It is hard to believe Kitty Deluxe is celebrating 7 years in business this weekend. It feels like yesterday we were painting, stocking the shelves, and furiously making jewelry for our grand opening. I was blessed to have tons of help from friends and family to make this dream come true. 7 years later, these same friends and family are still helping me and I am doubly blessed to have so many wonderful customers, many who have become a 'friend'. I can truly say I enjoy every moment I spend at Kitty Deluxe and hope everyone who comes to visit loves all their moments at Kitty Deluxe.
Here is a little look back on 7 years ago....
Willow helping to paint the shelves! Wow, she looks like a baby. She is going into high school this year.
Storm was for sale. She leaves for Eastern in a month. Wish I could squeeze her back into the case and keep her here!
My friend, Melissa, made me this temporary sign!
Wow! It looked very different than it does now!
My first customers (and close friends from high school) of the grand opening day. I still have $1 bill Julie gave me because she was my first sale that day.
Me holding our OPEN sign as we opened that first day.
This year we have our usual fun events planned for our anniversary. We will have FREE bracelet-making outside, a huge clearance table, treats, and a KD gift card giveaway. I also have a gal selling her handmade feather hair extensions from noon til close on Saturday. It's a little too hot to have my friends' doing their chair massages but maybe we can plan that in the fall. Today I had a ton of my favorite artists delivering their goods and my family and I are completely stocked up on all our handmade goodies. I hope to see all your smiling faces and please bring a friend or two.
I am completely grateful for the love everyone has shown Kitty Deluxe over the past 7 years. 7 is a lucky number so I hope this is our best year yet!!
we're glad we just 'discovered' you, you're our favorite place for gifts and parties! The Jacobs' Girls. :)
