Marvelous May

 


    What a beautiful month it is! Spring is in full swing, and Summer is well on its way. We can't wait to see what fun May has in store for Downtown Apex.

Apex Peakfest went off with a lot of pink! The Doodling Bug rolls out all the flamingos for this event, and we mean ALL. Shoppe is covered top to bottom with our Flamingo Floating Coasters. At only $3, it is a must for all pool parties. 


May also brought some new faces to the Shoppe as well as some older ones!

Meet Olivia: Hi! My name is Olivia. I am a senior in high school about to graduate and go to nursing school at Seattle University. I am originally from Spain and I was born at the beach, so I love the ocean. I love dressing cute for every occasion. I'm so excited to be a new Shoppe Gal!


Shoppe Manager Caley is back! Summer break is coming up and with that comes back all our seasonal Gals. We are excited to have them back. Keep an eye out for them and be sure to say hi!


With how great the weather is and with all the fun events happening- it's gonna be May πŸ˜‰

March Moment

 Hello! Shoppe Gal Ashley here with all the new and now in March. Starting with a short introduction to our newest Shoppe Gal- me!


My name is Ashley, and I am the new General Manager at The Doodling Bug! Merchandising and design is where my passion is.  Did you know we have a map where you can place a pin to let us know where you are from? Chatting with the visitors and locals of Apex makes this job so fulfilling and exciting. I am also partial to our four-legged customers who come to visit. I make sure the treat jar stays stocked for all the fur babies who come to walk around Downtown Apex. 

Anyway, Spring decided to show up to Apex a bit early this year. Us Shoppe Gals were excited to get our spring collection out onto the floor so we can share all the cute new things with you! We stepped up our slipper game with new llama must-haves and rolled out new Instagram worthy dresses. 


Be sure to stop by March 18th for the Apex Sidewalk Event! The Doodling Bug will have racks of cute goodies ready to be added to your wardrobe. Just look for the giant Peep in the window and you'll find us! 

Don't forget to stop and enjoy this wonderful weather, and, who knows? You may even be lucky enough to find a pot of gold while exploring Apex πŸ€

It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year!


How is it December already?!   It is truly the best time of the year!   It's a time for giving.  We have lots of gift ideas in the shoppe that would be perfect for your bestie, your mom, you sister and even great stocking stuffers for teens!  Be sure to come check them out!

Did you go to the Apex Christmas Parade?  Did you see us?   We were in the pink VW Bug with the giant lit wreath on the back and we had the Grinch riding around us on a pink tricycle!  It was hilarious.   All of us Shoppe Gals and our wonderful owner, Julie all piled into the bug!   So much fun!






We hope that you have a very Merry Christmas and the happiest of Holidays!

Happy November!



Hey y’all!  Shoppe Gal Kailey here!

Can you believe it’s already November? With the changing leaves and cozy sweater season approaching, this is one of my favorite times here at the shoppe.

As we gear up for an exciting holiday season, start your gift list by checking out our unique selection of adorable necklaces or grab a pen set suited to each member of your family! 

Shopping local is a great way to give back to the Apex community during the pre-holiday bustle.

Stay warm and we hope to see you all come by the shoppe!
