Frill Seekers on Friendship...

One of my favorite all time songs boldly states: "Winter, spring, summer or fall...all you gotta do is call...You've got a friend!"

Friendship is one of life's greatest gifts! It truly is. The cutie pies pictured here with me at Sandestin's Mardi Gras festivities are two of my favorite BFF's!

Miss Kim and Lauren are quick to remind me that regardless of the season in life that I find myself in---they are there. Sometimes quietly, sometimes fiercely.

Life is really like a series of seasons itself. Often times when things seem to go wrong, I find myself in WINTER...where things are dreary, bleak and cold. Then along comes happy days that I compare to SPRING, which is filled with hope, promise, new chances, and a fresh perspective. Then there is SUMMER where the living is good, carefree and effortless. Yet somehow FALL always creeps in, reminding me, (like my BFF's do) that it's time to settle down, change things up a bit, perhaps grow in a different direction. {For Christian Music fans---listen to Nicole Nordeman's song titled: SEASONS! Wow what an emotional experience to hear this song!}

Seasons, like friendships are all about growth and change. Nothing lasts forever. Not bad times. Not good times. Not even seasons. Regardless of what life presents you, make sure you are surrounded by spiritual, kind and compassionate women. Ones that add and multiply the good things in your life---not subtract and divide.

When you do look around and find yourself surrounded by great girls, show them how much you really care with a treat from Frill Seekers Gifts. Something personalized, something unique. After all, it's true...Winter, Spring, Summer or Fall---you've got a friend.

Frill Seeker Fun in Destin! COUPON $$$

We're "frilled" that you love our shop!
For those of you fortunate enough to visit our beautiful Gulf Coast and Sandestin Resort in particular...you know how fun it is to shop with the paper dolls at Frill Seekers Gifts.

From the moment guests step onto our porch and pop their cute little faces into our Frill Seeker sign the giggling starts. Our sign, shown above, has appeared in national magazines, newspapers and on countless television shows. The first photo above, was recently spotted on MY SPACE!

Next, guests step into our shop and the "oohhhs and aaahhs" begin. Husbands instinctively run for the door guarding their wallets, only to realize the "Mrs." has already pick pocketed his credit card. CHARGE! Onward shopping soldiers. The fun has begun.

However, today after hearing from one of our online shoppers, we realized that some of you have never visited Destin, Florida. A few of our clients have simply discovered our little piece of paradise via the world wide web. Their frosty little toes have never scampered through our sugar white sandy beaches or soaked in a glorious deep orange coastal sunset over the Emerald Coast.

With this in mind, we offer you photo number two. This is peek from above of our island paradise. As you will notice, Destin is a tiny town, but big on hospitality. Destin is a picturesque tourist town, with photo opportunities at every turn.

Please stop by and visit when you are in the area. We would love to give you a behind the scenes tour of our company and town or take your photo in our Frill Seekers sign. We truly are "frilled" to live here and proud to call Destin home! Comment this article and tell us why you are proud to call your town home!

Calling all Bloggers!

We were "frilled" tickled pink to open our email this morning with a kind note from a blogger who had featured both of our Florida shops, Frill Seekers Gifts and Tales by the Sea, on her blog! It got us to thinking---why don't we offer an incentive to our loyal readers/clients/friends who have blogs and want to feature some of our products?

Thus, a great idea was born. If you would like to mention or feature some of our wonderful items on you blog, just send us an email at frillseekersgifts@cox.net, put BLOG in the subject line and tell us what you'd like to feature. Our creative team will send you some ideas on how to get started.

If you do not have a blog, but read blogs, then you'll be happy to know that we will reward you, too. Just email some of your favorite blogs and tell them about us and send us a copy. You can also send us the address of your favorite blogs and we'll contact them.

The entire staff of Frill Seekers Gifts is "frilled" to serve our customers. We would not be successful without your support in the shop and/or online. We are amazed at the success of this little shop nestled on the sandy shores of Sandestin, Florida. Our promise to you, is that we will continue to amaze you with great products, awesome service and a fun shop.
