<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Signage!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>We are so
thrilled to show off our new sign!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s
been a long time coming so…despite the fact that it took three of us, one
ladder and one over sized snow bank to hold said ladder…the SIMPLIFY MARKETPLACE
sign has been hung on its post for all to see and beckon customers forth.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I’m a big believer that one good turn surely
deserves another.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, while we were
outside admiring the sign (and icicles) we took a moment (ok, 10) and changed a
few light bulbs on the outdoor string.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>The cold is no excuse to put off improvements, particularly ones that
are so simple!!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After all, “A wise owl
Simplifies”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">It has been awhile since the blog has been updated. Time to wake
things up!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>A New Year…a new
beginning!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>January is always such a
great time for taking stock and reevaluating things.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s cold enough for all of us to slow down
and catch our breaths, before the next big wave.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Post holiday, the expectations seem to taper
and we get a chance to pause and focus on our next act. With the weather not so
glorious, I don’t feel so guilty hunkered down indoors tackling projects, long
overdue. Putting decorations away, filing that seemingly insurmountable pile of
last year’s papers or finally reorganizing that scary corner of my basement (Ok
let’s be honest. There are 4 scary corners!) are just a few of the items on my
list.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Personally, I like setting goals
this time of year, big and small.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The
small ones tend to lead to bigger ones…plus I just love crossing them off the
list and feeling that sense of accomplishment.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span></span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br />
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">So, with that, let’s take a look at some ways we can help
YOU set some goals, and get some tasks crossed off of your list!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Let’s go! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">One of Melissa’s favorite things in the kitchen, besides
baking of course, is her white board.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>Everyday, she scribbles down her tasks and as she achieves them, she
just wipes them away.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Very satisfying!
Simplify Marketplace carries the most adorable white boards…hang one in your
kitchen, kid’s room, mom-cave, wherever!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>They are self sticking and bordered in fun patterns to keep you feeling
tasky and trendy!</span></div>

I have been a little distracted getting the store up and running... but now it IS up and running, so I have made a New Year's resolution to get back to doing all the other SIMPLIFY things I used to do. One step at a time!<br />
<br />
My plan is to go back and post a the cakes and treats that never made it to the blog - as well as to do an update on the new products that will start coming into the store over the next month. Being January, the store has been a little slow - so Melissa and I have done a few little projects to get the creative juices rolling! A couple weeks ago a friend asked if we had ever made Angry Bird lollis. I answered no, but thought it was a pretty good idea...<br />
<br />
This is the result!<br />

We positioned a birdbath in the middle of the path we didn't want people to use and created this fun arrangement of limes, lemons and a pineapple to help set the tone for the evening and block the path!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuX-CYvUXbluO5zc9La0S-fACzVOGRrLGQSx0ovqEJt0Js2Py-jmMH4LHPPFtDlBDWTd0fFnUEPam3aAwHAuoHe1Uxf-A62VC7zjIYVlXuyq1Ww7y2hdABQaSNFt56L38HUlcVpGHhWoe3/s1600/IMG_4217.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuX-CYvUXbluO5zc9La0S-fACzVOGRrLGQSx0ovqEJt0Js2Py-jmMH4LHPPFtDlBDWTd0fFnUEPam3aAwHAuoHe1Uxf-A62VC7zjIYVlXuyq1Ww7y2hdABQaSNFt56L38HUlcVpGHhWoe3/s320/IMG_4217.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580235491548511090" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Torches lined the correct pathway up the stairs into the back yard<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sNn9gTbICvpbeEYIA0yLAwsbdJUbvrSJgE2DW_dIytMHBZSE9dBce0Dz8ctM1-SMnoS5K8FADYSNk61zn7VUECn3BXJoaTBH6d0i3Q8rzWJceDjygBzeXZ-Vqju1CfrffEonNfn9I0li/s1600/IMG_4209.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3sNn9gTbICvpbeEYIA0yLAwsbdJUbvrSJgE2DW_dIytMHBZSE9dBce0Dz8ctM1-SMnoS5K8FADYSNk61zn7VUECn3BXJoaTBH6d0i3Q8rzWJceDjygBzeXZ-Vqju1CfrffEonNfn9I0li/s320/IMG_4209.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580236793223823250" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Guests were met at the top of the stairs by servers holding trays of Rum Punch (the credit for the rum punch recipe goes to a good friend and many trips to Jamaica... but that will have to wait to be the subject for another post)<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEUFVPVLvuOzCsNatmbqQd_Se42ynA_QmIWo37NzvoKEYxtc6wyhSPjf9FcJtzN9O90fLjEU5wNvTQOqYi1TxcW__-mV_YoyyrSoCUN_UpRIFNXwINu2Xx-zbO0rsqdgIm3rfAXUQh69f/s1600/IMG_4262.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 214px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAEUFVPVLvuOzCsNatmbqQd_Se42ynA_QmIWo37NzvoKEYxtc6wyhSPjf9FcJtzN9O90fLjEU5wNvTQOqYi1TxcW__-mV_YoyyrSoCUN_UpRIFNXwINu2Xx-zbO0rsqdgIm3rfAXUQh69f/s320/IMG_4262.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5580236802151302578" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The hostess told us that she wasn't a big fan of flowers... so we kept them to a minimum and used fruit, tropical leaves and shells for most of our arrangements.

A few good humored guests were highlighted in advance and asked to wait to the side for a few moments until the bouncer decided they were "ok" to enter....<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLKCGy037mL6-dmHzcuZpLodzHmBnhCywZiUtqZJq_Vfu2_kQS-4fHCW9QgwXx3cT0qA92vhpwAAA8FKGhS0wA-SYDQd2M9b9l6cNqR_dDc-Azqp2a-ZIsXFeVETweol0_Ecb8FQlrb2e/s1600/IMG_1756.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 240px; height: 320px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyLKCGy037mL6-dmHzcuZpLodzHmBnhCywZiUtqZJq_Vfu2_kQS-4fHCW9QgwXx3cT0qA92vhpwAAA8FKGhS0wA-SYDQd2M9b9l6cNqR_dDc-Azqp2a-ZIsXFeVETweol0_Ecb8FQlrb2e/s320/IMG_1756.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578796687644456930" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNoaTBbOxGKUevyk5x0OIRDr1qSvbqLsBlxQ5jitOWhiT9ycpCHZz3gLhmPkOQB7DiNlOhWT_bLhAsfZuScfPONaftZ20G9s3qffEc4T5zwz5r4h56mRun3FzDyqhFSdJ2HPd4VtXwa5Zg/s1600/IMG_1759.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhNoaTBbOxGKUevyk5x0OIRDr1qSvbqLsBlxQ5jitOWhiT9ycpCHZz3gLhmPkOQB7DiNlOhWT_bLhAsfZuScfPONaftZ20G9s3qffEc4T5zwz5r4h56mRun3FzDyqhFSdJ2HPd4VtXwa5Zg/s320/IMG_1759.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578796678180763746" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfPM268bz8tJ79k3MPO39JF2vBlN3gBf6vOYagGO9A-Y5fE1PBBMRrdWR7Dvf06UVqHwheyEQq7cEGj5h6RRJfQ4HMEn4rhjzVFy3-TkUKmG_x3gId0j9OzebKA-sxE_OMG2atMVRu-W8/s1600/IMG_1761.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjZfPM268bz8tJ79k3MPO39JF2vBlN3gBf6vOYagGO9A-Y5fE1PBBMRrdWR7Dvf06UVqHwheyEQq7cEGj5h6RRJfQ4HMEn4rhjzVFy3-TkUKmG_x3gId0j9OzebKA-sxE_OMG2atMVRu-W8/s320/IMG_1761.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578796670986196146" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="text-decoration: underline;"></span>A dessert table by Sweet Stuff with a shopping vignette for the cake and some beautiful finger desserts capped the evening<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZaBFgvfG2L5RuwcVI631Kyy1QwJtPv8sIh-RcR7LgK92ffSKjrw_B63ayyWDDLTfxH3QFpP6zqktr2HHXl1q0zWFtUqAkF0_5Fb6Dm5Akvl7duDngrTiG_tGEAM3LbbgXZFT58zDwk_m/s1600/IMG_1747.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg-ZaBFgvfG2L5RuwcVI631Kyy1QwJtPv8sIh-RcR7LgK92ffSKjrw_B63ayyWDDLTfxH3QFpP6zqktr2HHXl1q0zWFtUqAkF0_5Fb6Dm5Akvl7duDngrTiG_tGEAM3LbbgXZFT58zDwk_m/s320/IMG_1747.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578797964916376802" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Desserts were propped up on glass plates over vases filled with floral marbles and lights<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAxdTq84dg9Tq6WOOsBuIbkefCudz4si0euaUVSETrQrXC9WbbthXZaiSN4_URhPcYlyv4MUsi9HCjxXGpDlhUYpE9HOTv9gjh4FvGCYwoySCMO3eXznEmW9fcSXmL2Gg2oapS4cKf_kqF/s1600/IMG_1744.JPG"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgAxdTq84dg9Tq6WOOsBuIbkefCudz4si0euaUVSETrQrXC9WbbthXZaiSN4_URhPcYlyv4MUsi9HCjxXGpDlhUYpE9HOTv9gjh4FvGCYwoySCMO3eXznEmW9fcSXmL2Gg2oapS4cKf_kqF/s320/IMG_1744.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5578797956754022914" border="0" /></a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07802339025332564142noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3715162605954212100.post-31594465922642853362011-02-19T10:27:00.000-05:002011-02-19T11:37:01.776-05:00"Red & White" Birthday PartyWhat to do for a Surprise Party for a lovely lady with a Valentine's birthday?

Although you can't see the view in this picture - it was all of Montego Bay, turquoise water and waves crashing on the rocks and sand. Quiet & peaceful.
