fun ideas

A little planning for a Noonday Collection Trunk Show delivers a lot of... Fun:

Girls' Night 'In'
Going 'out' is fun...staying 'in' with friends and away from usual home life responsibilities is heavenly on a weeknight. Choose a middle-of-the-week night when friends are ready for a break and not too tired. Plan some after-dinner snacks or better yet, sweets! Schedule for a 7pm-9pm Show. Enjoy a break from the weekly grind. Your friends will thank you.

Weekend Stop & Shop
Saturday, early afternoon...after the kids' soccer games or when all the gardening and garage sale shopping is done. Set aside 12:30pm-2pm for a breather with friends and some refreshing drinks, green tea, sweet preserved plums, crackers, and cheese. Just enough time to stop from the busy weekend schedule, to shop for beautiful accessories, and still leave with plenty of time to head home for a late afternoon nap.

A Workday Break
Trade the lunch-slump at work for a fun pick-me-up with friends. Gather the girls in the conference room for a 'Bring your own lunch, hostess provides the Izze Drinks drinks and a sweet treat' mini trunk show. 11:45-1:15 should keep you in good standing with the boss, and everyone goes back to work with a spring in their step.

Mamas' pick-me-up
Enough said, right? With the kids in Mother's Day Out (or perhaps Grandma can help for an hour or two?) it's time to schedule a middle of the morning weekday treat. Plan for a roomful of girls from 10-12 noon with dazzling accessories alongside pinwheels, fruit, and a variety of juices with a twist -- try pomegranite with a splash of lime, or lemonade with a touch of honey, or make your own fun combination.

Happy Hour (or two!)
Get ready to kick off your work shoes and grab a margarita and a bauble on the way home from work. Provide some chips and queso with guacamole to curb the dinner bells and let your friends shop and relax. Set a 6pm start time and expect friends to arrive as they leave work for the day. Let them know that by 8:00 you'll have them on their way home with a warm belly and a beautfiul accessory (or two).
