Our Favorite Nail Salon...

Has moved right next door! In The Pink is now in a wonderful location at 74 Main Street right only a couple of doors down from Helen Thomas. We couldn't be more excited for our friends. The best news? They're having a party this weekend, April 1st to celebrate their grand re-opening. We hope you'll be able to make it! Congratulations In The Pink!

In The Pink's New Space is incredible!

We are trying this - tonight! Something this healthy and tasty? Could just be the answer to all of our sweet-tooth woes!

Long Time, No Post!

So, after a very long hibernation, the Simply Smashing blog is back and ready for posting! We have some big ideas for the upcoming warm weather and some great new products heading your way too! All of your Springtime favorites have come in, from Aunt Sadie's Lilac Candle to super-cuddly Jellycat bunnies  - not to mention a few new things we have in store that we think you'll enjoy!

Lilac Candles from Aunt Sadies make your whole house smell like a warm spring evening. 

New cloth-covered books from Penguin! A great gift this spring - especially for your daughter!

We have been LOVING these cupcake aprons from Jessie Steele. More styles available! 

Super-soft Jellycat bunnies are always an Easter Favorite!

Can your LBD do this?

Willow Knit Mini Dress in Black

Willow Knit 3/4 Sleeve Dress in Black. 

Our friends at Pine Cone Hill really know how to make great sleep and lounge wear. Their line of Willow Knit is all 95% Bamboo and is by far the softest, breeziest, EASIEST clothing lines we've come across in our soon to be 11 years in business! Not only does bamboo make for very soft clothing - but it also breathes extremely well, which helps to keep you cool on hot summer days! The thing we love most about Willow Knit fabric? Its comfortable enough to sleep in - it is lounge wear, but you can absolutely wear it to bed (we recommend it!) - and nice enough to wear out for dinner and dancing! This versatile collection is the perfect summer staple. Oh - and did we mention that the line looks adorable layered? Great to wear over warm tights and leggings for Fall. Not that we're thinking about scary things like cold weather right now.

New 1110 Shirts!

"Radiate Love" shirt from 1110.

Chakra shirt from 1110. 

These 100% organic cotton shirts from 1110 are truly spectacular. They are so light-weight and soft - the perfect gift for a family member or friend. Most importantly - they remind us to nourish ourselves so that we may always feel well, live well, and be well. We have plenty in stock - and even more colors and styles on the way!

Thank you, teachers.

 Over the past few weeks we have been helping our customers find the perfect gift for the teachers who work so hard all year long to teach our little ones. If there is one thing we can appreciate at Helen Thomas, its that being a mom is more than a full time job - and next to mommies (and dads) - its those teachers who really help our kids be all that they can be! We have so many wonderful customers who are great entrepreneurs, stay-at-home-moms, pharmacists, artists, lawyers, and doctors - none of whom would be who they are today if there hadn't been any teachers to push them along the way. So, without sounding (too) corny, thank you to all of the wonderful teachers out there - we are lucky to have you!

Have you been to our store?

The fabulous wallpaper you see in the background? All wrapping paper from Waste Not Paper. Adorable, no?

Lollia, Mistral Soaps, Aunt Sadie's Candles, Potluck Studio's Cake Plates. (Some of our favorites)

These are some photos from last year we found of the store. We thought we would post them, if for no other reason than to give some of you an idea of what our store is like inside if you've never visited. Also, we change our displays almost every other day, and its fun for us to look back in our archives to see what used to go where, and just how many cake stands we're capable of stacking on top of one another! We hope you enjoy!
