Please join us for shopping with a twist on Friday, March 27, 2009 as we present Easter Memories.
On
Easter mornings, when we were children, we would awaken to discover
Spring had magically arrived overnight… and delivered some delightful
surprises. The world was new again and filled with treasures just
waiting for us to discover them. Tall chocolate bunnies hidden in
springtime flower beds. Eggs delicately painted like rainbows, waiting
in the grass. Plush rabbits in ruffled dresses and straw hats, sitting
in white baskets, eager to become our very special friends. We'd hunt
together with our friends and family, oohing and aahing over each
person's discovery… but secretly knowing that the treasures we found
were made just for us. Now
that we're older, the newness of Spring and the thrill of the annual
Easter hunt can be rediscovered every time we seek out a treasure in a
vintage shop or exclusive boutique. Perhaps we're not searching for
chocolate wrapped in sparkly foil or rainbow colored treats. We might
not even be sure what we're seeking, but we recognize these treasures
the instant we see them. A
vintage hanky embroidered so delicately you can't help but wonder about
the woman behind its design. A crystal bracelet reflecting a color
that's "just so" when the sunlight shines on it in "just that way". The
ideal display for a certain corner that's been looking slightly forlorn
- not missing just anything, but the perfect thing. The
moment we discover them, our hearts feel a little thrill and, just for
that moment, the world is new again and we feel reborn. As if someone
hid this treasure in a secret corner just for us to find, and our
hearts recognize them before we even know what we've discovered. At
Make Mine Pink, you may not find the foil wrapped bunnies or the
colorful eggs, but you will always discover a thrilling hunt for the
perfect treasure that stirs up feelings of Spring.
