Daylight Savings at Meadow

We have happily eased into daylight savings time, which means there are more hours of daylight to shop at your neighborhood boutique, Meadow. We believe that shopping here is saving you money because of our unbelievable prices and not only that, we know you and are happy to see you when you visit. It is so nice to have longer days as it feels like we are all waking up. Maybe you feel tired, unmotivated, or unproductive — and that's okay! Nobody can give 100% all the time; we're human and we all experience "off" days. Just make sure to take care of yourself so you can wake up tomorrow refreshed and ready to meet the day! There is nothing like the sun shining in Seattle. It is glorious!

Let’s have a heart-to-heart. It’s time to put your sweats and joggers aside and think about what you would like to be wearing for Spring. We know it will be hard, but next week we will be at 50% capacity, so it’s time to venture out and see how we can start living again according to the season. We are ready for you and eager to see those of you we haven’t seen for a while. Remember the old days when we were excited for Spring and we couldn’t wait to buy some new clothes? Well, these are the new days and we can still feel that way. I am cleaning out the pieces I haven’t worn for a while and purchasing some Spring pieces. I don’t have time to shop right now, said nobody ever!

There are some lovely Spring pieces that arrived this week. We promised they would. Les Amis sent some tops with thrills and frills on the sleeves. They pair well with any denim you may have or throw on a cardigan or jacket for cooler days. The colors are so light and bright. 2 Hearts brings 2 stylish dresses, one being Jackie-Oish and the other just fun and frilly in denim. Ces Femme is my pick with a dress peasant type dress I wore in the 70’s and also an eyelet sleeveless top. Love both of these pieces. Active USA sports a couple of floral tops in pink and black.Vervet Denim has some really fun styles you might like to try. All 3 styles are not skinny, they are more boyfriend style with very high waist. In the photos below, we are only showing the Vervet styles. Now you have the full scope of the new arrivals! We hope there is a piece you will “just have to have!”

We are not going to keep you any longer at your computer. Get out there and enjoy the day. We want you to get out in the world and make the best of it. You can stop by Meadow Boutique and see if there is a Spring pieces that would suit your fancy. We are here for you, please remember that. We are sure there is something we can find to add to your Spring wardrobe. One final thought - we are all in this together, today, tomorrow and every season. You can count on Meadow Boutique to be here. Thank you for trusting us with your wardrobes!

Meadow Mood Boosters

Have you been eyeing the clothes in your closet for Spring? We certainly have! This is the time to clean out what you are tired of and replenish with some new Spring colors! This is the time of the year to change your mood. Although we still have a little ways to go to really enjoy the warmth and light that Spring will bring, we can begin to think about what we can do to renew ourselves and to better balance our lives. The sun is shining more, the days are getting longer and people on the street seem to be smiling under those masks! We have to say, it just seems easier to breathe.

What better time than Spring to re-group and re-prioritize, and even re-invent ourselves, and the lives we find ourselves living. Here are some Spring “rituals” to boost your mood from Psychology Today.

De-clutter your living space. Get rid of anything you no longer need. Here’s the rule of thumb: If you haven’t worn it (or used it) for two years, out it goes. Donate clothing and household items that are in reasonably good condition to an organization or charity and books to your local library or hospital.

Clear out mental and emotional clutter. Allow yourself to let go of the past to make room for new things to come into your life. Commit to making decisions you’ve been putting off. Challenge limiting beliefs about yourself and about how things should be. Think positively. Recent research has shown that we can actually change the circuitry of our brains.

Start a Practice. We all are so programmed to do the same routine every day. Change the scenery, change your perspective!

Begin something brand new. Focus on Spring as a time of new beginnings and resolve to do something you’ve always wanted to do but never felt you had the time.

Spend time outdoors. Plant a garden. If you have no outdoor space, plant an herb garden in your kitchen or plant pots of flowers to bring the outside into your home.

Simplify your life. Slow down. As life moves so quickly, surrounding us with the constant stimulation of the information stream, we need to find a way to quiet our minds and make quality time for ourselves.

So what’s new this week, you ask? I am in a much better mood when I see all the new arrivals. Space 46 sent some lovely floral tops, a cami and a short sleeve and a cute little pair of shorts. Because masks are the rage, funny, but they have lowered their prices and we are passing the savings down to you! More Dreamers have arrived as well and if you have some of those amazing colors, see if any of the new colors may be of interest. We have some t-shirts by Mono B in a few colors that you can add to your wardrobe for some layering pieces. We also have some new style jeans that area wider leg and high waist. Gilli sports the jumpsuit, tiered dress and tie at the wait top. BBJ is new denim we are trying out for a very reasonable price. It’s not a skinny jean, they are more of a straight leg cut. Gen X says that skinny jeans are not “in” anymore, but we we beg to differ, we think anything goes. We have all been isolated for the past year and we think you should wear what is comfortable for you. We have every cut of jean at Meadow Boutique, with more arriving in the next few weeks.

Thank you for hanging in there with us. We love hearing how many of you have received your shots and the relief you are feeling. We are happy for you! We heard that we will be able to have 50% capacity in retail stores starting March 22! YAY! We are here when you are ready to venture out and rejoice in those Spring days ahead. We have something for everyone. Come on in and try some things on. We know the colors are sure to boost your mood. xoxoxoxo

Color Your World

Am I mistaken, or am I actually seeing daffodils sprouting up among the flower beds? I have spotted budding happening on some of the trees as well. The sunny days at the beginning of March was such a tease, don’t you think? It doesn’t matter really, because when we come up for air from our home offices, sunshine on our shoulders does make us happy! Signs of a new season, like Spring in all its color and growth, gives a feeling of renewal.

So many great things are happening after this years long pandemic. People are feeling like they can finally take a breath, literally! Vaccines are being given and we are looking at the world in a whole new way. People are feeling a sigh of emotional release and relief. We hear it everyday at Meadow Boutique! From where we sit, we are seeing much more appreciation for life and each other. And that my friends, is a beautiful thing.

At Meadow Boutique, we are here to color your world and inspire you to remember the colors we so enjoy about Spring. Our new arrivals this week start with MONO B. This active wear line has given us some pastel colors for our upbeat lounging and HAILEY & CO gives us the push we need to venture out to other clothing besides sweats. DOUBLE ZERO slipped in some t-shirts you might want to stock up on. Jeans are in and will always be in, so don’t throw them in the back seat. Old styles are coming back like boot cut and straight leg and dare I say bell bottoms? Shelley is ordering denim in more styles for your wearing pleasure. WARNING - they are not to be compared to your sweats and joggers. They are your jeans, remember? Please don’t be too quick to replace them yet.

Keira is still selling Girl Scout Cookies at Meadow Boutique and your support has been appreciated. Pick up a box today for $5. Money well spent to support the girls in this wonderful organization. Some of my best memories were the days when I was in Girl Scouts participating in all the fun activities to earn badges on my sash! Girl Scouts is such an empowering place for young girls to gain confidence and be strong leaders. I am sure many of you were a Girl Scout too, so you know the benefits.

Stop by Meadow this weekend and let’s see how we might color your world with some Spring pieces for your wardrobe. We are so happy you are still here with us as we explore the next steps life has put forth so we can feel whole again. We have never forgotten your love and support through this past year. Some days we didn’t know what would happen next. We rode the wave together, some days with smiles and some days with tears. No matter how much life got us down, we always, always got back up. We have you to thank for that! For those of you still feeling scared and lonely, we are thinking of you too. Please know we will be here when you are ready to venture out. Your safety and you being comfortable in our boutique is always our first priority. We look forward to seeing you soon, hopefully with a little Spring in your step! xoxoxox

Spring, Please!

Spring. Spring. Where are you? New arrivals this week have hints of Spring in color and fabric. By now you must have purchased many pairs of joggers & sweat tops, mix and match or matching, tie-dyed and solid colors. We have had them all and still do. They aren’t going away, but new arrivals boast of change. All the new arrivals will be an added fashion piece to your already adorned closet!

HAPTIC gives us long sleeve t-shirts with stripes on the body, or with sleeves of lace and colorful flowers that can mix and match with any joggers you might already have in your wardrobe. Surely eye catching! PAPER CRANE has brought in some lighter fabric sweats to transition into Spring that will certainly pair with your joggers. MINE lends a lightweight jacket and an embroidered cotton top that reminds us of the 70’s. BLU PEPPER boasts a black and white flowing top with puffy sleeves and a light weight woven sweater, perfect for layering. LA MIEL brings us tops with roomy sleeves in sage and taupe that will seamlessly pair with any denim. Know that change is in the air and you will see it transform on our racks as the months move forward.

In the front of the store at our lighted table, you will find Charleston Candle Co has graced us with some lovely scents like Spanish Moss, Sunday Brunch Mimosa, Church Street, Southern Magnolia & Farmers Market. They are smaller candles in tins. Front Porch Collection with scents of Gardenia, Lavender & Hydrangea are a larger candle in a jar. Oh the wonderful scents that swirl around this table…..heavenly!

We wanted you to know that we have Girl Scout Cookies! You heard me right. Shelley’s daughter, Keira is selling them and because of COVID, the scouts are not to sell them in public for now. You are in luck, we have them at Meadow Boutique. We will take cash or a check, but they have to be paid for separately from any other purchases you might make. So what have I done? I have bought 6 boxes because I can’t help myself. My husband loves the thin mints and they are already in the freezer. So thank you in advance for supporting our favorite Girl Scout, Keira! She is very grateful for your support.

We hope to see you this week at MeadowBoutique! Please come in and try on some of our new arrivals. It’s always fun for us to see how our clothing fits your bodies. We want you to have the best fit with everything you buy from us. Thank you for all your support and kindness you have continued to bestow upon us. We are extremely happy to be in this together with you! Keep wishing for Spring, as it is so close now.....xoxoxo

Moving Right Along

We survived the snow last weekend so now we can actually feel a little like Winter may be behind us, right? I don’t think I have seen that much snow here in Seattle for a while. It was beautiful other than the fact that the city shuts down. With all the hills we have to contend with, there is no other choice! Our Valentine dinner was cancelled so we made the best of the situation and my husband created a tasty dinner at home. Someone wrote LOVE in the snow on his car, and JOY and HAPPY on the others parked next to him. Sometimes it’s the little things that make you stop and think how lovely life can be, even if you are stranded at home because of snow. We are sorry we had to close on Saturday & Sunday, but there was no way any of us could drive up Queen Anne hill safely. I am sure you all were preoccupied with playing in the snow and Valentines Day with your loved ones.

This week we are finally seeing some color at Meadow. We have more sweats, but never fear, they are in Spring colors which totally lifts my spirits! Although sweats have been the rage, you will be seeing more Spring pieces in the weeks to come as well. We can’t help but choose those comfy cozy sweats since we are spending time at home working. We love sporting other pieces that yell Spring. We also can grab other fashion to wear as well, sometimes that’s what makes us feel a bit more normal, whatever normal seems to be these days. It truly is all about whatever you feel makes you more comfortable in your own skin. Soft fabrics will not be going away any time soon so don’t worry about that.

REFLEX sweats have arrived and we are jam packed. The racks are overflowing! The colors are bright and happy with tie-dyes and solids. Plenty of mixing and matching can happen here. We know you are probably a little tired of sweats, but at least at Meadow they don’t break the bank, ranging from $26-$30. It’s unheard of for pullover and zipper hoodies to be so affordable.

PAPER CRANE was a new arrival this week with a few lighter weight pieces that will remind us that warmer weather is on the way.

TONYA crossbody from CLAUDIA G is my pick for this week with 2 different straps included and the option to purchase more straps that are all interchangeable. It’s all here for your viewing pleasure at the front of the boutique when you walk through our doors!

Stop by and see us at Meadow Boutique so we can find something special for you or a loved one. We appreciate your business and all of you from near and far that make an effort to support us. Thank you for always including us in your shopping excursions. We are honored you feel comfortable coming in to shop with us. We are all in this together so let’s remember that Spring is right around the corner! YAY! Put a little Spring in your step and make your way to Meadow this week! We look forward to seeing you. xoxoxo

Happy Day of Love!

This is after all Valentine’s Day weekend. It reminds us of the most important feeling in the world. LOVE. You feel it, you give, it, you show it, you treasure it. It is the ultimate gift and it’s lovely we set aside a day to remind us. We hope you can snuggle up with your loved ones as you pick through a box of chocolates or share a nice dinner with your significant other. For some self-care, you could take a nice hot bath in some rose petals, a glass of champagne and fragrant candles will totally set the mood for whatever your heart might desire! Love is in the air so breathe it in and feel the joy it can bring to your heart…..and then as the saying goes…. sprinkle that LOVE everywhere!

If you are needing some inspiration for things to do for Valentine’s Day, here are a few fun ideas that might get your heart skipping a beat and filling you up with Love.

Enjoy Breakfast in Bed - Go on a Hike - Exchange Love Letters - Plan a Movie Marathon - Have an Indoor Picnic - Sing Your Heart Out With Karaoke - Make Playlists for Each Other - Bake Something Sweet - Go For a Drive - Dip Everything in Chocolate - Head to the Ice Rink and if it snows this weekend, like they say its going to do in Seattle, then go outside and make some heart snow angels. Oh the beauty of Valentine hearts in a white blanket of snow. Hot cocoa anyone?

We have a whole boutique full of love for whoever enters. You can pretty much find whatever you need for that special someone. We have cards, candles, bath bombs, body butter, and every type of fashion for life in today’s world. We received a few pieces this week that will pair up nicely with the pieces from previous weeks or with what you already have in your beloved closets. Stop by and share the LOVE. We will be happy to help you find something for that special someone or better yet for you! My pick for the week is some pretty awesome Instagram worthy silver star tennis shoes. They will be perfect for every season and only at a $38 investment. Have a look at them below! You will want to have them in your wardrobe because they pair with everything you are wearing right now. Stop by and and say hello and let us share our LOVE with you by helping you find something that will make your heart sing. We have it here at Meadow, I guarantee it! Thank you as always for your support through these difficult times. We wish you lots of Love! xoxoxoxo

The Styling Of Sweats

Upon looking back at blog last year at this time, fashion was quite different. We were posting our new arrival of dresses and skirts and cute tops and bottoms. It was a whole different world just about a year ago in what we were wearing.

Surprise, surprise that sweatpants are selling like crazy right now. I hope you read that with a healthy dose of sarcasm because it's abundantly clear that the humble sweatpant has achieved worldwide fame. In light of current events, sweatpants and joggers have become our daily staples where jeans once were. Are you wearing sweats now? If not, are you thinking about the ones you’ll slip into as soon as you can? Either way, you probably don’t need to be told that this is the year of sweats. With the coronavirus pandemic limiting many people to their homes, and certainly cutting off the need for going-out clothes, it’s no surprise that people have been reaching for a soft elastic waistband in a hard world.

Vogue Magazine says, “All sweats are loungewear, but not all loungewear are sweats. Think of loungewear as the kingdom of clothing. Sweats are defined as a loose-fitting top and pants (often worn together but still valid apart) made from a soft, stretchy material, and accented with elastic, but not entirely spandex. Leggings are something different. As a not-so-casual observer of the category, we’ve identified a few subsets that emerged this past year and will surely continue this year. None were “invented” in 2020, but all have seen a spike in popularity over the past calendar year. And surely many more to come.“

The Matching Set - The shape is generally the same—a pair of pants with a drawstring and elastic cuffs on the ankles, lending a roomy, balloon-like shape. If a sweatsuit from 2020-21 is placed in a museum one day, it will be this variety.

Tie-Dye Sweats - Whether people were actually doing it themselves or not, it was inescapable—on masks, socks, and of course on sweats. The colors are so vibrant.

The Business on Top, Party on the Bottom - You get it…. something nice and comfy on the top and well, you decide what goes on the bottom. The sweat tops these days are beyond stylish. There is always something new happening to the sleeves and waistbands.

The Return of Velour - Not only is it right on time trend-wise, but it also checks the 2021 trend boxes. Is it comfortable? Yes. Is it eye-catching? Yes. Is it nostalgic? Boy, is it ever.

The Sweats for Evening - There’s something very charming about showing up to an event in sweatpants, using them like tailored trousers or jeans. Just throw on some heels and a jacket and you’re in a fashion forward look for the evening. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it, and I dare say that there was something a little edgy about wearing this look. It was really quite stylish!

Our new arrivals this week at Meadow are pretty much on point with what we described above. Our Boutique has many different kinds of REFLEX sweats available, but never fear, they have so much style, they might literally knock your socks off. We have matching sets in enough colors to mix and match with sweat bottoms or jeans or even your cute little pair of joggers. The sleeves on the CHERISH sweat tops have character, the waistbands have style, some hoodies are cropped and some are not. If we have succumbed to this new way to dress, then we couldn’t be happier with the way sweats are being styled! I am definitely trying to find ways to make them work in my wardrobe too. It’s pretty easy with the variety I have to chose from at Meadow Boutique. I am trying to decide which set I want to sport around the store with my white tennies. It took us a minute to realize sweats were the way it was going to be for awhile, so we stocked up so you would have a choice in the style and fit. We look forward to seeing you and helping you find that perfect style of sweats that will give you the comfort you deserve. After all, we are still in this together! xoxoxo

Love’s In Season

Well, January is on its way out already. WOW! How did that happen? It’s been pretty quiet, as all Januarys in retail seem to be. Now we are moving into February and that’s the month of LOVE and can we get an amen? Seems like a whole lot of Love would really make us feel better - from our friends, our neighbors, our kids, our husbands, everyone we come into contact with on a daily basis and strangers too, let’s add them. It sure would be better to feel all that love all around us, rather than the alternative. So if you want to feel love, you have to be able to give it, and here’s the catch, even to the people who are not so nice, they need it more than ever…….We know this will sound cliche’, but really LOVE makes the world go round! So open your heart and spread that love you have to give. The world is in desperate need of it. Even at home, you can choose to make February an entire month of love. Think of ways to bless the special people in your lives every day.

Speaking of Love, Shelley decided to shower the boutique with lots of Love by doing some rearranging. Since you are the special people in Meadow’s life, she felt that the boutique was in need of a little refreshing to start the season of Love off right! Stop by and see how refreshed the boutique looks now. All your favorite color coordinated pieces are still there but, perhaps in a different place. We know you will enjoy the change!

Our new arrivals are full of Love this week with splashes of color and cozy, warm fabrics. We can’t help but Love how sweatshirts have taken on a whole new look. They aren’t just plain Jane sweatshirts anymore. Lighter and brighter, you must have a look! There are ombre colored and some tie-dyed and with details that are very interesting. Words of Love are written on some of them like “Wild and Free” and “Hello Beautiful.” We also have a new style of overalls that pairs nicely with our new henley tops. Chris and Carol tops are back in stock and will definitely pull at your heart strings. We are still getting in some light sweaters with the full sleeves, so much character, if I may say so myself. We also received a delivery of Love masks with some new colors and patterns for adults and kids. Since self Love is so important, you might as well pick up a few. After all, this is the Season of Love! Stop by and let us shower you with all the fashion Love we can give. We are grateful for all of you who live near and far to stop by to support us. We couldn’t do it without you. That we know for sure. xoxoxoxo

Though I know I'll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know I'll often stop and think about them

Spring Dreams

As I sit here writing this blog, I find myself dreaming of Springtime in Seattle. Those exquisite pastel colors you see in the flowers at Pike Place Market. It feels like I have come alive when I see them displayed and ready for one to take home. I love doing this blog and sharing all the fashion that Shelley purchases. Although it happens rarely with shipping, sometimes the new arrivals don’t get here on time for the blog. This is one of those weeks, we are sorry to say. Next week will be jammed packed with photos of new arrivals! We promise! Until then, don’t hesitate to stop by and see if there is some fashion piece you need to brighten your day. It’s time to crawl out of that heavy weight we have been carrying for the past 10 months and give our lives some meaning. Times are changing and we can only hope it will be for the better. In saying that, does your wardrobe reflect how you are feeling right now?

“The way we dress has a correlation with our emotional state,” says Elizabeth Beecroft, an LMSW based in New York. “If we’re looking a bit crusty, in the same outfit we’ve worn the last few days, that has an impact on how we feel either in general or about ourselves.” We’re currently in a time where we may feel isolated, less connected, and alone. “It could become really easy to not have the motivation to want to get out of our pajamas or just simply due to being in the comfort of our living room not feeling it’s necessary.”

When we take time in the morning to shower and put on clean clothes (yes, comfy clothes are included) we tend to feel more put-together, confident, and ready to take on the day. And this can help us show up better in life and be more focused, even from the comfort of the couch. Putting on an outfit in the morning releases neurotransmitters in our brains including dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and endorphins, sparking a sense of purpose. These chemicals naturally boost our mental state, which is necessary during tough times.

Create a daily schedule of how you'll spend your time. Set your alarm and wake up at the same time every day (except weekends) and get your body moving. Either exercise first thing in the morning then get showered and dressed or head straight to getting ready for the day before you pick up any technology or turning on the news. For those working from home, a routine can help people separate their “home life” from their “work life.”

There’s also an opportunity to have some fun with your style. Try new outfits you normally wouldn’t wear (no one will see anyway!), be silly, be bold. Make it fun for yourself and something to look forward to. If you’re feeling uninspired with your wardrobe try identifying one piece you're into and building off of that. There are no rules, especially in the confines of one's home. And for those WFH video conferences... keep it business up top and party down low. Nobody has to know. What better time than now to try something new? We've just set out on an ambitious quest to elevate our sweatpants.

We hope this gives you some things to think about in regards to how you are managing your wardrobe right now. Stop by Meadow and let us help you elevate your sweatpants and find you something bold or a piece you can build on! We got you covered and as always we look forward to seeing you! It has been said that our best days still lie ahead. We believe that. We believe in you, our customers. Thank you for your support, we value it now more than ever. xoxoxo

“Nothing makes a woman more beautiful than the belief that she is beautiful.” ~ Sophia Loren

Simple But Fashionable

It’s pretty simple these days in the world of fashion, for sure. With people working at home and not going out much, our clothes have become quite easy to wear and well, pretty casual. The casual wear now has us longing for the days when we had the opportunity to dress up for something….anything. I believe it is truly a state of mind when it comes to what we are going to wear for the day. The question is what can we wear that is simple, but still makes us feel better all over.

This is what Who What Wear has to say about these comfy times. When you’re ready to shop in 2021, here are some fashion pieces you might want to pick up for yourself, all in the spirit of keeping it simple! Meadow seems to be right in line with these trends!

1. Comfortable footwear is key, and that's why a cushy clog is at the top of the list. The silhouette is trend-forward and will make for a great house shoe option. (Meadow has some comfy slip-ons)

2. Tailoring for 2021 gets even more relaxed. The idea of a fresh oversize blazer to enhance my WFH (working from home) vibes when you need to be more dressed up for Zoom meetings feels so right. (Meadow has 2 blazers that came in this week in black and winter white)

3. While we personally wear skinny jeans on the regular (often darker washes), those light-wash styles in loose cuts feel incredibly modern. (Meadow has some great skinny looks by Kan Kan and Vervet as well as loose cuts and bell bottom jeans)

4. Faux-leather separates will continue to increase in popularity in 2021 as a simple way to elevate any look. we love the idea of faux-leather trousers with a trendy basic like a sweater vest. (Meadow has some black faux leather snake skin leggings that are quite stylish)

5. In terms of outerwear, you can't beat a stylish puffer coat. We’re especially loving those styles in neutral hues. (Meadow has 2 puffer coats in the boutique right now - navy and winter white)

6. Sweatsuits have become a staple in our rotation, and we’re looking forward to shopping for stylish knit sets as well to bring a chic spin to our at-home uniforms. (Meadow is full of sweat styles that are comfy and cozy from plain and simple to fun and fashionable)

We adore you, and while we know January can feel a bit sluggish, come on in and let us help you get some inspiration going. Before you know it Spring will be here. If you are a Dreamers Sweaters lover, the 4 pastel colors that came in this week will get you very inspired! Another trend that has continued to dominate this year has been pastel tones. These sorbet-inspired colors are the perfect option for Spring and they suit a wide variety of skin tones.

Thanks for keeping it real with us and sharing how you feel about all that is happening in the world right now. On that note, we shall stick to our theme of keeping it “Simple” and let you view some of the new arrivals that came in this week to add to our already simple fashion friendly pieces. Have a look and don’t get too discouraged about things being casual. You have the opportunity everyday to create your look. Somedays we feel like casual and other days we feel like taking it up a notch - we have both styles for you at Meadow. We look forward to seeing you soon. xoxoxoxo

Gray Days Change To Color At Meadow

Rain, Rain go away - come again an other day! It’s Winter in Seattle, although our temperatures are pretty mild, we have rain at this time of year, well, with some sun breaks now and then. The days are gray and oh so wet. We have to force ourselves to go out and live our lives and make the best of these kinds of days. Arghhh. In the past, this is the time we would be thinking about taking a little Winter break to Hawaii or someplace warmer and sunnier to break up the next few months in Seattle. Now we are staying put while we have the promise of a vaccine in our future. I am certain that 2021 will get better as the year goes on. We can do this - we are in this together! We always have been, as we know from experience we are constantly being tested. The spirit of the Queen Anne community has given us hope and that is good enough for us right now.

Meadow Boutique looks out the window and sees gray too, but we are optimistic with all the colors we have inside. Beautiful hues of warmth, but brighter and kinder. We still have pieces to keep you warm and cozy through this transitional time. You will be happy with what you find here. Sweaters are a little bit lighter in color and texture. Makes us feel like there will be a Spring at some point, so why not have a few colors that make us feel better all over! I was feeling it the other day at Meadow with the door open on a 52 degree day. Such a tease with our weather patterns!

This week we have some delightful colors of some lighter weight sweaters from Allie Rose and some sweatshirts and sweatpants sets from Reflex. The sweaters have great textured lines and one has curly-cue ribbing on the sleeves and buttons in the back. Oh how we love this unique piece. Sweats have been a staple in our closets since last March. They are warm and cozy and some are even spiffy enough for a Zoom meeting. The colors are not your basic grays anymore. They are mustard and cocoa and brick and army green and sea blue. Love the names. The sweatpants are different styles which can suit anyone’s taste. We are still in lounge mode, working from home, spending time at home, just plain cozy attire. We have all you need at Meadow Boutique. Come in and see us this week. We are excited to help you find fashion that makes you feel good all over during these gray days.

Don’t let those gray days get you down. It’s outside, not inside where life is full of color and hope for this beautiful New Year. We are here for you - today and everyday! We look forward to seeing your smiling eyes very soon. So get out that umbrella and make your way to us! xoxoxo

Happy New Year to You!

The end of 2020 has come and gone, and for most of us, the festivities looked quite a bit different than they had before. You’ve heard the advice: Lose 25 pounds. Improve your relationship with your mother. Give up sugar and wrap your ankle behind your head in yoga class. While these are all laudable goals, they’re pretty ambitious. Reaching too high (especially in a pandemic!) can set you up for disappointment, ensuring that any resolutions will be toast. Let’s not go there. There are lots of small, simple things you can do to make a big impact on your overall health and preserve your peace of mind no matter what 2021 looks like.

First things first. YOU! Don’t forget to take care of YOU. Taking care of you in 2021 needs to be at the top of your list! Most of us know that we should be practicing self-care, but when it comes to implementing it into our daily lives we struggle. While you may be juggling several priorities at once, it often leads to leaving your own needs at the bottom of your to-do list. Sure, your once-in-a-blue-moon social outings, salon appointments, and gym sessions might be considered self-care, but at its core self-care is about regular activities that help you recharge and make you feel good. If you’re not making time for daily self-care, you’re more likely to feel stressed, unfulfilled and overwhelmed. Becoming the best version of yourself involves taking care of your mind, body, and soul. When you take care of yourself, you give yourself the fuel you need to show up as the best version of yourself in your everyday life.

Meadow Boutique wants to take care of you and your fashion needs. Having a new outfit for whatever the day brings can change your whole outlook on how the day transpires. Believe me when I tell you we have it all on the racks here. We cater to women from 18-80 and we enjoy every minute of it. You have come in this holiday season and indulged so generously for others, now it’s time for you to indulge in yourself. This week, our new arrivals are more sweaters with lots of character, textures and transitioning colors. Pieces are still soft as ever, which we all love. Nature denim has finally come out with black button fly jeans and Risen denim has adorned us with wide leg jeans, that are oh so fashionable. New this week is black scalloped edged slip-ons. Dibs - already on hold for me! We also have a new corduroy short jacket that has that puffy look to it. Really interesting and quite fashion forward! Love! We have earrings that were late coming for the holiday so they are here for the New Year! Some of these sparkly posts come in sets of 3 and others are pets we all love. So darn cute. There is still so much to buy for yourself for this New Year! This is your time to take care of you and we will help you with that in any way we can.

So, pick a little color to add to your life this New Year. Venture out into some reds, corals, blues. In the coming weeks, as always, there will be new pieces for you to chose from. If I have said this once, I have said it a million times - hurry while supplies last. The smalls go quickly so call and reserve that perfect item if it’s something you love and cannot live without. We are here for you and just like in 2020 - we are still in this together! Count on us.

Just a friendly reminder that as the New Year comes in, Shelley likes to SALE out the old and bring in the new. There will be many items on our SALE rack marked down in the coming weeks, almost half off. There is also “last call” bins for $10 of small, medium and large clothing items. You never know what little treasures you may find at Meadow. You might want to grab some holiday items that are on sale for 50% off too! Put that sparkle back in your eyes and purchase something that you really love and will inspire you to take care of yourself regularly in this New Year.

Drop by this weekend to celebrate the New Year with us. Find something for your closet that brings you joy. We will be looking forward to seeing you in 2021!

Happy Holidays!

By the time you receive this blog post it will be December 25. Hopefully your morning will be full of love and excitement if St. Nick is someone who visited your home. We believe that the time spent with your family this year will be very special, no matter how you celebrate. We honor your beliefs as we have always honored you, our customer. This year has been full of ups and downs and we have taken that ride together. Just when we thought the year was taking forever to get through, well, here we are in its final days.

We cannot begin to express the gratitude we have felt this week by you all supporting Meadow Boutique. You made a point to shop local. You asked others to shop with us. Our gift cards were on your list. And even your husbands were sent in to find that special gift. Your significant other expressed that their wives loved Meadow Boutique and they were going to buy something here. We hope now, after they have visited the boutique, that they understand why. We heard over and over again that they loved our prices. This is great for all of you ladies that love to shop with us. We have a sneaking suspicion that they will never question your purchases with us again! Oh Joy!

We hope that all your gift giving was successful and well received. If for some reason the gifts you purchased are not the right size, color, etc, you may return with an exchange or store credit 2 weeks post Christmas. The credit never expires. The items on the SALE rack are final sale. We have new items coming in every week, so we are sure you will find something that will make you happy. Let us help you find something that compliments you, your personality and your body type. That is so much fun for us!

As we move closer to the end of the year, we wish all the best to you and your families. We hope the New Year will bring a new sense of purpose for us all. There will be a new leader, a new vaccine and a New Year with endless possibilities for each of us that will hopefully start making things more tolerable. Will things ever be the same? Nope, not a chance, but what we all have learned from 2020 is extraordinary. We have learned new ways for everything we do in our daily lives, and we have done it together.

The only days we are closed are Christmas and New Years Day. We are here for you and we will always be, you can count on us through thick and thin. Thank you again for being there for us and helping us to stay afloat during some challenging times. We are truly moved by your generosity. Many blessing to you and yours as you reflect and plan for the New Year! xoxoxox

Meadow Celebrates Founder, Shelley Hall

I wanted to take the opportunity to acknowledge the fact that because of Shelley Hall, owner of Meadow Boutique, and you our customers, this cute little place we all love to shop, turned 11 years old on December 6, 2020.

Meadow is a sophisticated and girly boutique full of stylish clothing, jewelry, gifts and home accessories. Step into this whimsical shop and we promise you will swoon over the hand selected items. Whether you’re looking for sweet gifts and accessories, a chic casual look, or a fancy outfit for a night out, we’ve got you covered. You are sure to walk out with unique pieces, perfectly suited for you. The boutique is charming, bright and peaceful, just as you would find a serene meadow!

Here’s a little history for you!

Seattle Magazine | September 2012 | Shelley Hall | photo credit: Christine Cox

“Meadow Boutique opened in December of 2009 and has been owned and operated since by its founder, Shelley Hall. Prior to being an adorable neighborhood shop, the space was used for 19 years as a children's art studio called "Color Wheel." The construction and renovation for Meadow didn't take long thanks to the help of Shelley's father and contractor, Bruce Hall. The store is a culmination of Shelley's extensive retail background and her dream of owning her own shop. Meadow was designed to create a welcoming and enjoyable place to shop and has definitely lived up to its intent. Meadow is located in the quaint little neighborhood of Queen Anne in Seattle.” ~ Meadow Boutique Website

"But above everything else, customers love Shelley. She frequently works in the store and knows the name of all the neighborhood clients. Over the years, she has built relationships with the community her boutique is in. So it’s no surprise she knows every dog’s name that enters Meadow (yes, the boutique is dog-friendly). Shelley is patient and kind, she listens to what her customers say about the clothing they buy; she caters to what the community wants. It’s the personal touch that can be felt all throughout the store that makes Meadow a place you want to come back to time and again. Customers rave about the selection and the atmosphere Shelley has created. It feels like a place of gathering, a place of community, and the number of regular customers proves that more than any other statistic." ~ Yuliya Rae

I don’t think I told you anything you don’t already know about Shelley or Meadow Boutique. You all have been so kind as to always support this cute little place. Shelley always says the reason we are still here and flourishing in the Queen Anne community is because of you. We are so grateful to be here through all that has been happening in the world. You have enriched our lives in so many ways! We can hardly wait for the coming year and all it has to offer. We are all in this together and we are happy to be in your company.

We are looking forward to seeing you in the coming week before the holiday. We have everything you need for those special gifts. We have some fun sweatshirts, with cats, dogs, birds and starlight animals. There are a couple of dresses, one velvety green and the other polka-dot, some velvety tops and a few sweaters that arrived this week. We have a new jewelry line called Findings. The earrings are repurposed with vintage earring pieces….LOVE! Like I have said before, we have so much merchandise to choose from. It will be fun for you to do your shopping with us in such a lovely atmosphere. We are so excited to see you and hear about your holiday festivities! Our hearts are singing thinking about it! We will see you soon! Sharing this season together is the greatest gift of all….. May this holiday season be filled with laughter, joy, and peace.

The Magic of the Season at Meadow Boutique

The magic of the season has definitely been a bit different this year. We have seen many familiar faces in the boutique and lots of new faces as well that have just discovered us. We are very touched by all of you supporting local and we are happy we are on that list. The generosity of this community is so inspiring, we are proud to be in your company! Our hearts are full and the season of giving is in full swing with joy and love, and we are so lucky to be surrounded by it. Many of you have expressed pure happiness for the year to end and others have shared what they have learned through 2020. We can’t begin to tell you the amazing conversations we have had with many of you about all this year has been to you and your families. The ups, the downs and the realizations from within for all of us. But yet through it all, we celebrate the holidays and the good tidings that bring us great joy.

If you need to lift your spirits, the Lights of Christmas presents a Drive-Thru Christmas as a wonderful way to experience the magic of Christmas this year. Billed as "The Largest Christmas Festival in the Pacific Northwest," The Lights of Christmas is about an hour north of Seattle and takes place on select days from Nov. 27-Dec. 30. The drive-through event this year features more than 1 million lights and the chance to wave to Mr. and Mrs. Claus. Admission is $20-$25 per car. So pack up the car and take a drive and enjoy this beautiful light show. It is well worth it and if this doesn’t get you in the mood for the holidays, I don’t know what will! Viewing Christmas lights in my childhood, is still fresh in my mind, those glittering lights, wow, they make me feel so nostalgic. It's still was one of my favorite things to do with my family during Christmas. It’s truly the simple things that we always will remember. What are your traditions for you and your family? Come on in and tell us all about it!

Now let’s get down to gift giving! Meadow Boutique is full of gifts you can give to the loved ones on your list. Or better yet, for yourself - you know, one for them, one for me! “I see nothing wrong with buying gifts for others and then a few for myself.” “My family is terrible at gift giving so I am doing it for them.” “I am just buying a few things for me, wrapping them and putting them under the tree.” These are sentiments we have heard all week. You have created so much fun during this holiday season, so we think no one needs an excuse to buy themselves a gift at Meadow Boutique, no matter how you celebrate!

There are sweatshirts and sweaters and dresses. There are scarves, and hats, and socks on the way. There are so many great pieces to snuggle up in and drink that hot tottie or hot chocolate by the fire. Fashion right now is about comfort and soft fabrics. I have to say ladies, there are some exquisite bralettes for this holiday season too. In velvet and lace and even some with tattooed backs. OO LA LA. These beautiful pieces will light that spark within…….if you know what I mean! There are candles and cards and note pads with lovely patterns, so pleasing to the eye. For those small little girlfriends, cute little colorful gifts like barrettes and unicorn pens along with necklaces and bracelets. So keep on coming in to see us, because as you know, there is new inventory to be had every week, and we don’t want you to miss a thing! Thank you for being part of our Holiday Festivities. We hope to help make your list a little lighter and bring a smile to your face (behind that mask of course) along the way!

“The Joy of brightening other lives, bearing each others’ burdens, easing each other’s loads and supplanting empty hearts and lives with generous gifts becomes for us the magic of the holidays.” – W. C. Jones

Tis’ the Season to be Jolly

Fa la la la la la la la la. Don we now our gay apparel. Fa la la la la la la la la………Are you singing with me? Just can’t stop singing those Holiday songs. It’s time to get in a festive mood.

It’s really been a challenge this year, but we have to end it on a good note. Through all the trials and tribulations, we are still here, we are healthy, our family is in tact, we made it through and we are all here to tell about it, someday, when it feels right. Just think, you now have a mask to match each outfit and “stylish” and “comfy” have become your middle name. Social distancing is now considered the new way to Love. We are slowing down and putting less pressure on ourselves. We are spending more time in Nature. Working from home is now an option. We are finding more time to exercise. We have taken up cooking more vegetarian than meat eating and baking has become our new creative flow. We are donating more to charitable causes, trying harder to reduce our carbon footprint, and engaging in more political activism. It’s important to note that if you don’t emerge from this pandemic with any great new habits, that is absolutely all right. Sometimes surviving is an accomplishment in itself. Let’s take a moment of silence and bow our heads to remember those families who have lost a loved one from this pandemic, may they find peace and love during this time.

Meadow Boutique has got you covered for all your holiday gift giving that you will give to yourself and to your loved ones. We have all the perfect apparel to calm your nerves and create some Joy! Come in and browse your way around the store. Sometimes you will have the Meadow space to yourself and other times you may share it, but with no more that 5 people. As always your safely is important to us and if you don’t feel comfortable coming into the store, just give us a call and we can have it beautifully packed and ready to hand it off at the door. We will do it with love and care! Please count on us to respect your needs.

This week we have a some versatile sweater dresses that accessories will spruce up quite nicely or a cute pair of boots or shoes that will change the look completely! There is a wide variety of sweaters to put you in the mood for this holly, jolly season. We have some ornaments that will tickle your fancy, with candles and diffusers and little gifty items. You really have to make your way around the store at least 3 times to see all we have on the racks right now. I was able to find exactly what I need and put some outfits together for my upcoming festivities, albeit at my home with my husband. I am going to look good and in turn, somehow it makes me feel good too. It’s the whole package that will have you shedding that old grinch attitude you might have woke up with this morning! Have a laugh, have a cry, the year is almost over!! It's Christmas! You will hear music in the background at Meadow and smell a candle burning to get you in the shopping mood. Ask us to put some outfits together for you or help you find the perfect gift for someone you love. It’s so much fun for us to have the opportunity do that for you. It’s the best way for us to ring in this Holiday Season. Shelley has made sure that we are on trend and our fashion is timeless! Truly, there is something for any age at Meadow Boutique.

Before we go, there is one more thing we want you to know. Because of YOU - our Small Business Saturday was a huge success. We were absolutely delighted to see you and support you like YOU have supported us throughout the years. It truly brings tears to our eyes how you ventured in and were able to put a dent in your gift giving list. We ARE here because of YOU. We have said it before and we are saying it again. We are truly grateful to be part of the Queen Anne Community. You enrich our lives everyday. We have been through this year together and with all that is happening in the world, we are grateful to have you! As we head into year 12, we know that there is nothing we can’t do to help each other. Thank you. Thank you and thank you again. Words don’t seem to be enough, but we hope that our actions have shown you how much we care about your shopping experience with us. We look forward to helping you with all your holiday needs. You mean the world to us and boy, aren’t you glad we had each other in 2020? We certainly are!

Go ahead, get cozy by the fire, grab some hot cocoa and hum along while I sing. Ready?

Have yourself a merry little Christmas, let your heart be light. From now on, our troubles will be out of sight…………. Awww, we really do make a good team!

Small Business Saturday - Shop Local

We hope that your Thanksgiving was full of joy, love and laughter! Although this Thanksgiving was probably different than in the past, being with our loved ones will always be in the forefront of who we are, no matter what is happening in the world!

Now we move into the Holiday Season. Let the shopping begin! Small Business Saturday is a day dedicated to supporting small businesses and communities across the country. Founded by American Express in 2010, this day is celebrated each year on the Saturday after Thanksgiving. The goal of Small Business Saturday is to remind consumers that they play a key role in helping the small businesses in their community thrive, and encourage them to get out and shop and dine at local businesses.

You might not realize it, but every time you pick up a cup of coffee from your favorite neighborhood cafe or buy a gift from a local artist's online store, you're shopping small and making a difference. This is a big deal right now for the state of the economy.

Dollars spent with corporate chains quickly fly out of our local economy and don’t come back. Buying locally by consumers, businesses, and local government grows our local economy because of the powerful local multiplier effect. When you spend $100 with a local, independent business, most of that money stays here, paying for local services, supplies, staff, and sometimes inventory. Those businesses then spend most of that money with other local businesses, and so on. Your $100 has just multiplied, each transaction creating on average three times more income, jobs, and wealth for your community. It not only makes intuitive sense, but study after study verifies this powerful contrast.

So we ask that you support our cute little shop, Meadow Boutique on Saturday, November 28. Bring your friends and introduce them to us and do some fun little shopping. We would not be in business without you through these trying times. We ARE in business because of you. Think about that for a moment. Every time you come in and buy from us we have the opportunity of getting to know you, what colors you like, your style, and most of all your smile! Your support for local businesses, makes this lovely community what it is today. We are so grateful to be part of the Queen Anne community.

Your safety is very important to us at Meadow Boutique!

If you have been shopping with us, you know that keeping you safe with all the restrictions of COVID is in the forefront of our business. Keeping our prices reasonable is always what keeps you coming in to see what’s new. You know that we will always make sure our customers needs come first. We are so grateful that some of our customers have become our friends. This is a beautiful thing after 11 years in the Queen Anne community. Nothing makes our heart sing more than chatting it up with you about your families and your children and just plain life.

So, on Small Business Saturday we look forward to seeing you. We have so many items that you have seen in the past blog posts still available with a few new surprises that came in this week. Come in and see for yourself! We know you have plenty of holiday shopping to do for all those special people on your list. Meadow Boutique can help you with that. Thank you in advance for your support. “We are all in this together” and you have shown us that time and time again. Let’s insure that the rest of 2020 is full of that giving spirit we all possess. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for allowing us to be part of your community!

Please make note of our Holiday hours: Tuesday - Thursday 11am-5pm Friday & Saturday 11am-6pm Sunday 12pm-5pm.

Make Small Business Saturday a success in your community! Shop Meadow Boutique! We Are All In This Together!

The Feast of Fashion At Meadow

Can you believe we are about to head into the holiday season now? Where has this year gone? I remember when it was March and we were anticipating the beauty of Spring and then time stood still for a bit. This is the time of year for gratitude and thankfulness as 2020 comes to a close. We know this year has been tough and it is going to take some soul searching to really find things that we can be thankful for. “Resilience” is our middle name. We have proven it over and over through the ages of time.

Every year at this time I find a large jar and decorate it with so many pretty things that make me feel good, like beautiful flowers and colorful ribbon. I buy some interesting paper notes for the year, and write something down everyday that I am grateful for. It can be anything. There is no right or wrong, just something that makes your heart sing that day. Thus the “Gratitude Jar.” This is a great project to do with your family and friends. Kids really love doing this project! You can make an evening of it. I guarantee this will be one of the most enjoyable projects you will do and it can become a ritual. When I am feeling down or sad, I pull one of my notes out of the jar and read what I wrote….it brings me back to being grateful all over again. At the end of the year, I read through them and remember what made me feel grateful each day. Studies have shown regular expressions of gratitude can decrease blood pressure, reduce anxiety and depression, and even help you sleep better. So take a drive to your closest craft store and pick up all the necessary materials to make your Gratitude Jar! I promise you will wonder why you didn’t start one sooner. Watch the attitude of gratitude change your household!

What are some things we grateful for at Meadow, you ask? Here are some thoughts that come to mind:

We are grateful our families & Friends

We are grateful for our good health

We are grateful for our furry friends

We are grateful for the beautiful outdoors

We are grateful we are all in this together

We are grateful for our customers

We are grateful for your support for the past 11 years

Meadow Boutique is full - I mean every rack is full of gorgeous sweaters (more Dreamers just came in), tops, shackets and coats. We have made room for hats, gloves, scarves, handbags, boots and gift items too. We are loving the pairing of hats and scarves with each outfit. So nice and warm! I haven’t seen this much product since I started working here. So come in this week and let us help you put together some Fall outfits that will work for your Thanksgiving feast. Meadow has outfits to chose from that you will feel comfortable in all day long, no matter how much you eat. It’s all about feeling cozy and warm in all these wonderful soft fabrics and materials.

Have a look below and see if any of these outfits are your style. If so, come on in and let us help you with sizes and the pieces that you love. We want you to be happy, every time you walk through our doors. During this Holiday Season it is our pleasure to serve you and make sure you are happy with each and every purchase and exchange you have with us. We are tickled pink to have you as our amazing customers. Gratitude and Thankfulness come to mind when we think of you. May your week be filled with love and joy as you spend time with your families. Be safe dear friends and eat, drink and be merry to your hearts content! Don't forget to wear your mask! We are all in this together!

“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” ~ Lao Tzu

Kindness & Fashion-Our Passion

With all that is happening in the world, it’s time to take a minute and think about how we can be kind to each other. I think most of us get caught up in our own lives and the daily busyness that we put on ourselves, forgetting that the simplest of things can make the most significant impact on someone else. Which leads us to World Kindness Day. Although we should be kind to people 365 days a year, November 13th encourages people all over the country to be altruistic to friends, colleagues, and yes, strangers. We should all use this day to bring a smile to someone’s face without expecting anything in return. World Kindness Day is a global day that promotes the importance of being kind to each other, to yourself, and to the world. It has the purpose is to help everyone understand that compassion for others is what binds us all together. Acts of kindness can range from a small compliment to an inspiring gesture that could be life changing. This understanding has the power to bridge the gap between nations.

Here are only 7 simple ways to practice Kindness in your daily life!

1. Send an uplifting text to a friend or family member

2. Let the guy merge into traffic with a wave & a smile

3. Include intentional moments of kindness, laughter and delight in your daily routine

4. Go slightly out of your comfort zone at least once a day to make someone smile

5. Share a compliment with a co-worker or friend

6. Reach to a family member you haven’t spoken to in a while

7. Treat someone to a cup of coffee ( a friend, a stranger or even yourself)

And while you are practicing all this Kindness, stop by and say hello to us at Meadow Boutique. We want to share in all that Kindness with you. There’s nothing better than being around people who genuinely care about the welfare of others. Like we do at Meadow. We care everyday how your experience is shopping with us. You certainly have showed us how much you care by supporting us during 2020. Kindness rules!

So let’s get right to all of our new arrivals. So many of you have come in to see all the new pieces and if you are new to us, you are in awe of all there is to chose from for your wardrobe. This week we have added a few little holiday dresses and some great sweaters with those fun balloon sleeves. We have lengths from cropped to longer lengths. Colors like Fall and softness like a furry kitten. What could be better? Since the weather has gotten cooler, we have had many customers come in and look for jeans. Meadow has many to chose from with an order on the way to fill the needs of those popular sizes. Nature - $45, Kan Kan - $52, Vervet - $52 and AOS - $64 are our most popular and all under $100. It’s jean season friends, so why not have a few spares around for those prices? It’s time to gather up some cute hats and scarves for the winter season right around the corner. We have a variety of different jackets that are also looking for home. Meadow has some cute little gifts for friends and family like candles, tea towels and we have just expanded or jewelry selection! We have exactly what you are looking for! Come on in with your pumpkin lattes and browse the boutique. Bring your kids and your dogs, because we accept every part of your family at Meadow! We will be waiting for you! We even have dog treats.

Kindness is our passion, just as much as Fashion. We are looking forward to seeing you very soon to kick off the final chapter of 2020! YAY! Stay safe dear friends.

“I shall pass through this world but once. Any good, therefore, that I can do or any kindness I can show to any human being, let me do it now. Let me not defer it or neglect it, for I shall not pass this way again.” ~ Stephen Grellet

November Chills & Thrills

As the November winds sweep in and blow and twirl the leaves from the trees all along the streets, Meadow Boutique receives 8 boxes of new arrivals. I know, because I was there unpacking them. It was election day, and people were of course home, glued to their TV’s. Perfect day for me to get everything unpacked, priced, steamed and hung up so you can have a good long look when you decide to come up for air. The colors inside Meadow are the same as the leaves outside! Gorgeous! If you can’t find something to wear for this season then you haven’t looked hard enough. It will take you at least 3 times around the boutique to see all the beautiful sweaters, tops, jackets, scarves, hats and everything in between. You will have to go through every rack and slowly touch each piece to see everything we have right now. Don’t worry we don’t care how long you take. We are always happy to see your smiling eyes. I didn’t think all of the pieces would fit on the racks, but to my surprise they magically did! Oh joy, Oh rapture I am in what we call “Fashion Heaven” and thats a fun, yet dangerous place to be, given my shopping history.

Now what do we have that will tickle your fancy? Oh my goodness, well you can see below for yourselves. I am so impressed by Shelley’s choices. She certainly is up on all the trends. The beauty of our inventory is that any age can wear what is in style right now. It’s all fun filled with luscious fabrics, soft to the touch. We need to feel comfortable in our own skin, right? Then why not have this clothing right up next to your lovely bodies? It also does not matter if you are a small, medium or large. We can’t tell you how many times we have heard that you have 15 pounds of COVID on your body. Who cares, this too shall pass and you might as well look good in the meantime. We are all in this together!

Sometimes we may see something on a hanger and not really feel it will look good on us, but we think it’s a nice piece. Think again….. I have NEVER seen fashion that looks better on a hanger than it does on a beautiful body. So I say try it, what do you have to lose? I bring this to your attention because it has happened to me. Voila, I finally am willing to try something on and I am ready to sign autographs like a movie star! You can feel that way too when you find the perfect piece and you will, I know you will. If for some strange reason you can’t, please, please, please ask for our help. We are well versed in putting things together. I was a personal shopper and visual merchandiser for Nordstrom in my other life and Shelley, well, she has had Meadow Boutique under her wing for 11 years. You need jeans? She is the “Jean Queen,”and that is only one of her many talents in fashion. Just look at the choices you have to pick from every week. Yep, that’s all Shelley! Seasonal goods are here as well. We think that all good cheer should maybe start a little early this year. We have started receiving a wide assortment of candles, holiday tea towels, cards, ornaments and small little gift items to take to any social distanced gathering around the holidays, or to bring joy to those who are near and dear to your heart. This year especially, receiving a gift is meaning so much more than ever before.

We just want you to know that you are in good hands at Meadow! So come on in and let us take you away from all the hustle & bustle of COVID, elections, life, work, kids and all that is happening in the world, albeit for a small amount of time. We enjoy your company, we enjoy your support. You make it all worthwhile for us. Truly! We are so grateful we have each other! At this very moment, that seems to be something we can all hold onto……..so hold tight because the rest of the year is a very short ride ahead and we are almost to the other side. The year of 2021 is close at hand. Can I get an AMEN?

November is National Gratitude Month, so here’s a meaningful quote for the week!

“Gratitude turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos into order, confusion into clarity...it makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.” ~ Melody Beattie
