   While we all gravitate toward different genres of books and stories; some of us listen while others hold the book in our hands, the goal is the same... "We read to know we're not alone" - C.S Lewis  Truth be told, while murder mysteries have my heart, I'm a sucker for a good romance, and there's nothing like a daily devotion to raise our spirits, help us stay focused, and remind us to keep moving forward. So, while my reading wishlist is a mile long, but I never miss a chance to add another...Tell us, what are you reading? And what is that one book, that you read that one time and you still think about it, and you could read it again and agin and it would never get old? Please do tell! Check back soon for new recommendations!  Happy Reading 📖 ❤️

Father's Day Tribute to CFB'S Main Man
Father's Day is this Sunday, June 19th. A day of celebration for the paternal bond and honoring fatherhood. And although we may be a women's boutique, we have to say thank you to the man who has helped the most and is the behind-the-scenes guy to most of our ideas coming to life. His name is Ben Ramey, and he is the husband of Kimberly Ramey, the owner.    Ben grew up in Rabun County and was always been a man's man- doing all the manly things like playing football, hunting and fishing. Then he met Kim and fell hard to this cute redhead. They got married May 30, 2015... and had a daughter on December 7, 2016 named Wylder Jane. Silo Rose came August 28, 2018 followed by Roux Louise on April 26, 2020. So the bearded man became a girl dad... and has easily stepped into the role wholeheartedly.    As Kim's best friend, I wouldn't let her marry just any guy, but when I met Ben, I knew he was perfect for her and would love her as much as I do. (Because he's basically the male version of me... we share a lot of the same opinions 😉). And then I saw him transition into a dad, and how he would do anything for all his girls, warms my heart for my best friend. I'm so happy for the family Kim and Ben have created and honored to be a part of the journey.

First Friday Fest
Schoooool is out. for. summer! With the pandemic behind us, we can finally travel and spend time with friends and family. The summer sun is calling us to go outside and enjoy all that Nature has to offer.  And what is better than a FREE outdoor concert? On the first Friday of each month from June to October, Clayton Merchants and Business Association (CMBA) presents on a free concert on the historic Rock House lawn, which is located on Main Street, Clayton, GA. Music starts at 6 p.m. and ends at 8 p.m. And you are right in the midst of shopping, eating and strolling to your heart's content!  Free music along with the beautiful view of Screamer Mountain is guaranteed to be a good time, and donations are welcome as each month a local non-profit receives the contributions.  This past Friday was the jumping off point for the concert series with the Southern Highland Music Foundation (some of the Foxfire guys and gal) playing to great turnout. The donations went to the Foxfire Museum (fittingly). The next concert is July 1st with Krystal Halvorson, which will be 4th of July weekend, is sure to be entertaining for all.      So if you happen to be in town that day, swing by one of our fantastic restaurants and order some To-Go food. Then stroll around downtown, checking out all the fabulous shops on Main Street (and you might as well pop in and see us since you're in the neighborhood ☺️), til your order is ready. You can bring your own chairs, but if you happen to forget yours, there are some provided too- first come, first serve. Then you grab your food and head over to the Rock House for a DIY "dinner and a show." Not telling you what to do, but it does sound like a lovely evening.
