Today was a another fun day at La Petite Maison. I had the nicest group of ladies (girlfriends who were out playing) come into the store. They loved the store and I loved that they loved the store. That’s a lot of love!! The lady in this picture (third from left) was hosting her friends at her house in Cooperopolis, CA. Shopping and lunch were on the agenda for the day. We got started taking pictures when they saw my metal eiffel tower on my roof. They are all going to France together in September and they said they needed a picture with them and the tower. What a perfect background! Hopefully when they are in France they will get a picture in front of the real eiffel tower. France is also the home of my French Soap line, Lepi de Provence, which the ladies made sure to buy. I explain to customers that once they use this soap they will never use anything else. Its that good!!! The most luxurious lather! Its made with shea butter so of course its going to leave your skin smooth and soft. I have twenty scents in the store right now. Four of these are brand new scents from the company this year – White Musk, Citrus Black Tea, Lotus Bamboo and Lemongrass. The winner with the ladies was Lemongrass. Isn’t it funny, thats my bestseller!
The picture above was taken when the ladies made their way into the garden area. Luckily my young helpers had just been here in the morning pulling weeds, so the yard was looking mighty fine for pictures. This time I told them it was my turn to take the pictures, and voila (love my french) the picture for my new blog post.
So, all you girlfriends out there, come up to La Petite Maison for your girlfriend get away shopping in lovely historic Jamestown, CA .
Till my next blog….. Karen
Karen, That reminds me of the day we had at Jamestown recently this spring for my birthday. We had fun vIsiting and shopping at LaPetite Maison first. Then we went down the block and caught all the artists and crafters who were present for the Day in the Park. We found a hand painted scarf and some native California plants and listened to the musicians I bought a hand knit baby sweater for a friend’s baby. By then we were thirsty and had tea and treats at the Scoop. We visited Angeline and found the new decorated bags that are handy for grocery shopping. When everyone was through for the day,it was dinner time and we took advantage of the number of choices of food offerings. We had a full, fun day and we’re going to do it again even when it’s not a birthday. Laughter and fun with family and friends, that’s the formula.
Karen we had such a wonderful day in Jamestown. Your shop was the highlight. We all loved the goodies you had for us to look at and ponder. Thank you for a wonderful experience and making it special with your beautiful wrapping and friendliness. Best Wishes to you.
Thanks for taking this picture; what a great time we had browsing and shopping in your wonderful store! I’m the one with the house in Copperopolis. I’ll be by shopping with friends often this summer. The french soap is wonderful!
