Excited for Our First Holiday Season!

I get it. Some of you are deeply offended when Thanksgiving doesn't get its due. You feel like after Halloween we jump right into celebrating Christmas. But, I now have have an excuse for early decorating and Christmas carols blaring before Turkey Day. Why? Because I am a retailer! It's basically a rule that we have to start promoting the holiday spirit. (Okay, maybe that's a stretch...)

Next week marks our first Black Friday and Small Business Saturday. News flash: boutiques and small local establishments just can't compete with big box stores or discount retailers. That's okay. I have come to believe that my job as a boutique owner is to provide you with unique offerings and special pieces that you can't find anywhere else. Plus, we are determined to make our space festive, fun, and full of holiday cheer! And, in case you can't tell, I am very, very excited.

Vivian Rose Boutique will be open extended hours on Black Friday and Small Business Saturday for your shopping pleasure (9 am to 7 pm). Plus, we will be serving hot chocolate, cookies, and providing a GREAT offer. (Stay tuned!) This small VRB team is working hard to make sure that our new items arrive in time and that we are fully stocked!

Old Town is a great place to hang out next weekend with special offers, great food, unique offerings, and lots of heart. (Insert smiley face here.)

Try shopping small in Mankato this holiday season. Let us wow you. I know that we can...

Cheers,

S.
