What about last weekend? There was Taylor Swift, The Bite of Seattle, Barbie Movie, Mariners games, Capital Hill Block Party, 520 Bridge Closure, 4 Cruise Liners in town……have I covered everything? There was so much traffic and people in town, it was excruciating. There was nothing great about COVID except there was no traffic in Seattle. Do you remember those days? Such a distant memory, but I miss those days of so very few people on the road, like we lived in back woods Kansas.

My husband and I decided to walk down to the Pike Place Market on Sunday for a cappuccino. We were not driving anywhere. There was so many people walking around, it was crazy. Duh, it’s Summer in Seattle! We could hardly make it through the crowds. All the coffee shops were packed so we decided to see if the Secret Garden had reopened. If you don’t know where it is, not sure I want to tell you because, yeah, its a secret! LOL. It was open and no one was there. Next door there was a French restaurant with a covered patio. It looked inviting so we decided to try it. What an amazing afternoon! The view was brilliant and the waiter was very French. We ordered a charcuterie board and a nice wine with a beautiful dressed salad and enjoyed the fabulous afternoon. Before leaving, there was a real cappuccino and a creme brûlée we decided we needed to top off the afternoon. The restaurant patio wasn’t crowded and it was such a beautiful Summer day in Seattle! I now remember what the weather is like here during Summer. Everywhere else in the US is stifling hot. We have the best temperatures for sure! So, find a place to enjoy it, hide away amongst the crowds, it is possible. Enjoy these beautiful days, because before you know it, Summer will be over. I am savoring every beautiful day right now, because I won’t be here next year at this time, I will be in Mexico.

How’s your clothes situation? Do you have enough great fashion to wear this Summer? We have so many cute dresses right now and fun Summer tops. We have all kinds of pieces to add to your wardrobe. You must stop by! We have amazing colors too and many unique pieces you don’t see around town. Shelley has a way of bringing you the best fashion she can find. This blog will show you what’s new every week. As usual, smalls go very quickly. Unfortunately, we do not have a phone at Wink Hair Studio, so you can’t call us to hold items. You must come in and grab what you want. We are so conveniently located in Queen Anne, a couple doors down from Macrina, Ken's Market, and across the street from Malena's Tacos. You can make a day of it! Plus, it's very walkable up on Queen Anne so you can leisurely stroll through the streets and stop by Meadow for some retain therapy. I don't know about you, but I always need that kind of therapy. We would love to see you, so put us on your route! We always light up when we see your smiling faces and hearing about your Summer activities.

What’s NEW this week at Meadow Boutique?

We have pieces from LOVE TREE, MINE, CHRIS & CAROL, DOUBLE ZERO, BLU PEPPER, MILLIBON, BY THE RIVER, EMERALD SUNDAY, and KAN CAN Denim. You can see below all of our great fashion and better yet all of our great prices!

Hope you all enjoying your Summer and doing lots of fun things around town. There’s plenty to do in Seattle, that’s for sure. The kids are out of school but I am sure they are in sports camps and other Summer activities. We hope you are able to get away for some long weekends or a short vacation with or without kids. We have seen plenty of family members visiting our customers. You have brought them in to shop, so thanks for that. That’s been fun to meet them and see those of you who always shop at Meadow when you come into town each year. Some of you have gone to our other location, but you still found us at our pop-up at Wink Hair Studio. No matter the situation, we are extremely glad we are able to see you and your loved ones and all of our new friends that have been newly introduced to us. We are still here after 13 years and we plan to be here many more. Thank you, Thank you for hanging in here with us! Believe me, it does not go unnoticed. xoxoxo
