Hello March

Hi shoppers!  We are approaching one of my favorite months for a few reasons.  I love March, because the weather finally starts to get warmer, flowers start to bloom and it's my birthday month!

Spring always has the prettiest weather to enjoy the outdoors. With warmer days to come, it's a perfect time to walk around Downtown Apex and come to visit us at The Doodling Bug!

With Spring being right around the corner, we have you covered with a bunch of cute Spring pieces!  We have a multitude of graphic tees perfect for warm weather.  We also have super cute flower rings that will put you right in the Spring mood.  With the season approaching we will have even more items to fulfill your Spring shopping, so we would love to see you!

Hello March

Fabulous February

Hello Doodling Bug shoppers! February is here! I absolutely love that during this chilly month we are given an extra day of 2020! This month may be cold, but it is also super fantastic and filled with love! We have so many fun and fabulous products in the Shoppe that you will not want to miss!

February in North Carolina is generally pretty cold with even a few snow days thrown in. We have a wide assortment of adorable beanies that are perfect for this Winter season. I bought my sister one of the Blue Thermal Lining Cable Knit Beanies and she absolutely adores it (and looks adorable too)! These beanies are a fun fashion statement, as well as a great way to keep your head warm!

My favorite products that we have right now are the new fabulous flower rings in small, medium and large. I absolutely love the variety of vibrant colors that we have in stock for you to purchase. The display is super fun with the small rings organized to reflect a colorful rainbow. The larger rings are a brand new item in the store and they are a super cute gift to treat yourself or your gals!

I hope to see y'all in the Shoppe this month!

Welcome December

Happy December, Glitter Bugs!! I'm so excited to welcome December. The Winter is upon us and the holidays are here. The colorful leaves are still falling and giving us our last few weeks of Autumn. Enjoy it!

The shoppe has been buzzing with so many visitors this time of year. I have met people from Spain, Israel, Australia, so many from New York and New Jersey, Indiana, Florida, Texas, California and so, so many other states too! I love to see your smiling faces and hearing about the towns you are from. It's especially fun when you come in to purchase mementos to take back home with you from our sweet little shoppe.

This month, Downtown Apex will have a wonderful night of Christmas Carols and Christmas Tree Lighting on Friday, December 6th starting at 5:00 pm.

Don't forget to come and look for all of the Shoppe Gals and their helpers in the Apex Christmas Parade on December 7th starting at 5:00 pm until 8:00 pm. Come early and find your spot to watch this wonderful night parade. Downtown Apex will be full of excitement and cheer. The shoppe will be open both days that weekend until 8:00 pm. Well, every Friday and Saturday.  :)

What are your favorite things to look forward to in December? I love the frost on the trees and the Cardinals all puffed up and perching in their bright shades of red. I also love friends and family all gathering together for fun festivities and spending time together this time of year. Walking in Downtown Apex enjoying a meal and strolling the shops.

The shoppe is filled with all kinds of pretties this time of year for your holiday shopping, ornament exchanges, white elephant gifts, stocking stuffers, and always something cozy to wrap up in. Don't forget to stop in for something to dress up your outfit for that special occasion or just a fun day out on the town. We have something for everyone!

Happy Holidays, friends! I can't wait to see you in the shoppe soon.

Welcome December

Happy Summer, from Shoppe Gal Kathleen!

Happy Summer, Glitter Bugs! I hope that everyone is enjoying their Summer. I know it has been a hot one, but we will survive! Haha!! Especially when we have pools to play in, lakes to cool off while floating and boating and our beautiful beaches to visit. Well, you have to admit, a little AC doesn't hurt either.  ;)

The shoppe has been so fun this Summer. We have revamped the sales floor several times with all of our new pretties that we get each week. I can't wait for you all to see it, if you haven't already. It seems to be just sparkling more than ever!

We have been serving free lemonade to our customers all Summer. Especially on those hot days when you have friends and family in town and are showing them our wonderful Historic Downtown Apex. It's so great when you stop in, do a little shopping, have some cool lemonade and we get to chat for a little while. It really makes my day!

I have met so many wonderful customers this summer from all over the world. I love hearing your stories and learning about where you are from while you pin our "Where are y'all visiting from?" map. The pins are getting more and more abundant each week. It's super cool to see them all shine.

I know this sounds crazy, but towards the end of last month we even started putting out our Fall products. They are selling like hotcakes. I know, I know, you don't want to think about the cool Fall weather yet, but it's upon us and it's never too early to prepare and pick up something that catches your eye instead of later when it may be gone. I know I do it. If I have to have it, then it's a done deal. I know most of you feel the same.

Enjoy the rest of your Summer and I look forward to seeing you in the shoppe soon!

Happy Summer, from Shoppe Gal Kathleen!

Oh What fun, The Christmas Parade!

Wow, last night was spectacular! It was my first Apex Christmas Parade with The Shoppe Gals. It was so much fun! I think that I just need to show you how wonderful it was!

We are piling into the cutest pink VW Bug ever!

Ready to head to the staging area for all of the parade goers. 
Yes, that is 5 of us squeezed into this cute little eye-lashed Bug. Haha!!

Shoppe Gal Katie grabbed a photo of all of the Santa beanies following us to our parade staging spot. 
Loved this sight!

We did our best to stay dry. Our wonderful shoppe Owner, Julie, was prepared as usual... gloves, rain ponchos, umbrellas, snacks and drinks. She is just so wonderful and we all appreciate her so much.

Selfie time with... Shoppe Gal Isabelle.

With Shoppe Gals Laura and Katie. Always fun with these two!

Our sweet little vehicle all Christmas Parade ready and big smiles from Julie and Isabelle. 

Love those eyelashes!!

Even though it was raining, everyone was in great spirits. It was so great!

Don't you just love our monogrammed hats?!?! Make sure you ask one of us Shoppe Gals next time you are in The Doodling Bug for her phone number. She is amazing!

The monogrammed Santa hat crew. A great one at that!
I really am so happy that I get to spend my days with these ladies.

It takes a village and this was ours last night. Thank you everyone for making the night so fun!

Merry Christmas!

Santa finished the parade with his sweet smile.

That's a wrap! Thank you for joining me through our Christmas Parade photo brigade. If you would like to see more photos and videos you can find them on our Shoppe Gals Instagram and also our Facebook page. 

Please don't forget to share this blog with your friends and family. We also welcome comments and compliments. Have an amazing holiday season!
