If we dress for it…Spring will come!

I’ve decided…if it works for Field of Dreams, it can work for Ely, Minnesota!

OK, so maybe I shouldn’t be selfish…

Make it all of Minnesota.

OK, this really has been a long winter for everyone…

We’ll share…

COME ON SPRING….This world is READY!

As I was posting photos on our store Facebook page (Secret Sisters Boutique – Ely) tonight, I decided that we just need to dress for it…then maybe it will arrive! Read more

It’s All About You!

Enough about me…

I want this post to be all about you!

We all have stories to share…sad stories, overcoming hardship stories, funny stories, stories of faith, stories of triumph.

It’s your turn to tell a story, share a laugh, or just tell me where you’re from – scroll down to the Comments box and just start writing!

You pick the topic and decide how much you’d like to write…one sentence or two… or two dozen. Go for it!

I can’t wait to hear what you have to say!

Have a GREAT day!

I’m not trying to be all cutesy – “oh it’s just lil’ ole’ me”.

After all – God made me – I must be something special.

But really – it’s just me…and I’m just from this little (albeit) beautiful town. Read more

The man doesn’t listen. I swear he never listens to me when it comes to gift giving. That would be one of his few flaws. I really, really, really didn’t want him to get me anything. With that being said… Read more
