National Conference

Wow...what a great weekend we just had! We attended the National Association of Resale and Thrift store's conference in Florida over the weekend. What a great way to get together with other professional stores and share information and share great ideas to service our customers.

We attended workshops on promotions, formal wear displays, social media information and much more. Wow, our heads are now full of new ideas and thoughts to help us, help you.

You may see a few changes in the next month, let us know if it is what you want!

Shaped Bands!

Yes, even us at Cutie's have been caught by the shaped bands craze. The thing is, they are really cute!

We just got a shipment of 10 different shapes including words and sayings, glitters, dogs, fast food etc.

Our bands are $2.50 per pack which include 2 of each shape in a package.

Great "treats" for good summer behavior!

Last Call for Prom/ Formal Gowns

***Now through Sunday, June 13th, all remaining Formal Gowns are 50% off their current prices!*****


This weekend we will be taking down the remainder of our Prom/ Formal Gowns. Grab any you had your eye on this week!

I heard of a great use for one of these gowns last week. A woman was shopping with her 12 year old daughter for a "Princess" gown. The 12 year old, was hired by her neighbor to entertain her 6 year old's birthday party as a "Princess". What a great idea! They found a beautiful, very princess-like gown for the girl to wear.

Summer Fun

Ok, the start of Summer is upon us, Memorial Day! We are now focused on keeping the family busy, especially the kids!

Have you seen our expanded selection of Melissa & Doug toys? They have just expanded their summer toys and they are AWESOME!! There are new beach toys, hopscotch sets, kid sized crochet sets, etc.

Don't forget about my favorites: the items to keep the kids occupied in the car. I have heard so many people are planning summer road trips this year. We have the full line of Melissa & Doug art supplies. There are great wipe off boards, coloring pads, crayons, colored pencils etc.

Another great car option is a Hangman or travel Bingo game. These are reusable board games than can be used every trip to the beach this summer.

Come check out the fun summer toys and activities for the kids!

CU 4 Reality credit fair

On Tuesday, we participated in the area CU 4 Reality credit union fair held for several students in local middle and high schools.

We were thrilled to help out in this event and love the philosophy behind this event.

This event was sponsored by several local credit unions, to help kids start to learn the power of a budget and keeping within a budget. What a valuable lesson.

Students have been learning about careers, earning a paycheck and then how to budget within their earnings to accomplish all the items they want and needs. The students need to select housing, food, cars, insurance, and clothing (we provided booth) before they can then spend some of their extra money on gym membership, owning a pet or going on vacation.

This is a great lesson our students need to learn so they are better able to manage their finances and learn to prioritize within their means.

Thank you to all other credit unions/ insurance agencies who supported this event and all the other businesses who volunteered their time and resources. I love to be involved in events like this within our community.

Bead bracelets

Have you seen our Bauble Lulu bracelets and beads? They fit with the "major" bead bracelets.

We have glass blown beads, rhodium metal beads in really cute designs (rhodium is just as strong as silver, but doesn't rust!)

We have bracelets in all sizes, necklaces, key chains, pendants to put on zipper pulls or necklace of your choice. There are even earrings! Really cute and beads are $10 or less!

These make a great end-of-year gift for teachers or a thank you to a special person anytime!
