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 😉

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 🍀

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!

June!

 Shoppe Gal Miranda here excited that June is here! June is such an exciting month if you love summer, since it begins just a few weeks into the month. I love going to the beach over summer break. I am super excited about this June because I finally graduate high school. 

June is also super fun for clothes shopping because you can really get into brighter colors and white. The shoppe is full of fun colors, it is a real change of pace from winter. So fun to get to dress for warmer weather with tank tops and shorts. Hair up more often means always having earrings in which is also super fun to shop for too. 

Hope everyone enjoys the warm weather and June! Have a great Summer! <3
