…just arrived at Milly & Grace today!
In case you can’t make out what they say:
– To My Lovey, Everything is as it should be – don’t you agree? We could not have planned it better. I would do it all again in a second and I would not change a thing!
– Your day will go the way the corners of your mouth turn. (Isn’t that a great reminder??!!)
Call us at 508.901.5051 to order!
When I opened up Milly & Grace, I surprised myself at how much I love the creative side of the job. My background and education had been more “business/numbers focused”. I knew I would enjoy the buying & the book keeping side of the job, but what I find most fulfilling is merchandising! Some people paint, some write… I move clothes around. So, more often than not I like to switch things up and move merchandise around. This past week I was inspired to change up the clothing!!
Here is a quick peek of the newly merchandised clothes:
^^We’re getting ready for the 4th of July!
^^We have lots of fun bright colors, which are so perfect for summer!
^^We got in more Ruana colors!!
^^But, don’t worry, we still have lots of pieces in a soft color palette too!
^^And NEW up at the register are these cute hair ties handmade by one of our cutest customers, Caroline. You know how most of these hair ties have frayed edges after a couple uses?? Well, Caroline made sure to finish off every one so fraying wouldn’t happen!
We hope you’ll stop by to say hi and see the new changes in person!
A couple of months ago, I picked up the phone and made a call to a guy in Virginia who I’d never met. I asked him if he would be interested in moving to Nantucket to be Milly & Grace’s Director of E-Commerce & Brand Development. It only took 2 weeks to seal the deal and then 2 weeks after that Tim and his husband Santi packed up and moved up to Nantucket. Moving to a little island 30 miles out to sea is no easy transition and I was so touched by Tim’s willingness to take a chance on me & the store, that I wanted to throw them a little party to welcome them!
The dessert table! Our mom Patty is known for her immaculate party planning skills (She is also sometimes known as “crazy crazy matchy matchy party lady”) and she helped with the design. And Caroline did too! Allison, Caroline & I just try to keep up and hope that she rubs off on us!!
Introducing Santi & Tim!
Tim & his bevy of Ott girls!
Tim is known for always sporting a bow tie with his perfectly coordinated outfits. (We think he might have been an Ott in a past life). So that became our party inspiration and we even had bow tie cupcake toppers made!
The Party details!! Of course I had to get the 100th Anniversary Blue Ball Heritage Jars to match our color theme! You can find them here!
Party Shots: Friends & Fun!
Courtney & Jason were impressing us with their dance moves as the night went on!
Tim & Santi have only been on Nantucket for a couple of months but they are settling in quite nicely! I think they may know more people than I do! This is mostly attributed to the fact that they both have the biggest hearts and the most infectious dispositions. When you meet these guys you can’t help but want to get to know them! Welcome Tim & Santi! We are so happy you are here!
