When The Going Gets Tough The Tough Go Shopping!

"Fashion of the 1930s was directly influenced by the great Wall Street Crash of October 24, 1929 and subsequent Depression. The Autumn, 1930 Sears Catalogue admonished, “Thrift is the spirit of the day. Reckless spending is a thing of the past.” The beginning of the decade saw women sewing more. Clothing was mended and patched before being replaced. Less ready-to-wear garments were purchased, even though styles were dramatically changing."

For a lack of a better word.... Yuck.

Could it really come down to this. I don't even know how to thread a needle without pricking several fingers.

The next few weeks will be harsh for business nationwide, but we will rise above all the spoil and continue to be the happy pink and green mecca of hope we have been for 24 years now. If you are feeling down and out come on in and sit with the sisters and have a laugh.

Laughter is the best medicine. Also it will make you feel better the whole store is on SALE. What a wonderful time to have one.

Hurricane Season or Fall?

Down here in Hurricane alley we are all breathing a sigh of relief over Hanna. She has a mind of her own, Tropical storm to Hurricane and back twice again, she is allegedly skirting the coast of Florida.

Last Mention

We are all obsessed by Michael Phelps. I would name my next child Michael with out hesitation. I have a MP swim cap and goggles. When I swim I pretend to be him and have no shame in admitting it. This is an amazing angle of a picture frame from his 100 meter Butterfly race which set the stage for history. You can view the whole sequence frame by frame at Sports Illusatrated.com

Thank you for a week filled with excitement and surprise.

Four years and counting until London 2012.

No Words Needed

We are speechless.

Finally

Prepare to be astonished. By any standard, the Opening Ceremony in Beijing will surpass any start to any Games in history. The most expensive opening ever was four years ago in Athens, when the Greeks spent a reported $30 million on their torch-lighting rite. The Chinese have surpassed them by a factor of 10. With an estimated $300 million budget, a seemingly never-ending cast of 15,000, and a fireworks display that's rumored to be the biggest in history, the Bird's Nest will redefine Olympic spectacle.

I will be glued to our family room TV to watch to all.

Tomorrow the games begin. Yeah!

Boy Oh Boy!!!

Caden John is C. Orrico's newest friend weighing in at 7lbs 3 oz.

Diana and Michael Perry welcomed their son into our happy world today. Congratulations and job well done. We can not wait to have him in the store for play time with the Orrico girls.
