Very important information!

I'm so excited, we have more flip flops...these are even more special...they say Love, faith and hope...the epitome of Susan Major! (just read her archives on her blog, you'll see for yourself!)

So our last flip flop project was so successful! I mean I see them everywhere! Did I mention we raised over $1000, our goal was that and we (of course, thanks to Laura) exceeded it! So that money went to Jennifer Tom of Positively pink packages, but this time, all proceeds will go to Susan Major! You can buy these flip flops at the community center, Skaneateles Jewelers and of course Bijou!! PLUS..... ONE MORE THING....TIM GREEN is donating a character name for his next book!!! WHAT DOES THAT MEAN YOU SAY??? Well it's very simple, you pay $10 for a raffle ticket, and write your kids name, your name, your mother or fathers' name and we run the raffle for 1 month, (ending August 1st) on that day we pull a name from the box and whoever is the winner will get that name as one of his characters in his next kids novel...Football frenzy is the current name! Seriously how cool would that be to open a book and see a name you know, to read along and see where your character goes?? (read the poster at the top to see all the places where you can purchase raffles!!)

NOW I DON'T WANT YOU TO FORGET........


My good friend Shelly (my fairy godmother in decorating Bijou) is having an old fashioned tag sale at her studio! You should make it a point to come down, there will be so many goodies...She has amazing connections and the whole community is pulling together for some really cool and affordable priced gems! (Plus I just read, there will be a psychic there, how fun!!!) THE FLIP FLOPS AND RAFFLE TICKETS WILL BE SOLD AT THIS EVENT!

(I couldn't say it better than Laura Ponticello from Laura's book list...)

Susan Major always has a smile on her face, with lipstick that typically coordinates with her outfit; but it's her inner beauty that radiates. Founder of Sacred Mornings for Moms and Our Joyful Journeys, Susan has ignited many women to believe in a better day, nourish their spiritual side and to think about giving back to others. I have witnessed firsthand Susan's ability to sow seeds of hope for others. Many women have stopped me with tears in their eyes to tell me how Susan has positively impacted their life; now that circle of love that she creates is the ripple in the pond that we all feel. At age 39, Susan was recently diagnosed with stage 3 breast cancer That's why the community is coming together, especially Bijou Salon, www.bijousalon.net to help raise awareness.

100% of the proceeds of every flip flop purchase will directly support Susan in her road to better health. Flips are stylish, various sizes and inscribed with words "Love, Faith and Hope".
