It seems like I have abandoned The Sweet Repeats blog.

I haven't. I just haven't any time to write. Christmas has been so busy this year! I hope everyone had a chance to enjoy the snow!

Please, take time out of your busy lives to have a fabulous Christmas with your families!

We all have so much to be thankful for! I find that even if you feel like you are at the bottom and struggling, you can always find something to be thankful for. Always. Remember to put things in perspective and don't sweat the small stuff.

I would love to have your vote...

Christmas Cash

Getting ready for the Holidays, yet??

We all know that most of the toys given for Christmas only get played with THAT day!! So, rather than have them take up space in the house, why not bring them in and get some $$$ ?

Make sure they are working and cleaned up! (I have found that wiping them down with a Clorox wipe works best for me.) And if they require batteries, bring those, too! No one wants to buy a toy that "might" work-wouldn't you want to see it lighting up and making all kinds of wonderful noises??!

So hurry in and drop them off!! You'll have time to get them sold before the shopping gets too heavy!!

Thank you!!

Thanks to everyone who stopped by last Saturday! I hope yall enjoyed the cookies we had! It was so fun for me to see the kids dressed up in their costumes!!

With Thanksgiving right around the corner, I am feeling extra THANKFUL for all of the customers that come in! I have really enjoyed meeting everyone and creating friendships with other moms & families in Brenham -and other surrounding places!

Invitation for you...

*If you get one in the mail- bring it in on the 31st for 10% off any purchase!

For a good cause!

Make your promise today
"Write a note and we'll donate a lunch! Let's make a promise. All you need to do is promise to drop a note in your kid's lunch. Do that and we'll give a free meal to a kid in need. Together, we can turn that little note into a world of difference."

Getting ready for Back-To-School

I just wanted to remind everyone that it is almost time for Back to school shopping! That is, if you haven't already started! One thing I am looking for is backpacks and lunch kits!

Did you know that most can be washed in the washing machine? Turn them inside out and wash them on the gentle cycle! They will come out good as new! Make sure you don't put them in the dryer, but you can lay them flat on top to help them dry quicker!

Hope this helps and I hope to see some of you in here with backpacks, soon!

Lemonade for Light the Night

We have been doing The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's Light The Night Walk for about 3 years now. This is the first year that my daughter has decided to raise her own money to donate. She has been setting up a lemonade stand, at least twice a month, on the sidewalk in front of the store. All of the money she makes goes towards Light the Night. She is really looking forward to turning in all of her money! If you see her out there, ask her why she is selling lemonade!

Thanks to all who have stopped in and supported her! We really appreciate it!

SATURDAY ONLY -July 11th

EVERYTHING* in the store is 25% OFF!

(Everything under $100)

I need inventory moved to make room for fall stuff! So stop by and get some great deals!!

We will be open late- until 7:00!

Saturday is also the first day of "Hot Nights- Cool Tunes" so bring your lawn chairs and crowd around the court house for Abbey Rode, the Beetles cover band!

Couple of changes....

Hi!! I hope everyone has a great holiday weekend! July 4th is a special time for our country and I LOVE it!! I am sorry I haven't had more posts, but there has been so much going on (more about that later).
I have a couple of things I want everyone to know about.

The first one is that we are not going to take more than 45 items at a time. Things are so hectic, that in order for everyone to get things out, we have to limit the amount of time we can spend per person.

The second thing is that July is the last month we will be taking in "summer" items. It is almost time for Back-To-School, so we will be needing our space for fall items. August 3rd will be the first day we will begin accepting fall things.

I would also like to mention that I will NOT be accepting ANYTHING the last week of July. The entire week of July 26-August 1, I won't be taking anything in. This is to make sure we have every one's things out from the summer.

Those are some things I just wanted everyone to be aware of. If you have any questions, you can call or email or comment below!

I am running out of room in the shoe dept!!! So- this Thursday & Friday- I am having a "Shoe Sale"!! All shoes are 15% OFF!! Starting tomorrow-come get great shoes, even cheaper! I need the room!! Girls and boys- all sizes-sandals and boots!! Just stop in and take a look...

New Stuff...

Sweet Repeats has had bows for a while now. I have been carrying a few different brands. All with their own colors and ribbon types. But now I have something so smart and new- that you will probably slap your forehead and say "OMG- why didn't I invent that?"!!! Seriously, when I saw it with my daughter, who loved it, we both said "Oooooooohhhh" and then in my mind I said "duh"! It is called a "lemonhead". It is a new ribbon headband. It was invented by a mom who got tired of her daughter taking off her headbands at school because it would pinch behind her ears and give her a headache. They are "No-Slip". They come in so many different colors and patterns! The flowers are an accessory that can be clipped on or worn separately!

I have been testing them out on Brinley, my daughter, and she loves them. Mainly because after I put it in, in the morning, she never has to worry about it falling out, coming lose, or having it fall off while upside down on the monkey bars!!

So come in and check them out!

First Blog!!?

Okay, so I am working on a blog for the store. And it is much harder than I thought it would be. I thought I knew more about XML and HTML than most people, but not enough to really get the end result I want. So, the look and layout might change. Actually, I can say it definitely will change.
The purpose of this blog is just to let everyone know whats going on here. Sometimes I will have sale announcements. Or maybe special coupons just for followers. Or just some general info that you might want to know about. It also is a good way to see who else is coming and going in here.
So sign up to follow, and check in once in a while. You might like what you see:)
