Hey everyone,
Three things we’d like to share with our favorite Peonistas this week…
1. Woo hoo, yay, woot! Consignor and customer Kim Rogala won our “beat the heat” contest. Kim gets a $25 gift certificate to Peonies. Congrats, Kim, on a very funny answer, posted on our Facebook page.
2. No one is a loser at Peonies. If you posted a comment, you get 10% off. Anything in the shop. Come on in, and show us where you posted an answer and ka-ching, you win too.
3. Laurel’s birthday is Saturday. Ready for more fun? The person who comes closest to naming the exact time of day Laurel was born will be the proud recipient of a $25 gift certificate. Leave your comments here (below) or post it on Facebook.
Yes, it’s always fun at Peonies. Did we mention there’s lots of good stuff in the shop? Come in, come in. Can’t wait to see you this week.

How did you manage to survive through the heat wave? Ice cold washcloths? Margaritas? Trip to the Arctic? {Best answer posted below by Friday wins a $25 gift certificate to Peonies. Tip: funny is good}.
Lucky for us, the air conditioner works at Peonies —and so the 97° sun-storm didn’t keep us from putting out gobs of new stuff (small sampling below). There’s lots to keep you cool and sooooo much Lilly Pulitzer we just don’t know what to do with it all.
See you soon? Hope so!

Tuesday, June 22nd, 2010“Once a woman finds her perfect coral,” says designer Bobbie Brown, on The StyleList, “she’ll realize how modern it is and how a pop of color helps to instantly brighten the face.” Come into Peonies and get your coral on. What treasure will you find this week at Peonies? More than 200 items; tempting, right?

Hello, Peonistas! This week, in celebration of Peonies’ birthday of 1 year, add a zero and take 10% off anything in the shop, today through Saturday. A nice little unexpected bonus, right? That applies to everything in the store, everything.
Last night as we were consigning new items, including some vintage Lilly that made us want to have an old fashioned picnic, we talked about how important it is to make time for yourself every single day — to refresh and rejuvenate. So today, take a little time for you even if it’s just a few minutes. Notice your garden (or not, whichever makes you feel better!), take a walk, call a friend, get a mani/pedi, sip a glass of lemonade or mix up a margarita. Whatever you do, enjoy enjoy enjoy this beautiful day. ~ Pam and Laurel
PS Sorry no descriptions with photos. Forgot the list at the shop again. UGH.

Hard to believe, but it was just a year ago that we first opened Peonies (this photo was taken the day we set up the garment racks, and that is another story—ay ay ay). We want to pause today to thank each and every one of you. It is only with your support that our little business is still in business and it’s you, our customers and consignors…peonistas…who make it all worthwhile. There is nothing we love more than helping you find great finds and helping you find a new home for your special stuff.
This week, our namesake is literally blooming everywhere around the Connecticut shoreline. Each time you see a beautiful peony, please think of us and the beautiful blooms we have waiting here for you each and every week. If you like what we’re all about, please don’t keep us a secret.
With gratitude,
~ Pam and Laurel
