Spring Cleaning

March 25, 2022 Shelley Hall

Spring is a time for renewal, growth, and expansion; we feel it in the air. Even though we can do this at any time during the year, it feels just right to do it during Spring. We seem to have that extra energy and focus to get physically active, take action, and create change. Once you get your rugs vacuumed and your bathroom floors scrubbed, there’s one big task on your cleaning to-do list left. It’s the task of tasks, the peak of the tidiness mountain: Spring cleaning your closet. Time to get rid of the old and bring in some new lighter, brighter colors. As we transition into Spring, have a look at the pieces you still want to wear and the ones you are on the fence about, just bag them up.

In our opinion, it’s about the worst chore there is to do. It’s time-consuming, requires quite a bit of effort, and there’s no way to cut any corners—but the reward makes it all worth it. There’s nothing like opening your closet to a space that’s organized and has all of your clothes on full display, and nothing you don’t wear anymore in the way of what you want to grab.

The key to the closet of your dreams starts with cleaning out the one you already have. It’s go time. Thus, “The Ultimate Guide to Spring Cleaning” by The EveryGirl

Step 1: Get in the zone - Before you dive in, take the time to set yourself up for success. Queue up a playlist that you love to sing along to, light a candle, and make yourself a coffee. Also, have whatever you’re planning on putting your “to be donated” and “to be tossed” clothes in handy and clearly labeled—be it a garbage bag or cardboard boxes. Also, keep storage handy so you can pack away your seasonal clothes that you won’t be wearing for a while.

Step 2: Start purging - When you’re in this phase of cleaning, it’s so important to actually try things on during the process—especially things you’re unsure about. You know the jeans that fit you like a glove and the ones that tend to sit at the bottom of the pile consistently untouched, which means a try-on could help you make your final decision. The same goes for things you haven’t touched in a while. You could have every plan to wear that top that still has the tags on that you bought two summers ago, but could try it on and realize that it doesn’t even fit you anymore.

Step 3: Put seasonal items in storage - It’s important to put your seasonal clothes into some perspective while you’re purging. However you choose to store your seasonal clothes, wait until the very end to actually put them in storage—you never know what you’re going to decide to add or subtract from the pile until you’re actually done sorting through everything.

Step 4: Consider the one-year rule - We have big hopes and dreams for many items in our wardrobe that unfortunately just never come to fruition. It’s painful to have to get rid of things that we feel haven’t lived up to their potential, but the reality is this: If you haven’t worn something in a year or more, you aren’t going to (save for special occasion wear, obviously). For the future, a good rule of thumb is to begin the year with all of your clothes hung on a hanger facing away from you. Every time you use something, flip the hanger around. Then, it’ll be obvious which clothes you touched throughout the year and which you didn’t, because some hangers will be in their original position.

Step 5: Organize the keepers - Once you’ve decided which pieces are staying and which are going, decide which method would be best for organizing them. Maybe you need to order some organization items to put them in later, and that’s OK. For now, fold everything neatly and hang things in a logical order. Since you now have less to deal with, organizing everything in a way that’s accessible and easy to see will make you feel like you have a whole new wardrobe.

After you have done some Spring cleaning, you’ll want to see what’s new at Meadow Boutique so you can add some lovely new pieces to your wardrobe.

DOUBLE ZERO, BE COOL, DOE & RAE and JEN & CO are bringing you new hues for Spring. This week we have some light jackets and cardigans that will become a new staple in your wardrobe. There are some button up short sleeve tops that can have double duty as an add on for a sleeves dress, jumpsuit, etc. The wallet handbags are back in an array of hues; perfect for a pop of color with any outfit. We still have some amazing pieces from previous weeks that are Spring-like that you might not have been quite ready for…still here and waiting to be added to your Spring collection. There are many styles of jeans and they just keep coming, so stop in and get yourself a pair while supplies last.

On a happy note, we have been so thrilled to see your faces again, all smiles with a “Spring” in your step. (pardon the pun, I couldn’t help myself). It’s been so long since we have seen each others full, beautiful faces. You all look stunning and you have weathered the pandemic very well. We see that some of you are wearing masks and some are not. If for any reason you would like us to wear a mask while you are in the store, please let us know as we are happy to oblige. Our goal is to always make sure our customers feel safe in our presence. That’s it for this week! We look forward to helping you add to your Spring wardrobe when you are ready. Until then, break out that pink lipstick and keep smiling! xoxoxoxox

“Growing up, I didn’t have a lot of access to fashion. But as far as I could remember, fashion has always been my defense mechanism. Even as a child, I remember thinking, She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.” —Rihanna

Spring Has Sprung

March 18, 2022 Shelley Hall

Fall Back. Spring Forward. We have lost an hour of sleep but gained an hour of daylight. It is so nice to have longer days to enjoy now. Especially when the days are getting warmer and the flowers are starting to bloom. All these happenings are signs of Spring. Yes, Spring, it’s finally here on March 20. If you’re thinking of a city that screams Spring, Seattle isn’t it. Drizzle can fall well into June (and sometimes even after), making sunny skies rare but precious. I know we value every single sunny day we have in Seattle.

Seattle in the Spring is a playground for those brave enough to weather the rain. After all, the rain isn’t all that heavy come March and April. At least, nothing that a light rain jacket can’t fix (remember, us locals don’t use umbrellas). Throw on a jacket like the Seattleite you are and experience everything Seattle has to offer in the spring. You might find a new favorite time of year out here in the Pacific Northwest. Not sure of that for me. I like sunshine as I get older, it lifts my spirits and makes me a lot more energetic.

Then why am I living in Seattle you ask? That’s a good question. I have spent over 35 years here altogether. I have traveled the world and have been to some very interesting places. The bottom line is I started my family here and that’s where they reside except for my daughter in New Mexico. Home is really where your family is and that’s where your heart lies. I will say, in a couple of years we will be retiring to Mexico so we can have sunshine, sea and a lower cost of living. I expect to have family visiting often, at least I tell myself that so it makes me feel less guilty for leaving. Despite the rain, Seattle has a beautiful Spring as it gets closer to Summer and I am here to enjoy it while I can.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week? All I can say is beautiful Spring florals by STACCATO and some lovely tops. There are also some stylish dresses that came in that might interest you. One by CES FEMME and another by LUSH. Have a look below but as you know, photos don’t do much justice to the materials and patterns, so you must come in and check them out. Easter and Mother’s Day will be here before you know it, and we want you to feel as stylish as possible.

I am all about dresses right now. It’s been fun styling them and adding different pieces to create my own unique style. Anything goes, kind of like the 70’s. So…….try putting on your favorite dress with some socks and tennis shoes. Throw on a sweater, light jacket, a scarf, and seriously you are good to go! Layering is a must in Seattle as we well know and I for one and pulling together all my dresses right now to style them and transition them into Spring. There are so many ways to wear them. We have been in comfy clothes long enough behind closed doors. It’s time to get out and strut your stuff. You haven’t forgotten how to do that, have you? I have worn mine with jeans, leggings, boots, tennis shoes and thick soled loafers. Blazers and sweaters have certainly been part of the mix as well as a fun, floppy hat. We want to see what you will put together, so come in and try some things on to see what you can create with that dress of yours.

As always, we thank you for your support and love. We are in the phase of removing our masks if we so desire. We do not require you to wear a mask in Meadow Boutique, that is up to you now. We are absolutely obliged to putting on a mask if you would like us to do so. As of now, we mostly have shed our masks and found some amazing lip colors to enhance what has been covered for so long. We are smiling, and we can’t wait to see your long lost smile again soon. xoxoxox

Sunshine Getaway

March 11, 2022 Shelley Hall

In the retail world we usually call the beginning of the year Resort Wear season; which translates to people heading somewhere that’s warm because the Winter blues have really gotten them down. They want fashion that is wearable for weather on the beach, in a boat, or outdoor restaurants. We long for warm air and sunshine. Spring and Summer can’t come soon enough. This is the time Seattleites have had enough of the rain and just want to get away for a little bit. It breaks up the monotony of the dreary weather.

When you walk into Meadow Boutique you will see many pieces that are made for the seasons ahead. We have fashion that can take you on a little trip or fashion that is still warm for the few weeks ahead. Right now, we seem to have it all. Looking around the boutique makes me think of Spring and taking a trip to Mexico to relax. My husband and I are trying to do that as soon as possible, but now because of the price of gas, the tickets have gone up $500. I am ready to get away from the hustle and bustle of all that is happening in the world. All the colors right now on our racks, just make me smile. I guess I could dream myself away…..just like the Calgon days. You know what I am talking about if you are as old as I am. If you aren’t, let me take a minute to explain. There was a TV ad back in the day about Calgon bath crystals. It showed a woman in the tub and the ad said, “Calgon take me away,” as she sits there in the bath dreaming of all kinds of relaxing places. I think all women during that time had Calgon stashed away in their bathroom cupboards in hopes that Calgon could actually take us away to some beautiful place if we would let our minds relax. Oh, the good old days…….

OK, enough day dreaming, what’s new at Meadow Boutique this week:

We have shorts, tees and even joggers from LOVE TREE. Sleeveless body suits from DOUBLE ZERO. Theres a cute floral dress in black by CES FEMME. We have so many pairs of denim right now from MUSELOOKS, TNR and RISEN to name a few. When you stop in you will be mesmerized by all the beautiful Spring colors. I highly encourage you to stop be and see for yourself!

It’s time to wrap this up, so you can get out in the beautiful weather we are having today. I am heading out this weekend to see my daughter in New Mexico. I am truly excited to get out of town and do some hiking and eat some great Tex-Mex food with my daughter. I won’t be at Meadow this weekend but rest assured there are plenty of lovely people that can take care of you. You will find many pieces that will make you happy, so come in and explore, especially because it’s suppose to be raining all weekend in Seattle. What else will you be doing?

Shelley’s daughter, Keira, has graced us with some Girl Scout Cookies to help with sales. Supporting Girl Scouts and buying the cookies is a worthwhile cause that’s hard to pass up. The prices have not changed, they are still $5 cash only. So you might as well stock up while you can in light of International Women’s Day, which of course includes our girls. Empower the girls around you and have some cookies in the meantime. xoxoxoxo

Dressing Up March

March 4, 2022 Shelley Hall

Dresses, Dresses and more Dresses are hanging on our racks at Meadow Boutique. The clocks are set to change in a matter of weeks, so if you thought it was too early to think about spring dresses, you’re mistaken. While March isn’t technically spring just yet, you can certainly dress for the season you want. After all, March is the month of late-winter getaways and spring-break vacations, making it the perfect time to start shopping for spring dresses.

No matter the occasion or season, there are always plenty of opportunities to wear a dress and, of course, an overwhelming amount of options from which to pick. The sole reason we get excited about spring is that we can wear a dress again and not catch a cold. After months spent confined to wearing our favorite sweaters, fleece-lined sweatpants and leggings, our legs beg for sunlight and my arms are ready to be bronzed. But…the springtime can still feel like we’re very much stuck in the middle of winter. 

Rather than dwell on this sad, sad fact, I'm cheering myself up by buying a bunch of warm weather-approved dresses that will help me get through those end-of-winter blues. By the time that 70-degree weather actually rolls around, my spirits will not only be lifted but my wardrobe will be armed with the season's finest selection of frocks. 

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

Dresses by FSLT APPAREL, CES FEMME, FREE AS A BIRD and DOUBLE ZERO. New jeans by FLYING MONKEY in dark & light wash. New crochet crop top and tees from DOUBLE ZERO. LOVE TREE has a distressed denim shacket. ANDREE weighs in with another fun top. SODA has slip-ons in a mint green in soft suede material. I think you need to check out the photos below and stop by to pick a new piece for your Spring wardrobe.!

That should do it for this week as we count down the days until Spring. It’s not too far off now. We shall have rain for a bit, but the temps should be getting warmer at least. We look forward to seeing you. It’s time to start thinking about a new wardrobe for Spring. To me, I love buying fashion for Spring. It’s that in-between time with lots of transition on the outside of us, as well as the inside. From what we hear, we will be able to remove the masks and reveal who we have become now. Our faces are always full of surprises, it’s not like we can hide anything. The bottom of my face will be dressed up in new pink & coral lipsticks and it might be time to get my teeth whitened so I can give you the best smile ever. Say Cheese! Times are changing, my friends, and we are ready to Spring Forward, so smile……xoxoxox

Dreaming of Spring

February 25, 2022 Shelley Hall

It’s been a bit cold this past week. A little snow and freezing temps came out of nowhere. The sun was bright and the skies were blue, so that makes everything so much better. Having daylight is really a nice reprieve from the darkness that was setting in at 4:30. This year, we call it Spring on March 20th, less than a month from now. It’s the season of reawakening. The days are getting brighter, and the vibes, lighter. To celebrate all things spring, Think: ‘70s throwbacks, lots of logos, and bold hues (to name a few.) It’s time to look alive.

Last year saw some amazing fashion trends, but 2022 might just outdo it. In fact, if you're already dreaming of spring and sunshine, now's the time to start getting ahead on your 2022 spring wardrobe refresh. The fashion industry's tastemakers are making notes on recent runway shows, and spring 2022 is shaping up to be a stylish smorgasbord of color, texture, and aesthetic. The trends are a hybrid of an early pandemic comfort-or-bust-vibe and modern maximalism that demands a spotlight. There's much more springtime excitement to dive into.

Maxi dresses are fresh off the runways and perfect for Spring 2022

Platforms and chunky shoes are center stage this Spring

What’s new at Meadow Boutique:

IN LOOM brings in more dresses, fun dresses, long dresses, short dresses, midi dresses. For you DREAMERS lovers, we have more colors with a shorter and longer version. Some sweatshirts from DOUBLE ZERO and Spring tops from LUSH. Have a look below and see what you might want to add to your wardrobe. DANA HERBERT with some lovely patterned pouches and cosmetic bags.

Keep dreaming about Spring, and before you know it, those beautiful colors will be at our door step. You will see it in nature and weather and fashion. The thought of Spring makes me giddy. Stop on by anytime and pick up something new from Meadow Boutique. We seriously can’t wait to see your faces, and with the way things are going, we may be able to see your face without a mask very soon. That would be incredible, right? We are keeping our fingers crossed. There’s nothing better than seeing a smile on your face with some new lipstick. Kiss. Kiss. xoxoxoxo

Lighten Up. Brighten Up.

February 18, 2022 Shelley Hall

Meadow Boutique is overjoyed with all the lighter and brighter fashion that has breezed through our doors. Lots different from the Winter colors. We know how very hard it is to break away from black in your wardrobe. No one says get rid of it. We just say don’t wear it everyday and start adding fashion that will transition you into Spring. We have so many of those pieces right now. A splash of color will do you good! Seattleites tend to wear muted colors. Why? Is it because of the grey days and rainy weather? Whatever the reason will be, it’s time to add some sunshine to your wardrobe, even if you have to add your black something to ease into it.

I love wearing the new dresses we are getting in, and so this season I will be wearing them with my tennies or loafers. Adding a pair of socks really adds to my casual look and finishes out the outfit. That tends to be my style as of now. At my age, I am open to everything when it comes to fashion. At 64, I know what I can wear and not wear tastefully for me. All the floral patterns, makes me think of the 70’s. Lighter color jeans have come into play too. We have a couple of pairs of pastel bell bottoms. You can still throw on a sweater or cardigan to any dress and have a fun, cozy look. Add some spicy jewelry and you have a complete look. Our jewelry boards are full of new bobbles to contemplate.

We are so excited for all the beautiful colors of fashion coming in the next few weeks. Our back room is full of surprises we haven’t even put out yet. Lots of dresses are on the horizon with lighter weight tops and a big supply of different style jeans. We have lots of new jewelry that reflect those bight colors as well. We are having so much fun at Meadow Boutique and we hope you will join in on the fun too. I urge you to stop by and try on some of our new dresses and lighter brighter garments. I promise we will show you how lovely you will look and feel in some color!

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique?

Dresses are by EMILY WONDER, FSL+APPAREL, CEST FEMME, IN LOOM & POLYGRAM. VINE & LOVE in with a lovely flutter sleeve top and pastel pink bell bottoms. FUN2FUN in with some light stripe tops and a blouse, and guess what? The stripes are black. We also have a couple of tees by LA MEIL. Have a look below and see what my suit your fancy!

And our new jewelry….

WICKET GOODS is a fusion of modern and bohemian styles and has offerings for everyone from the minimalist to the statement maker. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and crafted in a home studio in beautiful central Washington.

MAISIE & LOOPS by Ling, based in London. She fell in love with polymer clay because it is such a versatile medium. All her designs are made in small batches to avoid waste. Ling’s style ranges from pretty florals to modern minimalist.

LAST TRUE ANGEL is the epitome of vintage glamour with a contemporary twist. Featuring 14kt gold plated brass, semi precious stones and crystals, all pieces are hypo-allergenic and arrive with beautiful packaging.

Enjoy the longer days and milder weather that is coming our way. Our Winter in Seattle was a little hard to take this year. We have been dreaming of Spring and all it brings to us in the form of weather and fashion. Our clocks will be “springing forward” on March 13 so you have a little time to think about what lighter and brighter colors could do for your disposition. We are here for you like you have been for us. We love when you come in and try new things, think out of the box and let loose to fashion you haven’t tried before! It helps us see how pieces fit on different body shapes and sizes, so we can continue to help you in every way we can. We see so many people just peeking in our windows, stop it already, and just come in. You will be happy you did. We promise.

OK. 1——2——3——. Are you ready to put the black in your wardrobe to the back of the closet for a minute? Come on. We know, it’s baby steps, but when you see the lighter and brighter colors we have right now, it just may inspire you. We hope so. We will be waiting! xoxoxox

Love on Valentine's

February 11, 2022 Shelley Hall

Whether you’re a singleton or all loved up, the most romantic day of the year is creeping up on us again – Valentine’s Day. Valentine’s Day every year is a good time to remind spouses, partners, children, friends, neighbors, and even pets how much LOVE there is to go around. And with it comes a desire to reach into our pockets and shower our loved ones with romantic gestures and gifts. It can be easy to put pressure on yourself to make Valentine's Day extra-special with a grand gesture or big present, but we're here to remind you that the most important Valentine's Day gift is time spent together. (Though there's certainly nothing wrong with "receiving gifts" being your LOVE language!) Whatever you decide to do on Valentine's Day this year, you can't go wrong with a thoughtful and sweet card, if you need a little help putting your feelings into words.

COVID-19 has prevented many people from being in close physical proximity to their loved ones, sadly. But millions of determined others have found ways to get together or show their LOVE and affection, no matter what. To heal during a time of isolation, we must let go of fear, connect with those with LOVE, and practice the kind of LOVE that is patient and kind.

And we have lots of LOVE happening at Meadow Boutique. What’s new this week that we absolutely LOVE:

We LOVE the ANDREE pink lace top, VINE & LOVE satin blouse, the stylish KORI dresses, the FUN2FUN jumpsuit & tops, SNEAK PEEK Bell bottoms and MISS SPARKLING shacket and bright, cardigan sweaters. This is just to name a few, so see for yourself below. Everything we have will put a little LOVE in your step as you go out into the world to strut your stuff. We also LOVE the CHLOE & LEX cute vintage inspired bags and pouches. The fabric is chic and fun with colors that are vibrant and beautiful. Come in and check out the LOVE!

Put a little LOVE in your heart and enjoy Valentines Day. You might need something special to wear, even if you are staying in to celebrate. You know you can always find something special at Meadow Boutique. A special Valentine card can certainly show your loved one how much you care. We have lots of cute Valentine cards to spread the LOVE! Thank you for showing us LOVE and shopping with us every chance you get. We hope this day of LOVE surrounds you with the LOVE and joy you deserve. We always LOVE seeing you so don’t be a stranger, stop by and say hello! We will show you how you can spread LOVE around with a special card or gift. LOVE is in the air at Meadow Boutique! xoxoxoxo

Celebrate Love

February 4, 2022 Shelley Hall

Aaah February, the wonderful month where we get a day to celebrate love. It’s the perfect time to highlight the mighty muse, after all, in the words of an 18th century English poet, “it’s love that makes the world go round.” Not only do we have our yearly appointment with St Valentine, a day to celebrate love, but it is also the coldest month of the year, a perfect time to cuddle up and whisper sweet nothings in each other’s ears filled with thoughts of love. It lets us demonstrate our appreciation for the love that is all around us, thereby letting us experience love’s special sweetness.

Throughout this month and beyond (not just on the 14th), let’s celebrate and spread the love. Here’s a quick guide with 5 simple steps to claiming the whole month of February as your ‘Month of Love.” With some practice, it’s a habit that could last the whole year!

SHOW GRATITUDE - Everyone loves to be loved. So why not express your gratitude to your partner, your loved ones, and even to yourself? When you do, you create the fertile ground from which the flowers of love can grow.

BE PASSIONATE - When it comes to love there isn’t a moment to waste. Love — be it passionate, parental, platonic — is best when shown fully and given freely. Even science is discovering the medicinal and healing nature of love. So, if you are going to love, you might as well do it intensely.

LOVE SELFLESS - Shine the light of your selfless love, without expectations or prerequisites. It’s easier to find contentment knowing that you are in control of your individual perspective, and that you choose to love.

FIND LOVE EVERYWHERE - It’s wonderful to love significant others, but there is so much more that exists if only we take a look. When you see with the eyes of love, you see love everywhere — in the feelings you have toward a place you love visiting, in a type of food you love eating, in a film you love watching, in a moment you love, like a sunrise or a sunset.

FIND LOVE WITHIN - Self love is arguably the most important love that there is, and you don’t need to wait — you can love yourself today, on Valentine’s Day, and every day. Be in LOVE. Stay Beautiful

What do we Love this week at Meadow Boutique?

We are sticking with the theme of pastels and lighter brighter colors. Check out our window and see how even in winter attire, you can look brighter and lighter and still be warm and cozy!

This week we have some dresses by POLAGRAM that can be paired with a cardigan for now and then in Spring & Summer be worn just as is. This brand is all about womens' apparel and it is a contemporary line. She is very conservative and at the same time fashion trendy “Wear your Memories."

VIBRANT has some dark wash bell bottom jeans and a straight leg colored denim. Loved by many, VIBRANT has always been stepping forward to bring you the denim with a style and comfort in mind.

ANDREE & SAVANNAH JANE is an innovative feminine line that combines sassiness and sophistication with an everyday look. We take inspiration from vintage styles and interpret them into current silhouettes, catering to the growing demands of fast trends from the young contemporary. 

And finally, LA MIEL with flannels in pastel colors and simple white top to throw on with anything, really. LA MIEL never disappoints! Check out all of our new arrivals below, then stop by and show us how they fit. We love it when you show us your clothing finds at Meadow.

We made it through January! WOO HOO! Let’s fill up this month with LOVE. We all know how powerful LOVE can be when we feel it, give it to others and LOVE ourselves. LOVE is the most powerful feeling in the world and lucky us, we have it at our disposal if we so desire. At Meadow Boutique, we choose LOVE! How about you? Can you put yourself out in the world to LOVE? Well, we know you can because we have felt the LOVE from all of you time and time again. February makes us feel like LOVE is the answer after all we have been through in the past few years. It is much easier to LOVE, so thank you for making us feel LOVED. We LOVE you right back! We feel a LOVE fest coming on….oh my! Enjoy the days of February. xoxoxoxo

Pastels in Winter

January 28, 2022 Shelley Hall

There are more pastels this week coming into Meadow Boutique. We love seeing all the light, fresh colors. It has us thinking of Spring, even though it’s a bit farther out than we would like. Sure, pastels are for Summer season wear, but there is no better way to lighten your mood and outfit during Winter cold months by adding these delicate hues. Trust me, there are numerous of ways how to look chic and hot in pastel looks. There are beautiful street style looks to make pastels let you stand out from the crowd. You can either choose one pastel piece or combine various colors with each other. Personally, we love pairing them with neutral hues, like black, navy, gray and beige. Pastels are going to be one of this cold season’s biggest statement makers. Powdery pink, baby blue, and cool mints gonna look fresh on you, all you need is to create a functional outfit that is both sweet and harmonized.

The colors we have in Meadow Boutique right now are on trend, if you are wondering with an electrifying pink, a yellowish orange, a calming blue, a plant-based green and a creamy shade of butter. I know this is a stretch for Seattleites, but like my grandma always said, “ You have to bring your own sunshine wherever you go,” so why not start with some pastels to get the sun shining within you!

What pretty pastels are new this week?

LES AMIS, 2 HEARTS, HEMLOCK GOODS have all been bringing us a little sunshine with the pastel hues. Have a look at the photos below. HEMLOCK GOODS is all about bandanas. Hemlock bandanas were made to be beautiful, yes, but they're also tough. They can hold your hair back, carry an outfit, pick up spills, and store your beloved treasures and favorite snacks. The possibilities are endless with these hardwearing, artfully designed handkerchiefs. And with a Hemlock bandana in your possession, your possibilities are endless too. Funny to think that bandanas are back. It seems we are bringing back many things from the past. It always happens but somehow we need it more than ever. SODA shoes just came in with some slip-on with flowers, yes flowers!

Fashion is like music. When you hear certain songs, it takes you back to a moment in time when you felt good or it was a memory you never want to forget. It’s the same with fashion, wearing different trends from the past reminds me of my youth and the freedom in the 60’s ands 70’s when there were much easier times. There’s that feeling of belonging and being part of something bigger than yourself. I know you know this, it’s so relatable. I am trying my hardest to incorporate pastels because I love them and right now, more than ever, we need to feel lighter and brighter. So……here’s to feeling lighter and brighter in the days ahead!

January is almost over, and it has been a little quiet, understandably. We have seen many of you looking for new denim and venturing out to try new colors. We love seeing you and helping you incorporate new hues into your already amazing fashion. Thank you, as always, for being here with us every step of the way. It’s always a pleasure to serve you. We have been through a lot together in the past few years. But we are still standing. That says a lot about us, don’t you think? And as my grandma always said about sunshine and bringing it into our lives, you have certainly brought into ours! xoxoxoxo

Out With The Old. In With The New.

January 21, 2022 Shelley Hall

As I look at my closet, I know if I am going to buy more new things for Spring and perhaps for what’s left of Winter, I have to get rid of stuff I haven’t been wearing. You have to remember that I work at Meadow, so I see all the new arrivals every week. It’s really wonderful, but I tend to just want everything I see. I have to really ask myself if this piece will work with what I already have. And as you can well imagine that '“yes” slips out of my mouth so easily. I have gotten much better than when I first started working here and felt that I needed all the new arrivals. Fashion is for sure my passion. Every season change I know go through my closet and remove the pieces I hadn’t worn in 6 months. It’s much easier now because I turn my hangers the opposite way to show what I have and haven’t been wearing. I try to remember that there are many great places to donate so that others can share in the fashion I loved. So when you are cleaning out, think about the places where you might donate.

Nothing makes decluttering easier than knowing your clothes are going to a worthy cause — or at the very least, not going to the dump. Consider this: Around 11 million tons of textile waste ends up in landfills each year. And your old jeans and tees don't have a short stay there either. Depending on the material, it could take them anywhere from several weeks to several decades to break down, releasing methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide, in the process. Fortunately, there are simple ways you can donate your clothes to save the planet, and at the same time, help those in need. Here are a few places that are taking donations. Click on them to find out the requirements during the pandemic and how you can donate your beloved garments.

1. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Puget Sound

2. Goodwill Seattle

3. Mary’s Place

4. Simple & Just

5. Vision House

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week?

This week we have more goodies from REFLEX, LUSH, PAPER CRANE, and ALICE BLUE. The pieces are soft and fashionable and colorful. Have a look below and see how you can incorporate these pieces into your wardrobe. This fashion can transition right into Spring. Think about it!

Good luck cleaning out your closets and preparing to add all your new pieces from Meadow Boutique. We appreciate you coming in to have a look at the bright color fashions donning our racks. Thank you for your support and having an open mind to the brighter colors we are introducing these days. We love that you are open to pinks, and fuchsias, and yellows and blues. You can always throw a little black in with these colors if it makes you feel better. A new year, the same you, but brighter. xoxoxox

Brighter January Colors

January 14, 2022 Shelley Hall

Meadow Boutique, January 2022 - Brighter colors. Brighter days.

Pretty Pink, Light Purple, Bright Peach, Cornflower Blue, Stunning Fuchsia, Mint Green. Yes, these are some of the colors at Meadow Boutique right now. They are extremely beautiful to see with our Winter grey backdrop in Seattle. We are all so accustomed to wearing black, beige, all those muted colors. We blend in quite well, I must say. I am just as guilty as you. When in doubt, throw on something black……

I believe change is around the corner for 2022. It might be time for all of us to change our color scheme. We always equate light, bright colors to Spring and Summer, but who’s to say we can’t wear them now? The past few years have shown us that there is no rhyme or reason to why and how things can change. I have to say, without being a Debbie-downer, that the start to this year has been quite difficult in my world. There’s been more than enough days that wearing black seemed appropriate for me. I am ready to put the stress behind me and break out into the colors of a rainbow. Are you with me? Just come in and check out some of the hues I spoke about, see how they look on your beautiful self. I am going to incorporate these colors in my life and see how they play out. I am sure that I will feel better with a fuchsia piece to brighten up my grey days.

How is your comfy, cozy clothes pile holding up? We have workout pieces in now. It seems like we are always starting out the new year thinking we need to take better care of ourselves by joining a gym or buying workout equipment. I bought a Peloton last year and have never looked back. It’s always fun to buy new workout clothes because we wear them to workout and then they are stylish enough to wear for running around to do errands or sharing a coffee with a friend. We have some velour tops and bottoms for those relaxing evenings as well. Athletic pieces are a must because they have come a long way from tights and leotards. LOL We can wear them anywhere and look put together for any excursion that might come our way.

What’s new at Meadow Boutique this week. I believe I have given you many hints.

LUMIERE with jewel-tone colors in soft sweaters and a hoodie

& MERCI with fuchsia sweaters, light and dark

2 HEARTS with an absolutely fun blouse with lots of bright colors that ties in the back

MONO B with velour jogger sets, joggers, tops, leggings and an oversize sweatshirt for starters. Stylish enough to wear out and about town.

HADLEY WREN is all about looking good while feeling confident, sophisticated, and adventurous. The hats we have are such eye candy colors. Love. Love. Love.

Put some color into your life! It’s the beginning of the year, and boy do we need ways to brighten up our lives! If you are walking by the boutique, check out our windows and see how you can make these light, lovely colors work. January tends to be a quiet month after the hustle and bustle of the holidays, so stop by with your friends, your kids, your dogs and say hello! We would love to see our new pieces on you and see what you think. It will definitely be different experience than your “blend in” colors, but we think it will make you feel like you are a little piece of the sunshine! Thank you for all your support, just know we will be here when you return to shopping again. xoxoxoxo

New Year! Begin Again.

January 7, 2022 Shelley Hall

I hope that your New Year has gotten off to a good start. It will be what we make it with all the news outside of us telling us what we should and shouldn’t do, who we should be. With covid and omicron in the news and its widespread going into year 3, believe me, I know it’s hard to drum up some positive thinking. According to Governor, Jay Inslee, “To try to slow the spread of omicron, the state will tap into its personal protective equipment inventory with plans to distribute roughly 10 million KN95 and surgical masks in the coming weeks. Schools will be among the prioritized recipients.” Just when we thought we were maybe rounding a corner…..not so much. We have to create a new normal for ourselves, albeit what we thought 2022 would bring. It takes me back to my gratitude list and keeping up that good feeling of what we have, instead of what we don’t.

The weather has surely been bitter cold and snowy this year. Last weeks snow lingered a bit too long for our liking. Seattle’s hills are not meant for snow in places like Queen Anne Hill, Capitol Hill, Beacon Hill, shall I go on? Each community seems to have a hill in its name and they certainly live up to it, especially if we have icy conditions. Once the rains came, we were back to our normal winter weather that we are accustomed. Rain never looked so good!

If there is one thing I know about Americans, is that we are resilient. We come together in times when we are needed to make a difference. So as we move into this year, let us remember who we are and our ability to love. It’s really a simple concept. It’s the golden rule, if you are old enough like me to remember what was on every ruler we used in school. “Do unto to others as you would have them do unto you.” Perhaps that is just the way we can change the world and make it a better place for all of us, despite everything going on around us. What do you think? I think Betty White would agree!

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique: I am not going to spend a lot of time describing, come in and see for yourself after viewing the photos below!

LOVE TREE with its lovely cardigans and dolman sleeve sweaters.

& MERCI with sweaters and cardigans in some lighter, fun colors.

8 CORE with velour sweats suits and soft faux sherpa joggers.

MUSELOOKS Denim is new to us with distressed and jogger styles.

Shelley was just in San Diego and she was enthralled with all the bright colors and of course the sunshine. She is determined to order some of those colors that make us feel like life is full of sunshine, especially during this rainy period in Seattle. We tend to feel a little grey ourselves and that’s all we seem to wear is all the neutral colors that help us to blend in. I need some color in my wardrobe, how about you? Look for some lighter blends in the weeks to come. Winter doesn’t have to be only colors of black, grey, beige and brown.

Thanks so much for your support. You are appreciated! We hope to see your smiling eyes as you peruse our racks and try on our new arrivals. Come on in, it will be fun! Until we meet again, Happy New Year to you and yours. xoxoxox

Happy New Year!

December 31, 2021 Shelley Hall

This week has been quite a snow event coupled with very cold temperatures. I spent most of my holiday at home catching up on movies with a blanket and my jammies and my cat. There was no way my little VW bug was getting out of my frozen street. The forecast is calling for more snow on and off for the next few days. Here in Seattle there will not be any snow equipment traveling up and down side streets with ice defroster. There are too many hills for that. It seems that this a forced time off now unless you are brave enough to hit the streets.

Lots of packages did not make scheduled deliveries these past few days, including our delivery full of new arrivals. It will be here, just not on time to get photos before Friday. We decided to go ahead and send you some good wishes for the New Year anyway. So, we are sending you lots of love for the coming New Year, and hope that 2022 will be a good year for all of us. We hope your holidays were amazing being with your friends and family. We enjoyed seeing you all during the holiday season with your list for your gift giving. You chose us to do your shopping, and that means a lot to us. We hope all your gifts were loved and appreciated and your loved ones were happy with your selections. If there is a need to exchange, we make that available to you within 2 weeks after Christmas. We are certain they will find something to exchange or get a forever credit.

Next week should be back to normal…….we hope! Our deliveries will be here and we will post our new arrivals next week. I do know there is a new shacket on the way and some velour sweat suit sets, along with velour sweat pants. Super warm and cozy for the deep freezing temps we are experiencing. Love Tree is on the way too with their usual fashion trends, of sweaters, cardigans and jackets.

Enjoy you New Years weekend! We are excited to see what 2022 has to offer. We look forward to seeing you in the New Year and hearing about your holidays. There will be plenty of new arrivals in the weeks to come to get us through this cold spell. And then before we know it, it will be Spring. You heard me right…….Spring. See you next year! xoxoxox

Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

December 24, 2021 Shelley Hall

It’s here, and we are ready for this special time of the year. Christmas is the family holiday par excellence around the world, it is the time to get together with loved ones, to receive gifts, hugs and good wishes and, although all these demonstrations of affection are of human nature, in these last two Christmas celebrations, our customs and traditions have had to adapt to an undeniable reality: the pandemic of COVID-19.

This will be the second Christmas that will be spent with a very different reality from how the celebration was in 2019 and before, however, that does not mean that we should avoid the joy and optimism that radiates at this time of year, we just have to be aware and be responsible. I care about you, and you care about me, and really isn’t that what Christmas is about? We wish you all a very special Christmas with your loved ones. It truly has a way of bringing out the best in all of us. We feel warm and cozy all over just thinking about the weekend festivities. We will keep it short and sweet so you can continue the joy of the season with your family!

What’s new this week at Meadow Boutique? Our weekly shipment didn’t come this Tuesday but we have a few more things to tickle your fancy.

We have a couple of sweet sweaters in from DOUBLE ZERO, two plaid shackets from BLU PEPPER, and from PHIL LOVE three soft shirts in floral and two of them have skiers and snowboarders on the the front. Super cute and different. HEM & THREAD brings a suede-like jacket all furry inside.

There’s still some little gift treasures all over the store for stocking stuffers and little gifts for friends and family. I mean who doesn’t love bath bombs and luscious creams and soaps. There’s still some ornaments to be had for your tree and fun little girl items of barrettes and bracelets and necklaces. Oh and don’t forget, we have cute little stuffies for those special kids in your life.

Here are our holiday hours for your reference:

Friday, December 24, Christmas Eve - 11am -4pm

Saturday, December 25, Christmas Day - Closed

Tuesday thru Thursday 11-5 (same hours)

Friday, December 31, New Years Eve - 11am - 4pm

Saturday, January 1, New Years Day 2022 - Closed

We would like to take a minute to tell you that we can’t thank you enough for all the support you have given us this year. We are truly full of love and gratitude for all of you, near and far! You have made our year so very special. We have met new friends and have kept up with our long time customers, all who we think of as family! You have enriched our lives more than you know. Thank you for that! Merry Christmas to you all! xoxoxoxo

Gifts Galore

December 17, 2021 Shelley Hall

Budgets and diets have one thing in common: We tend to break both during the holidays. Even people who’ve been careful with their money all year long tend to go a little crazy once the holiday decorations go up. December 25th just around the corner, which means your holiday festivities are likely ramping up. From shopping for the perfect gift to everyone on your list to making your Christmas party plans, the spirit of the season is full swing.

We have so many incredible gifts at Meadow Boutique right now. Gifts that won’t break the bank. There’s a lot of people that have had hard times during the pandemic and money is tight. Believe me we understand. That’s why we keep our prices affordable so you can treat yourself to a gift no matter what time of year it might be. There are gifts for Moms. Gifts for Friends. Gifts for all the women and girls in your family. And if you are unsure of what to get, pick up a gift card and let them decide for themselves. That’s a really fun time at Meadow spending money that was a gift! No amount is too low because we have prices from $3 up to $68. It’s the thought that counts, right? We want to be your one-stop shopping destination because we value you and your gift giving! We will wrap it beautifully to save you time. It’s our absolute pleasure!

What’s new this week at Meadow?

RISEN Denim has some light colored, straight leg, distressed, high rise jeans. What a mouthful. I love them, not too short, not too long. They are just right.

HEM & THREAD has a little of this and a little of that. All so fashionable with jackets, sweaters, sweatshirts and a skirt. Perfect to add to your Winter wardrobe. all the pieces will make you warm and cozy for these upcoming Winter days. It’s been cold! BRRRRRRR

AMBIANCE APPAREL is a new line for us with 3 different fabrics of turtlenecks. Some are cropped and some are a longer. Take your pick!

NEW IN has a fuzzy jacket in a light pink color that looks nice on many skin tones. It seems to be a popular color this season.

We aren’t going to take up too much of your time this week with the blog. We know you are certainly busy preparing for the holiday festivities. It’s funny, I stop in at Trader Joes in Queen Anne at least 3 times a week and I always think I will see some of our customers. This week is the first time I have actually seen a few of you. Your shopping carts are full and you are stocking up, so we know you are in Christmas mode. Some of you have already finished your shopping. It seems like many of you started early this year. Now it’s time to adorn yourself with gifts, and we are here to get you through all the gatherings and social events you may be attending.

Thank you as always for your generous support! We appreciate you so much. We hope you will have an amazing Holiday Season. Please let us know how we can make it easier for you. We have gifts galore! We can’t wait to see you in the coming weeks and help you find gifts for the people that are special to you. Please know that you bring us so much joy when you come strolling in and we can talk and laugh and chat about whatever comes up. You are like our family. We have gotten to know many of you over the years and we are extremely grateful for the connection. Peace. Love. Joy. xoxoxo

Tis' The Season

December 10, 2021 Shelley Hall

Tis’ the season to be jolly, fa la la la la la la la la. Right? Do you have your jolly on? Time to get out of that funk you might be in because of all this rain that’s been falling. Between September and the end of November, the Seattle metropolitan area accumulated about 19 inches of rain, the largest amount since records began in 1945 and surpassing its previous record chronicled in 2006 by less than an inch. I have to say, the rain has really gotten to me this year, and the fact that it is dark by 4:30. YIKES! To remedy this, I have been playing holiday music to lift my spirits and contemplating installing lights that makes you feel like the sun is shining. I am trying to get my jolly on too, so hang in there. From what I understand, a Hallmark Holiday movie might lift your spirits as well…….let me know what works for you, because I am all in!

We are all truly blessed if we think about it! Life is much better this year, than last year. Am I right? This year we don’t have to fib to our friends that we are staying home and not seeing anyone because of COVID. No guilt this year, as we gather with our family or friends to celebrate this holiday of giving. I for one, am grateful. So let’s forget about the rain and remember how beautiful Seattle is because of it. Not many places are as green and lush as where we live! I suppose it makes us appreciate the sun even more when it comes out.

On a happier note, what’s new this week at Meadow Boutique?

To sum it up, lots of fuzzy, soft sweaters and jackets from LOVE TREE, BECOOL, CEST’ TOI, BLU B, CALISTA and KORI. There is even a cute skirt sweater set by &MERCI. If you check out the photos below, you will see for yourself. We have gloves and hats and scarves in as well, that will surely make any outfit complete. The gift giving doesn’t stop there. We have so many little gift items like candles, hand creams, ornaments, jewelry, notebooks, cards, you name it, we have it. We will gladly gift wrap anything you wish, with a lovely little gift bag with a flower and ribbon. You job is done as soon as you find that special gift for someone you love. We will take care of the rest. If you want to give a gift card, we have those too, beautifully crafted in a holiday style that can say how much someone means to you. Can I hear a fa la la la la?

Thank you so much for choosing Meadow Boutique as “your place” to shop. We appreciate your business and now we get so excited if a customer just buys something red! We are having a blast being part of your gift giving. One for you, one for them. It’s all good, we won’t tell! Let’s ring in this Holiday Season together. You are the reason we are still here and we never take that for granted. We hope our selection of fashion will always amaze you and entice you to keep coming back. We receive new pieces each week for your shopping pleasure. Do us a favor and get your jolly on with a few little verses of Fa la la la la la la la la! xoxoxoxo

Joy. Peace. Love.

December 3, 2021 Shelley Hall

December is here. The air is getting cooler. Lights are popping up throughout many neighborhoods. Consumers are shopping early so they can find that perfect gift before it has vanished off the shelves. Tis the season! If we can find Joy, Peace and Love in our everyday lives, then we will be ready for this holiday season with greater ease. No matter what or how you celebrate, how can we bring these 3 words into our hearts and lives?

JOY…… Joy is state of exuberance. It is energizing, happy and motivating. When we radiate joy, our biology is in its optimal state. Others are drawn to us. Joy directs us to the purpose of our lives and lubricates the flow state.

How to increase JOY

  1. Build upon your feeling of peace and love

  2. Let a smile crinkle in the outer corners of your eyes

  3. Allow every cell and organ in your body to smile

  4. Focus all your attention on the most awesome reality

  5. Know that this moment is absolutely perfect

  6. Radiate a pulse of appreciation and gladness into the world

  7. Show your happiness to those around you

  8. Savor the feeling of joy, bliss and contentment

PEACE…… Peace is a state of calm and an experience of safety. The vagus nerve is active. We feel secure. Peace is the foundation of wellbeing. Whilst leadership – parents, business, or state – has a role in creating safe environments, discovering peace is an individual responsibility.

How to increase PEACE

  1. Exhale and relax your face and body

  2. Slow your breathing and feel your heart rate slow

  3. Relax your eyes and take a wide view of nature

  4. Radiate a feeling of calm, peace, safety, and steadiness

  5. Accept that everything is perfect exactly as it is

  6. Know your vagus nerve is active and heart is coherent

  7. Bring your attention into the beauty of the present moment

  8. Savor the feeling of peacefulness

LOVE…… Love is a state of positive connection. We seek to be a force for good. Love is the foundation of collaboration and group success. Love is energizing, focusing, and meaningful. In love we can trust, play, and succeed together.

How to increase LOVE

  1. Build upon your practice of generating peace

  2. Lengthen your spine, open shoulders and hands

  3. Build respect, gentleness and kindness toward yourself

  4. Appreciate everything in your awareness right now

  5. Radiate a feeling of love towards all you know

  6. Expand an open heart to all life, nature and the cosmos

  7. Intend peace, joy and love to all beings

  8. Savor the feeling of loving kindness

Every one of us wants more peace, more love, and more joy. Evolution designed us to seek these three markers of a good life. We do everything we can to move towards them. Increasing our experience of peace, love, and joy is the purpose of every religion, philosophy, and science. You want it. I want it. We all can have it so go into this Holiday season with that mindset. We are with you very step of the way! These wise words from The Resilience Institute

With Love, we share all that is new this week at Meadow Boutique. When I say this week, I say it loosely because things seem to come in all the time, so some pieces don’t get on the blog. It’s like a welcome surprise each time you come into Meadow Boutique to see something new and fashionable!

VINE & LOVE has my vote this week with beautiful lace tops in winter white and black. So soft and flattering, so perfect to dress up or down for the holidays and beyond. Also there is a chunky teal turtleneck with lots of character.

NEW IN has 2 lovely sweaters in that festive red and off white, with lovely full sleeves and oh so soft…..A cozy way to ring in this holiday season. There is also a textured sweater with dots.

JODIFL brings us 2 colors of a quilted short jacket. It comes in a dark grey and rust color. The fit is really nice and a great layering jacket!

HYFVE has that color we are seeing this year in winter fashion - purple but a much lighter color like lavender. Its a very flattering wrap sweater with nice detailing. Take a chance, try something new instead of the typical muted colors that we all seem to wear in Seattle.

GILLI has another festive dress in a holiday plaid that you may want to consider. It would look amazing with some tights and high boots to finish the look.

OASIS SOCIETY Boots - Their designs are an extension of this: crafting pairs to carry our customers wherever they go. Our extensive collections range from street-ready sneakers to strut-ready sandals and everything in between. LOVE LOVE LOVE these new styles we have. Hurry while supplies last!

2020IN has some super cute low, slip-on boots in a dark grey. Perfect with any out fit, whether it be dresses or jeans, wide or skinny. See for yourself in the photos below.

PIERRE DUMAS boots with a suede and a higher heel. Love this color of brown in the winter, they pair with so many pieces you have in your wardrobe.

Our jewelry boards are full with more waiting in the wings. We have such stylish barrettes too, with unique designs and colors from an Australian company. You even get a little carrier bag when you purchase the barrettes. Such a nice touch. We have so many gifts too, for that special someone in your life. From our family, friends to teachers, there is something everyone would treasure.

Thanks for getting through this email blog with us. We thought we would give you some words to live by for the month of December. We are all work in progress! We have so much JOY when we think of you, so much PEACE when we think of the year ahead and so much LOVE for you, our customers. Let’s make this holiday a season to remember! We are here for you in whatever gift giving you have on your list. Thank you again for this past year, did we just really say that? Where did this year go? All we know, is we couldn’t have done it without you! xoxoxoxox

Small Business Saturday

November 26, 2021 Shelley Hall

Now that your belly is full of that wonderful Thanksgiving dinner you just had last eve, are you ready to go shopping and support the local businesses in your community? Local businesses across Washington are hoping to make the most of Small Business Saturday and other promotions as the coronavirus pandemic continues to redefine the holiday shopping season.

Independently owned boutiques, gift shops, mom-and-pop hardware stores, restaurants and the like are facing unprecedented challenges as the ongoing coronavirus pandemic changes how Americans do their holiday shopping.

The idea for this special day is to encourage people to shop small during the post-Thanksgiving weekend and support their local economies. It has become a holiday shopping traditional dedicated to supporting all kinds of businesses — from the corner store, to your favorite local restaurant, to your neighborhood comic book shop — and everything in between!

What’s new this week for Small Business Saturday?

HYFVE in with cold shoulder velvet tops and cropped sweaters. Perfect with high-waisted pants. JODIFL has lovely tops with a magenta jewel tone top and also a floral top full of jewel tones. These tops are a breath of fresh air! DOUBLE ZERO gives us some leggings with pockets and light colored crop sweatshirts. Everything we get in these days seems so appropriate for this renewed holiday season. We have so many beautiful scarves as well and before I left today there were sweat-shirts with MERRY on the front delivered to our doorstep. If you are looking to warm up your tootsies, well, we have 2 new styles of boots, so check them out below!

I am loving everything in the store right now, and as you can imagine, that could pose a problem for me buying gifts for me, me, me. I did buy the person behind me in line this morning a latte at Starbucks. That was the best feeling in the world….to buy a stranger something and see the surprise on their face. Priceless. We show kindness unconditionally to our friends and family, but what about a perfect stranger? She was very gracious and said she was going to pay it forward to someone too. The whole ordeal did my heart good. If you can find some kindness in your heart, I ask you to do something nice for a stranger. I promise you the feeling will give you such joy. We don’t ever know what others are going through in their life and an act of kindness may be just what they needed to make life feel a little better!

We want you to know that we are so appreciative of all your support. You have been there for us through thick and thin in the past year and we are forever grateful! We always hear from you how it is important to you to support local businesses and we like your way of thinking. You don’t just talk the talk, you walk the walk all the way into our boutique. You tell your friends and family about us and you bring them in when they are visiting, or just to having a day out shopping together. With all that has happened in the world we are so happy to be in business and to be able to serve you. It is truly because of you!

We hope to see you this Saturday. We will help you find exactly what you need! We absolutely make that promise to you. Thank you again for all your love and support. xoxoxox

Bring On The Holiday Cheer

November 19, 2021 Shelley Hall

Can you smell it? The faint scent of turkey, mashed potatoes and pumpkin pie drifts through the air this week, as we all gather around our family and friends to celebrate Thanksgiving. Unlike other holidays that are more gift-focused, Thanksgiving is centered on giving thanks for what we have and the special people in our lives. It’s a time to catch up with loved ones, sit around the table and share one of the most delicious meals of the year. Who doesn’t love endless stuffing and slices of pie? Whether you are near or far from your loved ones this Thanksgiving, there are so many ways to share just how much you care with thoughtful Thanksgiving wishes and messages for everyone in your life.

With such busy lives, it can be difficult to slow down and take time to feel thankful for what we do have. However, Thanksgiving marks an important season for all of us to take a moment and remember the little things in life—and every little thing we’re thankful for.

What are the new arrivals we are thankful for this week:

VERVET denim has a new style of jeans for the season. DOUBLE ZERO always has great knits to add to our wardrobe with a pair of cozy pants and a burgundy cable knit sweater. YE MAK sweaters are a must on those chilly mornings. LOVE TREE sweaters are always something to brag about! SHIRALEAH - “Gifts that make you feel good” is their motto with gloves and hats in vibrant colors. KAN CAN denim has finally graced our shelves with a variety of styles in skinny jeans. Yes, skinny, we haven’t given up on them yet. You have to check them out if KAN CAN fits your body to a tee. Not to mention, we have so many shackets to choose from right now, with lots of trendy plaid combinations.

We are stocked up on every rack with pieces coming in daily. If you see something you like, grab it, no joke. Nothing will last, I know I sound like a broken record, but it’s true! We see many of you already shopping for your peeps for Christmas. Keep this in mind, if you see something you like on the blog, call and hold for 24 hours or it will be gone. If you see something when you are shopping and can’t quite decide, just decide….it will be gone next time you come in. OK, I think I have made myself clear. There are so many great pieces in the boutique now, with more to come in the weeks ahead. I kid you not……so what are you waiting for? Let us help you find the fashion pieces you need to feel amazing for this holiday season that’s already upon us.

We are thankful for you and your support in the past 12 years. We have all certainly experienced the ups and downs of life with what has been happening in the world. We know we have been in this together and we are beyond words, thankful, grateful, joyful for all you have given us! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you is the words we hear when we bow our heads in gratitude. xoxoxoxo

Kindness is Free at Meadow Boutique

November 12, 2021 Shelley Hall

In the world we live in today, it’s obvious we can all show each other a little more Kindness. I know, I know, I talk about this every year. Knowing you all the way I do, it seems this is important to you as well. For me, it is so much easier to be Kind! Every year on November 13th, it is World Kindness Day. The objective of World Kindness Day is to spread Kindness with small gestures. The main tradition of the day is to be kind and to try and encourage Kindness to prevail over hatred. Whether it’s helping out someone with chores, taking the time out to ask how someone is doing, or complimenting someone, the name of the game is Kindness, and we all have it in us.

When I lived in Denver, I was introduced to The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation. The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation is a small nonprofit that invests their resources into making Kindness the norm. I know and love Brooke Jones, the vice president of the organization and she is a dynamo when it comes to promoting Kindness. Brooke and her team are making the world a better place, by showing us how to incorporate Kindness in our daily lives. Check out all their resources for teachers, companies and your very own home to explore ways of promoting Kindness.

It’s time to be Kind and share all of our new arrivals!

This week, BLU B brings in more shackets in plaids and fuzzy, cozy materials. Also, some added cardigans with that southwest patterns that are sure to have others doing a double take on your attire. There is a really cute dress in all those warm hues that will look amazing with a pair of boots, any kind really. DOUBLE ZERO has some more soft tops and sweaters that will be great for any type of layering. SM WARDROBE brought in 2 sweatshirts, one with cats and one with dogs for all you animal lovers. I think most people that frequent our boutique have a dog or a cat. It’s funny how many dog friends we have at Meadow! Everyday there seems to be a furry friend coming in for a treat. Kindness to pets is for sure one of our mottos! We have back orders coming in that we are putting on racks almost daily, so be sure to stop in so you don’t miss anything. GILLI, NEW IN, and HYFVE have been trickling in as well. It’s a thing for Meadow Boutique to always keep you in the know for new arrivals. Oh, and one more thing, it smells absolutely incredible from all of our holiday candles and there are so many little gifts to be had for all the special people in your life. We know you want to show a little Kindness to all of them, right?

I have to say, at Meadow Boutique, it is our goal to be Kind to every person that walks through our doors. We wouldn’t have it any other way. It seems to be reciprocal in how we interact with each other. You come in excited and happy to see all of our new arrivals and we are so happy to see you and help you find exactly what you are looking for. Needless to say, we do it with all the love and Kindness we can muster up. Even if you are having a bad day and you need some retail therapy, we are here for you. Our goal is to be Kind every step of the way, even if you don’t find anything that particular day. We will welcome you back time and time again. We want Kindness to be the norm…….especially at Meadow Boutique. We appreciate all that you share with us about your life, your family and all that’s happening in your communities. If we could wish for anything at all, it would be that you think of us as one of the retailers that are always Kind to you! As we come into the Holiday Season, we want you to know that we appreciate you and hold you near and dear to our hearts! Kindness and Gratitude Rule! For you the sky’s the limit when it comes to our acts of Kindness. We are feeling Kindness for you from the tops of our head to the tips of our toes. Sending you all Love & Kindness……. xoxoxoxo

“Kindness starts with one. One smile. One compliment. One cup of coffee. One conversation. Let’s lift the fog and make kindness the norm.” ~ Brooke Jones, Vice President, The Random Acts of Kindness Foundation
