop WILL be exciting! We are celebrating our SWEET 16 this year - the 16th year since we moved to the 5th St. Market. 16 years of glorious fun, fashion, and friends,and we are grateful for every one of them. Lauren will be there with decorations and probably champagne, we're all going to make the shop look festive and beautiful. I promise to take pics and share them with you. The 5th St. Market is SO pretty at Christmas! Lots of fir, pine boughs, garlands, twinkly lights, good coffee, sometimes even carolers. In costume! It's exactly where you want to do your holiday shopping, and believe me there is something for everyone there.
So come join us this weekend, or drop in the shop anytime, do a little holiday shopping, and see our shop all dressed up for a party! Celebrate our 16th anniversary with us, have a sweet treat, and see what's new and fabulous for your holidays!!!! xoxoxo DR
