Summer!

Today is my birthday so I feel a bit nostalgic. When I was growing up, Memorial Day weekend was always the official start of summer. I grew up in the northeastern states so the weather went along with that concept.  Now I've lived in the south my entire adult life including college, and summer seems to start with Spring Break.  In the south, school gets out earlier so families are heading on summer vacations and kids are headed to the pool in early May.  In early August, school begins a new year.  Something about that has never felt quite right. I feel nostalgic for my childhood days of summer lasting from Memorial Day until Labor Day.

Summer is flip flop season, so check out our flops that you can design yourself!  Click here.

Have a wonderful holiday weekend!

Trendy Giving

Earlier this month we began a fundraising campaign where 100% of the profits from our Faith jewelry is donated to BrightPoint for Children, a Christ-centered, child sponsorship organization through which sponsors can provide for the basic needs and education of impoverished children wherever they may live.  BrightPoint enables children to:

•  Receive needed food, clothing, shelter, health care and adult care.
• Attend school and receive a quality education.
• Graduate with a secondary school education.

We introduced two items, hand made by a local jewelry designer.  The “HolyTrinity" bracelet includes a sterling silver cross and heart among three sterling silver beads signifying the Holy Trinity; the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit surrounded by precious stone beads of aurora borealis, czech glass, fire polished crystal, onyx, jade and quartz.

The “Life of Christ” bracelet represents the life of Jesus Christ.  It is handcrafted in sterling silver,   amethyst, onyx, glass and quartz.  It comes in a beautiful gift box with the story printed on the top showing you how to follow the beads in the story.

We will continue fundraising ongoing for this worthwhile charity.

Trendy Watch Giveaway Winner Postponed

Due to technical problems with Blogger (Google) this week, there will be a slight delay in the Trendy Watch Giveaway.  Blogger is in the process of restoring lost blog posts and expects to finish this weekend. As soon as that is completed, we will draw for a winner.  We don't want to miss any entries :)

Trendy Watch Giveaway

Our most popular items at The Trendy Boutique are our Silicone Band Watches. Also known as “jelly” watches, silicone band watches have become increasingly popular in the past couple of years. This is partly due to the success of the movie “The Blind Side”, in which Sandra Bullock wore a white jelly watch in several scenes and in the promotional posters. Also, Oprah featured this type of watch on her “Favorite Things” show. These watches are not only really stylish and fun, but completely affordable. 
 

TheTrendyBoutique.com offers over 100 styles and colors of watches, including round, square, large, small, whimsical, face designs and more. All watches are nickel and lead safe. The best part – all are under $20 and FREE SHIPPING.
