Fab 5 Friday - Khaki Jackets

There's a well known saying, "April showers bring May flowers."  I've never known if there is a similar saying for June, but given the weather events of this week in many areas, I've come up with one myself:

"Rain storms take center stage in June, with lightning strikes and thunder booms."

We've had some real thunder boomers in my area, and I actually cancelled plans to go out because the rain was so hard and the thunder so fierce that it sounded like some serious damage was taking place.  As for the lightning, I admit that it scares me and I always try stay clear.  If I don't have to go out, I don't!

If you can't take cover when the storms are upon us, you can brave them in style with an all-purpose khaki jacket.  I've had one in my wardrobe for years, and it is definitely a go-to staple for me.  If I didn't already have one though, I could definitely go with any of these "finds" of the week in a "flash"!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Coming Soon - The Shay

If you attended our Spring Trunk Show last month, you saw our newest addition to the SKCreations line of products, The Shay Maxi Skirt/Tube Dress.  Some of you even purchased one at the show (thank you), and I hope you are enjoying it.  For those of you who weren't there, The Shay is a maxi skirt that can also be worn as a tube dress.  It's crafted from the same super soft and stretchy modern jersey fabric used for our Infinity Scarves, and features several of our original surface designs.  As a skirt, the wide waistband can be worn fully opened or folded over, either at the natural waist or just above the hip, and the full skirt has a flirty flare.  Here's a peek:

I just love my customers!  Here is another testimonial:

"My daughter is a team leader at her place of employment. She likes to give personal notes to her staff when they do exceptional tasks. I bought her some "Naturally Me" note cards. She stated that her message and the note cards that I gifted her brought joy as well as a smile on each recipient's face."

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Customer Testimonial

I love my customers, and I love when I can share their feedback about my products.  Here is a customer testimonial for our Custom Tote Bag:

"I am loving my new tote!  It's stylish yet practical.  Weekdays, it serves as my companion for carrying lunch, snacks and miscellaneous to-do items.  Weekends, it's been neat for bringing along copies of my new book and promotional items when I visit retail venues.   It's light in weight, flexible in use, and it looks great!  Love it!"

I am truly thankful for her patronage, and I can testify that her book is a must-read full of timeless wisdom!

SKCreations, LLC Surface Design: Retropolis

I've created many surface design collections, but Retropolis is one of my favorites.  Every time I look at it I think of products that would be great for it.  The designs all have a retro/futuristic theme, which is almost contradictory, but it just seems to work.  Recently, I decided to have Retropolis 5 and 7 printed onto linen cotton canvas.  I'm thrilled with the results.  New projects coming soon!
