Hi friends, 
Do you take a vacation? I don't remember the last time I did. I definitely can see the appeal of getting away for a few days. We all benefit from rest and a change of pace. Even a change of scenery can be refreshing. 
Well, I'm not going anywhere, but I'll admit that I need a little break from all the classes and events here at the shoppe. So I decided that we will take the month of August off from planned events with a couple exceptions - Thursday morning Kids' Classes and our August Birthday Celebration on Saturday, August 26. I'll be working on a fall lineup of inspiring workshops starting again Labor Day weekend. (I already have a flower bar/arranging workshop booked with LeonaRose Flowers- so excited about that!)
 
All that being said, we are still booking private plant parties for August. Gather at least three friends together and come make one of our plant projects. Learn more here. 
 
Our Semi-Annual Clearance Sale continues with 50-75% off select items. Lots of treasures including home decor, gift items, baby things, and Christmas ornaments. This sale goes through Sunday, July 30, so stop in and scoop up some great gifts. Also included in our sale are $10 off on Clematis and Peonies.
 
And if you are reading this today (Saturday, 7/22), we are celebrating July birthdays, so stop in for a cupcake and a sample of lavender fudge. You can also make lavender sachets at our Make & Take Bar. 
 
Stop in sometime soon. We'd love to see you again. 
Til next time, enjoy the blessings of summer.

A Psalm Summer
Solitude. For as long as I can remember, I have tried to rise early, to be the first one up so I can have a few minutes of quiet before the house fills with morning activity. My intention is always to start my day in God's Word and write a page in my journal, but often I settle in with my phone, scrolling through my social media pages. It bothers me that this has become my default. 

My summer's resolve is to change the default . . .

SUMMER CLASSES
II would like to invite you to join me on July 30, for a special event celebrating the Grand Opening of Yoga with Josette. You may know Jessica McLaughlin (aka Josette) as the maker of lovely jewelry who is often here at the shoppe. She is now teaching private yoga sessions in her personal home studio and is taking new clients. Let's give this small business owner our support, and you'll benefit from a lavender-infused yoga refresh here on the grounds of the shoppe.
