The angels among us

I am a girl who is blessed in oh so many ways - and the one which I'll share with you today is that I very rarely get a headache.  A few weeks ago my friend Dee (she lives above the store and also helps me out by minding the store sometimes) came home from work early with a migraine.  As she headed upstairs with a wince of pain on her face I silently counted my blessings that I've never experienced one of those God awful things.  So when I started to get a headache late Sunday morning it took me by surprise - while I was at the store it hurt so much that I became nauseous.  Just around the time I was feeling my absolute worst a woman came into the store.  She really took her time looking and reading everything (I love when people do that - I feel like people who run through the store just 'don't get it' - there's too much great stuff to read!).   As she was checking out her items we got into a bit of a discussion and I mentioned the headache I was dealing with and she said "Can you do something for me?  Sit here" and she grabbed the chair at the desk.  As it turns out, she's a massage therapist and head, neck and shoulder pain is her specialty.  Does life get any better for me?  She worked on me for a few minutes, paid for her merchandise, placed a $10 bill in my Susan G. Komen 3-Day Breast Cancer Walk donation box and proceeded to walk out.  Her name was Linda.  My headache was gone within 10 minutes of her leaving.

 

As the nauseous feeling subsided and I was finally able to eat my lunch I pondered as to whether Linda might have simply vanished after she walked out my door - poof!  No matter, I had a smile on my face as I looked upward and said 'Thank You.'  (yes, this actually happend this past Sunday!)

New artists at La Muse!
 
We've got some fun new artists that have just arrived at the store:
 

Hanni Yothers of Pellston, MI  - Hanni's Word & Symbol pendants and One World-One Word necklaces

are sure to be a hit.  Each necklace is hand cut, crafted and etched with great ideas to express your individuality.  At a price point between $27-$33 these sterling silver necklaces are sure to be given again and again.

 

Lisa Glaser of St. Petersberg, FL - Lisa's whimsical beach buddies put such a big smile on my face when I saw them that I just had to have them in my store.  They greet people right as they walk in and can't help but bring a smile.  My dog, Lemieux, recently gave one to her best friend, Kylie, with a note that said "See You In The Surf."  (ok, it was really me giving it to Kylie's mom)

 
Nicole Engblom of Myrtle Beach, SC - Looking for the perfect housewarming or hostess gift?  You have got to check out Nicole's bright, colorful, fun and functional serving bowls and dishes.  Her work has themes that include dog lovers, martini lovers, golf lovers, turtle lovers, heart lovers - and lovers of all the lovers. Her line of 3-D serving bowls will definitely envoke a "Wow, that's really cool" from the recipient.

Ireland
 
For those of you that took the time to give me some great advice about where to go/what to do in Ireland - thanks so much!  Now it's my turn to share.

Here are a couple of tidbits for your next visit:  1.  If you need to do any grocery shopping be sure to bring your own bags.  They DO NOT give you grocery bags, you have to buy them.  Now how's that for some green ingenuity!  2.  The least expensive place to purchase souvenirs is at the airport when you leave.  They have all the fav Waterford, Guinness and Trinity College gifts without the VAT!  No paperwork and less hauling time.
