Back from the Show, It's All About Me by Jacqueline Kent

Wow, what a month!  I just got back from the Toronto Gift Show, it's always an amazing experience.  I was personally invited by the CEO of Winwards Silks to be present for the product launch of It's All About Me! by Jacqueline Kent.  I just know in my heart with all of Jaquai's talent that she will be a huge success.  Of all the years I have been in business I've never see anyone with an eye like hers, simply amazing.

August, Midnight Madness Downtown Bowmanville

Hi Everyone,
 
Well we are nearly through July… hard to believe. Where does the time go?
In August we feature “Midnight Madness” here in Bowmanville, Friday August 10th. Lots of “in-store” specials to expect, then I’m off to the Gift Show…

I get soooo excited as you know. I wonder what you would like to see the Village Card and Gift Shoppe carry in-store.

Joan, Village Card and Gift ShoppeLast week I bought a new pair of glasses, you just have to see them totally opposite of what I had!
Also last week I went to see the Million Dollar Quartet, guess who Elvis gave the scarf to… AHHHHH!!!! The fact that I nearly jumped on stage helped. Ha!
Anyway, hop all is well with everyone. Keep cool,

Till next time,
Joan

PS We have fascinators in.
