Eclectic

We just got in one of my favorite orders! There is still more on its way but I had to take some pictures of a couple of my favorite finds. I know a lot of us like the black and white decor but it is fun to mix in a bright color...that is what I was thinking when I ordered these clocks. The old school tic tac toe is a great gift for the summer! Last but not least the Thumbs up hand...so fun to just put on a shelf, I am keeping one for myself!

Great new mugs

We really liked these inspirational mugs! We picked up a tea line as well that will go great with these mugs so will keep you posted! Also we are big fans of great quotes or sayings so you see a lot of these little signs in our shop. They are great for filling in a wall in small spaces.

New jewelry

A couple new pieces came in! More rings too (not pictured).

Bridal gifts

We just got in one of our bridal orders! The packaging is just too much fun and my personal favorite is the newlywed luggage tags...practical and cute! We know weddings are expensive so we tried to find a few things that would make a personal touch for a lot less money! Shown above: bride tote, bride t-shirts, organizer, bridesmaid compact, bride wine glass, and newlywed luggage tags.

We love black and white

Cute tin signs that just came in!

Excuse me...what?

I gotta say when I walked up to this booth I saw this great packaging and was so surprised when I found out what it was! It seems so taboo but I was SOLD! It makes a great gift and would be for sure quite the conversation starter!

Changes at The Alley...

We have almost been open 2 months but we just keep finely tuning our store! We never want our customers to get bored when they walk in so yes you must stop in often to see what we have going on! You will start to see more gift items as we are finding that 1: it is just too much fun and 2: well needed as so many of our little stores are closing! We still are going to carry home decor and some great unique furniture pieces and of course adding more jewelry. Us sisters (Jamie ,Andrea and Renee') just get sick of always going to the mall to find a gift so we are creating a place for you that is yes of the beaten path...but worth the little detour!

Finally cards have arrived

Of course we had to find some great cards to go with all our new gift items! We have more coming of course but we really thought this line stood out. I picked a couple of my favorites...

New candle line

So excited about our new candle line called Nest! This sounds cheesy but when you walk in a room and the smell makes you happy you found a great candle! Nest is based out of New York and they are soy based candle so they burn well. My favorite is grapefruit, which is very sweet. Then there is Bamboo and Freesia Kiwi which are more clean scents. We have a couple more lines coming as well...you can never have too many candles I say!

Bridal shower gifts

My sisters and I are all at the age where lots of our friends are getting married! We were thinking besides the registry where else can you get a cute little gift? So we decided that we needed to do this! We thought the bride and groom soaps were so cute, a great little add on gift to make a personal touch. We only got a couple in but we went crazy over the beautiful white frames...perfect for a wedding picture! Now I (Renee') am NOT a fan of games and I was excited to find a cute alternative : the bridal shower questions in a box. They are not cheesy questions at all trust me on this, great way to get some good conversations going! There are more bridal goodies coming...

Bracelets and cuffs

Can't have enough jewelry in our store...these cuffs make great statement pieces! Also some great bracelets that are perfect for weddings.
