On Sunday February 14th, Sonny Bailey passed away very unexpectdly leaving behind his wife Donna, his 3 children Rebecca Furrow, Michael Bailey, and Janie Gerrish, along with 7 grandchildren. Sonny and Donna spent several years working side by side at their dairy farm in Montville, Maine to provided for there family. Sonny was known for being being a hard worker and never giving up on anything…true determination. And Sonny was always there to lend a hand for anyone in need. So now, it is the Bailey’s time of need. A great time for the community to rally together and help them out.

On February 28th at Unity Elementary School there will be a potluck dinner for Sonny. Donations at the door will be accepted along with please bring a dish to share. Raffle items will be available along with a 50/50 raffle. The start time is at approx 11:00 a.m. It would be great to see everyone come and bring some stories to share throughout the day of Sonny. He was very well known for his sense of humor and his ability for a great conversation, and answering “Poorman” whenever anyone would call him.

He will be sadly missed by all those that knew him.

Twice Loved Boutique is donating two Gift Certificates to be raffled off at this event.

If you’re getting the bug to do any of that Post-Holiday, Pre-Spring Cleaning, let us help!

We are preparing some updates for our store for our upcoming re-opening in May, including the addition of MORE racks (increased selling space and more specific organization to make shopping even easier for our awesome customers!). We are looking for fresh items to add to our inventory, new consignment accounts to be a bit more specific. Now typically our consignment accounts run for about 90 days (3 months from the date you bring your items in) but because we are closed for the time being, new accounts (and any items that have been brought in since November) will be extended, to begin on May 1st when we re-open, and will end August 1st, just in time to refresh for back to school and cooler weather sales!

Items we are looking for on Consignment for the summer:

• Girls and Boys school clothes
• Mens clothing of all sizes
• Maternity clothing
• Shoes
• Vintage and unique pieces

We may be looking for more as the time to re-open approaches, and we will know more once we have finished taking inventory and all of that business, so stay tuned

We also receive questions from people occasionally about whether or not we take donations. The answer is YES, of course we do! We will take nearly anything, but hope that our wonderful suppliers will take into consideration current fashions and things people most likely just will not want. Keep it clean and neat and no bags please!

So it appears that our heating issues are back, and are not going to be fixed any time soon. Of course, this comes after a whole month of preparing to open back up, just to have another week of delays due to illness.

After a lot of thinking and debating and weighing options, we have decided that the best option for Twice Loved Boutique is to remain closed until warmer weather arrives, with a tentative date of May 1st. We were closed all of last winter for other reasons (one of those will be turning a year old in a few months!) and opening back in May and celebrating with an anniversary event worked out really well for us!

Our loyal customers understood the break, as I am sure you all will continue to understand, and you were right there celebrating with us for our 1st Anniversary/ReOpening celebration! Over our second year, even with the current economical state, our sales were up about 25% from our first year! I am confident that this business will continue to grow and gain even more amazing customers, even when we have to close for the winter.

I will continue to be available by request if you are in need of something you can call ahead and set up a time and I’ll make sure I am available to help you out, some customers have already taken advantage of this and I hope more of you do. The number to call is 207-722-3519, if there’s no answer, just leave a message and I’ll get back to you!

Thank you all for understanding the difficulties we are having, and for remaining loyal through these tough times. We will see you again in the spring (or sooner if you come visit us this weekend at the Mount View Elementary PTC Baby Fair!

We were hoping to be open yesterday to pass out candy and see all the kiddos in their costumes, but as the past has proven to be habit, whenever we plan to do something, things happen to make it impossible to continue!

We were having some technical difficulties yesterday (Halloween) and in the process of dealing with those we wound up having to make a big mess in the store, and we just couldn’t let anyone see it that way!

We spent the rest of the day sorting through things, organizing, rearranging and cleaning up. We didn’t even manage to finish it all yesterday, in fact as I sit here at almost 1pm there is still a bit left to do… there goes my idea of opening at all TODAY, haha!

I promise things will be DONE by the end of today, and we will be open tomorrow, and it will look better than ever in here!

I guess it’s not all bad, I have been warning people that there was going to be a mess here soon as we got ready to do an overhaul on the heating system… and well, here it is! Heating system is scheduled for repair next weekend, hopefully that won’t be too disruptive.

For anyone that doesn’t already know, we will be having an Avon party here at Twice Loved Boutique on November 15th at 4pm. Free gifts for everyone who comes, as well as food and drink for guests, free samples and demonstration products for you to test out, and some great savings for anyone who purchases or places an order that day! You can call 207-722-3519 or go to http://youravon.com/jessicawellman for details and to RSVP. No invitations are necessary, so bring a friend (bringing a friend counts as a referral for the yet-to-be-announced Avon Customer Rewards program we will be announcing!). We are just asking for an RSVP by November 8th for anyone who plans on attending so that we can be sure to have enough Free Gifts for everyone!
