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!

Yep it’s official, and sorry I haven’t posted sooner to let everyone know, had a lot going on at home with the new baby and people being sick, plus trying to get the shop all cleaned up, organized, restocked and all that good stuff to make it good enough to HAVE the reopening this weekend!

We have added a ton of new inventory, all the racks are full! We have even decided we need at least 2 more racks (which we are HOPING to have installed BEFORE we open on Saturday, otherwise they will have to be listed as a “coming attraction” haha!) one rack will be for Discount Items (yes I know, we are a Resale & Consignment shop, so things are already pretty discounted, but these are items that are priced to SELL! Even more so than before…!) and the other rack will be for Maternity clothes (which we have quite a bit of, but felt it would be more appropriate for them to have their own home instead of being thrown in with all the rest of the Women’s items!).

I know LOTS of you will be out Yard Saling this weekend, so make sure to take a detour through Brooks on your way to or from home and check out what we’ve got available for you!

90% or more of our inventory is priced $5 or under!!!!!!!
