I Scream, You Scream

...well, you know where this is going, right?

Oh yes! Just in time for the hottest days of summer, Cordially Invited is gearing up to bring you something guaranteed to cool you down and bring a smile to your face. We've been working hard, rearranging the shop, bringing in professionals, and we're almost ready:

We're going to be serving up creamy, delicious Fosselman's ice cream!

This local cult favorite is a family-owned and operated business since 1919, based right here in southern California. They churn over 40 different flavors, and we are SO excited to be featuring them in our brand-new freezer case!

my new little business card holder!!!

Yes, even in this day of technology; where you can scan a business card, send a Vcard or whatever other techy way of transmitting your contact info there is..I still love to keep business cards. Especially when i can tell that lots of time and detail went into the design and printing of the business card.

But up until now all the business cards that i keep have been sitting in the top drawer of my desk with a rubber band around them... but NOW - now they are neatly stored inside of my cute little red and white striped Semikolon business card holder. Take a look inside - it even comes with the tabs so you can organize them alphabetically(i tend to organize by business and sometimes by name - depends on the person..)

Anyway - we have lots of new SemiKolon products in store and a few of them will be on sale this weekend (10% off) at our First Annual Sidewalk Sale

You know you want one??? First 10 local readers to leave a comment will get an extra 10% off their sale purcahses this Saturday or Sunday.
