I heart PAPER!

Some may or may not know, but I have a PAPER problem.  I heart pretty paper!  Yesterday, we got two shipments in, but I am only going to share one at a time, as they are worthy of their own spotlight.
I saw these Creative Cats, a.k.a. Banquet Atelier & Workshop,  at the NYIGF, last August,for the first time.  I have been admiring their work long before that( paper problem), and reached out to them, shortly after Christmas.  The cards are just beautiful and saturated with color; I have never seen such rich printing.  I am loving their  packages of tattoos for kiddos too.  Ten in a package, with To: and From: printed on the back!  Awesome.  Speaking of HEART, I am hearting my windows!  They are almost done... Come SEE, Nan

Happy Monday!

Have a great week... It is going to be a great one, Nan

Firefly Friday

Happy Friday All!  I am loving the return of Winter, and have a little zip in my step for sure.   I have so much going on, that I feel like I have nothing going on... Weird.  Thomasville has a lot on Tap this weekend! The highlight is definitely Music and Drama Troupe,celebrating their 40th Anniversary, with
a BIG TIME, BIG TOP Celebration this Saturday.  They have Cirque du Soleil dancers coming, how amazing is that!  I think there are still tickets available too.  Go here for more info.  I have just returned from Market, and I have found lots of "prettys", as my late grandmother, "Weezie" would say.  Her birthday would have been this week; She was BIG TIME amazing, and a definitely a  TOP ACT!  I am also celebrating 40(again) on Sunday.  I really wanted to go fishing for my BDAY, but it would be a little chilly... Oyster Roast will have to do! YUM.  Alright, enough chatter... Please come by Firefly today, and see our windows and welcome my newest addition to Firefly, Robyn Hill.  I am so excited about her creative talents, and smittened with her calm, thoughtful personality.  She did the windows yesterday and she also does this.  Needless to say, I feel like a proud peacock, and I think it is an indicator of creative things to come. HIP HIP HOORAY! We also got new EEBOO in and lots of NEW, creative, products there.

OUR CALENDAR of EVENTS, so far... We will be adding a lot more, so stay tuned.

Monday, February 11th at Studio 209, AMY FLURRY, of Recipe for Press, will be returning for a discussion and individual sessions.  Call the store for details. 229-226-6363 or email me nanmyers(at)rose(dot)net .

MARCH- 7,8,9- Kayce Hughes Trunk Show-  perfect opportunity to try on samples and receive
long before Easter.  The perfect place for an EASTER dress in my opinion.

Firefly Friday

My most popular PIN, who knew?!

Hello Friends.  Just a moment of your time, and a moment of mine, as I drink BLACK coffee for the fourth day.  It seems like an eternity,for real.  I'm doing this for a reminder, minus the crossfit, and it has been fine.  I'm down with it, but mess with my coffee-Grrr.  Just for the record, I only put skim organic milk in it anyway, but I get it.  Dairy is Dairy.  They ( these healthy people) also are very dogmatic about "not getting on scale", because it is not "about that".  Well, POO "on that".  It is a HUGE incentive for me, and helps me stay on it, so there- VAIN, shallow me.  Yes, I have lost some  poundage already:) So what do you have on TAP this weekend? It is FIRST Friday Downtown, and we are not open(sorry), BUT I encourage y'all to come down. If I didn't LIVE at my store already, then I would walk my kiddos down, meander, stop at my favorite,former( no alcohol on the whole30) waterhole, buy the boys a cupcake here, and then probably wind up at THE Plaza for some oysters and a greek salad.  Instead, we are heading to Tally after school, to go see our friend, John Gleason's ART show- Winter Vacation.  He is very talented, and he and his wife are two of my favorite people.   His opening is tonight at 621 Gallery.  Congratulations John! I know you have been working so hard on this. We are going to pop in on our friends at The Outpost and The Grain.  Then we will probably stop at Southern Seafood for fish and head home, so that I can make a yummy dinner for Greg, who is traveling today and will be home early evening.

* COME CHECK OUT at FIREFLY: We just did inventory and have added lots of NEW things to the Sale Closet and Christmas Sale Table.

*This was my most popular PIN this week.  I think that is so interesting what people react to! Don't you?!

*Teared up when I read such SWEETNESS in the Thomasville Center of the Arts newsletter, and still do, as I type this... Thanks Michele! I think it affected me so, because you, my friend, have painted this town with passion and creativity; You elevate everything you touch, and Thomasville is better for it!

For my GRAND Friday Finale, I will be taking down our crispy, brittle Christmas Tree. OH Boy:)

Have a great Weekend, Nan

Happy New Year and BIG LOVE.

I am not much for New Year's Resolutions, but I am all for AWARENESS, and being mindful and present in the moment. I think that is what a New Year's Resolution means to me.   Today, I officially OWN Firefly, which is  SO exciting and a BIG deal to me.  A friend pointed out that most people already assumed that,so no biggie.  Yes, I get that too, as I certainly have been the face and had lots of flexibility, but at the end of the day, not mine.  I definitely have a heightened, renewed outlook and I am looking forward to that fresh start that every NEW YEAR brings, but EVEN MORE SO!  I also started this today, as I need to be sharper than ever, and I have felt partly cloudy for the past couple of months.  I think it's an addition vs. a subtraction, and I am sure it will not be easy, but it is only for 30 days.  I thought about starting it a few days ago, but the muffaletta bread from Central Grocery, and Marco Polo Cheese in my fridge could not be abandoned and I am also a little cheap!  Cliche, as starting today is, it had to be done. Anyway, I will keep you posted on that! Thanks for a great 2012 at Firefly and I can't wait to put my whole heart mark on it in 2013!

Lots of BIG LOVE and appreciation, Nan
