A Joyous Hello Everyone,

Once again our Spring Open House was a wonderful event! Thank you all who came and made the day a special one! My thanks of course also go out to my wonderful Mulberry gals, Leslie, Marsha, Tami, Simone, and my sister Janet who all worked so hard to make sure it was a wonderful shopping experience for you. And of course a special thank you to my husband/CFO/web designer who does so much and puts up with so much. Every time we start to decorate I have a vision and all the gals play a part but my two fantastic decorators (I also think of them as dress makers) who help me so much, Michelle who puts in so, so many hours, and Veronica who helps us a couple nights a week after her full-time job. These two know exactly what my vision is and help me make it all happen! Yes, the Cottage put on her best dress for you with of course a lot of help from her “Dress Makers”.

We had our annual Easter Egg Hunt and 3 lucky customers: Richard Noel, Amy Clinkerbeard, and Angela Schryver found the Easter eggs and won the Mulberry Gift Certificates inside.

Our favorite Easter Bunnies, Olivia and Trevor arrived accompanied by their owner, Katrina Ison. Thank you Katrina, we love seeing them!

With Celtic music playing, birds chirping in our garden room and yummy food to taste, along with all of you wonderful customers, our friends, it was a joyful day!

If you haven’t been in the shop yet, do come in because we still have wonderful treasures for this spring season. Now even if you did come to the Spring Open House and think you have seen everything, I want to let you know new treasures have arrived and continue to arrive almost daily. Wonderful unique home decor for your kitchen, bathroom, bedroom, living room and garden. Our beach section has some unique items, beautiful statues of mermaids and beach girls of the 30’s. In the kitchen, some vintage plates and glassware… Very nice. Also, some unique curtains that can go in any room of your house. I want to also let you know that we can also special order curtains from Heritage Lace for you. Just talk to Leslie, my store manager and she’ll assist you. Also, just arrived are some beautiful necklaces and other fashion accessories. Don’t forget the Vera Bradley Spring collection is in and these accessories are beautiful. Our spiritual section is filled with beautiful crosses, plaques and other treasures of faith. Yes, we also just stocked up on House of Webster, Stonewall Kitchen, and other yummy edibles. This is just a few of the new arrivals. Come in to see them all!

When you read this letter, Easter will just be a few days away but you still have time to come in and find that special Easter gift, food item for your Easter feast, and that special Easter greeting card. You know that when you come into the shop, the wonderful shopping experience will calm and relax even the busiest of people. You will find just what you need and get great customer service and not have to go searching anywhere else. At Mulberry Cottage we take pride in helping our customers and do our very best to help you find just what you need for that special person, gathering, or for you personally. We feel we are truly blessed to have you all a part of our lives. We all love to see your smiling faces. We love talking with each of you and hearing about you and your families. So I want to take this opportunity to wish you and your families a joyous Easter. All of us too will be spending time with our families on Easter so the shop will be closed on Easter Sunday. A very Happy Easter to you all.

Love and God bless,

Jamie
