Meet me in Chicago!

This is the one time of year that I really look forward to. I get spend 5 lovely days with my best friend and store owner of The Perfect Dress of Salisbury in the windy city for shopping, dining and endless laughter. We have several "must do" on our list for Chicago in no particular order......Rosebud on Rush, Giordano's for pizza, Zanies Comedy Club for some laughs and Greek Island's.....Opa!

Did I happen to mention that we were actually in Chicago for work? This year I took Julie and Liane to assist with the selecting gowns and the opportunity to experience the market. Julie is a fashion major so this was right up her alley. It was a blast!













Meg of MEG jewelry is always eager to spread some cheer. We love her, Rod (her husband) and oh, of course....... her fabulous jewelry!

Beach Bride

My youngest sister Jennifer and Keith tied the knot August 5th on the beach in Hilton Head Island. The beautiful bride is wearing an ivory silk gown and MEG jewelry.

Their first choice of a wedding date was rained out....twice. They ended up having such great weather on the day they actually got married, no one noticed the groom wearing his ring on the wrong hand!

Letting go.....

Ok, so I know that no one really likes change. I am usually one that looks at the glass half full and I am typically really excited for what the future holds. However, with this new change I just think it's easier said than done. Brenda who has been with me since day one....is retiring. She has been a constant in my daily life for the past 4 years. A yen to my yang. Not only will I truly miss working with Brenda our customers will miss her as well. I am sure that she will float around in the background because, I don't think that I can actually ever let her go! Thank you, Brenda for all of your hard work. In her I have found a co-worker for years and a friend for life.
