Do you know our neighbors?

We have the most wonderful neighbors. We're sure you have really fantastic neighbors too - but ours are really spectacular - and we want the world (or at least all of our readers) to know it. While these are only two of our down-town friends, we hope if you're not familiar with the area you will come down for a day and get to know all of the wonderful businesses in Andover. But for now, we'll leave you with:

Robert Jason Salon. Located 92 Main Street Andover MA 01810.
http://www.robertjasonsalon.com/

Robert - your team - your magical, uber-talented, outgoing team of experts never fails to AMAZE us. BTW the Tan Towels you sell at the front desk are amazing! So easy and fun to use. Its nice to know that even on a cloudy day you can have a beautiful (almost)-sun-kissed glow!

In The Pink Salon. Located 93 Main Street Andover MA 01810.

And Katrina, your Nail Shellac - is WONDERFUL. Not that we don't love seeing you every week - but what woman doesn't adore a manicure that stays looking new for multiple weeks in a row?!  You and your team do such a great job!

To our readers? Everyday is a block party in Downtown Andover. We have so many wonderful businesses  -and even more wonderful customers. We really couldn't be luckier to have such a great community - and none of it would be possible without you. Maybe now that the weather is getting nicer (well...hopefully, at least!) it would be a nice time to grab a coffee, go for a walk, and explore the great town we live in! 

Stone Soup

"Lake in a Can" from Aunt Sadie's Candles. 

It seems lately that everyone is in need of new rugs - and can we blame them? There's just something about Spring that makes us want to refresh, to recreate. What better place to start than your own home? Dash and Albert's Stone Soup collection is back by popular demand (VERY popular demand, we might add) and these pictures just don't do the collection justice. You'll just have to come in to see these fabulous colors for yourself! Your house puts up with a lot from you and your family. Give your floors a break with Dash and Albert, and fall in love with home again.

Lemonade In A Can.

Lemonade Candle from Aunt Sadie's.

Honey Candle from Aunt Sadie's. 

These candles remind us of screen porches on hot days. Who wouldn't want a candle that recreates the sweetness of Summer? Aunt Sadie, you've outdone yourself again. These candles are simply smashing!

Graduation Season is upon us - and we are well-stocked with graduation gifts. Our favorite, you ask? The FIVE book from Compendium, Inc.! This workbook has proven to be a great gift for grads both young and old. Don't know any grads? It is a great gift for friends and family members who are working towards a goal. You may want to pick one up for yourself as well - there is always a new adventure to embark on.

We love you, Company C.

We love Company C. Their rugs, furniture and home accessories have proven to be just as durable as they are beautiful. We keep receiving new sample swatches, which have been invaluable tools when it comes to special orders. Do you have a Company C product that has transformed your home? We'd love to see before and after pictures!

Some of our favorites for Spring...
