I hate to say it, but there’s some Fall pieces coming in. Not all the pieces, but some are definitely for the weather when we will start feeling the cool. It’ seems to have come so fast. It’s still the beginning of August, so let’s not get ourselves worked up about Fall yet. There’s still plenty of fashion for Summer in the Boutique. I am just preparing you for those sweaters that are on the racks. Like I said, it’s just a few. As the month comes to an end, you will see Fall grace our racks! I am still hoping for some hot days and some barbecues. I am sure we will get some more Summer weather, August is always pretty warm and sunny. I would like to take a jump in the water somewhere, but not sure if it is warm enough. I guess that’s what vacations are for! I can’t wait for my forever vacation to Mexico, I mean retirement. I am enjoying every minute of Seattle right now and wearing all my Summer fun clothes from Meadow. How about you?

Last Friday evening I was driving by the Space Needle and there were movies happening under it at the Mural. Did you know about this? It looks like a fun thing to do during the Summer, and something a little different then the run of the mill Summer activities. There are FREE movies under the Space Needle at the Mural and they’re the perfect plan for a summer night! Movies begin at dusk (about 9pm) Fridays in August. Each feature is preceded by a short film by students at Cornish College for the Arts. So that’s interesting too, seeing something creative by students!

Enjoy a picnic on a gentle slope at the Mural Amphiteather lawn, and watch a delightful movie on a 40-foot screen with the Space Needle looming above. This famous series will include classic and contemporary movies for all ages. This unique event at the Mural is an outdoor cinema experience like no other, and a great opportunity to enjoy Seattle’s nice weather and reunite with friends and family. They recommend bringing low-back chairs, blankets, or bean bags to enjoy comfortable seating and make sure to arrive on time since this will be a first-come, first-served kind of event. Food and beverages will be available in the Seattle Center Armory and at food carts on the grounds before each screening. Here’s the line up in case you want to partake:

August 4 - Clueless August 11 - Jaws August 18 - Dream Girls August 25 - Black Panther: Wakanda Forever

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique:

CHERISH has the most pieces this week with tops and pants and a very versatile jumpsuit. Then we have DOUBLE ZERO which is always a Meadow favorite, with definitely some Fall pieces or end of Summer for cool evenings. That’s what’s nice about these heavier weight pieces is that they will transition nicely in our Seattle weather. MYSTREE has an interesting light jacket, HYFYVE with a corduroy jacket and FANCO with a very feminine bodysuit. We have some cute little zipper bags as well, and fanny bags that will brighten up any outfit as you can see. Get creative - think out of the box. See below for all the fabulous finds!

I am going to sign off for now. Stop by and see us for some Summer wear or some Fall wear. There’s something for everyone. There’s a sale rack with items marked down and also a box with $10 items. You can’t go wrong at Meadow Boutique. It’s the best little Boutique that happened to Queen Anne and it all happened almost 13 years ago. Shelley had a brilliant idea and here we are. She still to this day gets at least 7 new items in a week and up to 15. Yes, every week. That’s the beauty of Meadow, there’s always something new. That’s what kept me coming back before I started working here. I found out when the arrival of new items came in, and I made my way to the boutique to do my shopping. The prices were also a perfect for me, right in my budget. I know it’s the same for all of you. Thanks for hanging in there with us. You certainly make our days more memorable. We will always remember how you stood by us through thick and thin and COVID and fires, and I think that about covers it for now. Love is always in the air for our customers at Meadow…..xoxoxoxo

Be yourself, chase your dreams, and just never say never. That's the best advice I could ever give someone. Giving up doesn't always mean you're weak, sometimes you're just strong enough to let go. ~ Taylor Swift
