{my Love Potion No. 9 soap sitting on top of the coolest book. Have you heard of *Rob Ryan?}

Happy Valentine's Day (weekend) everyone!

For the record, I think Valentine's Day is a little played out.....all the pressure to be in a relationship and to celebrate the fact on February 14th, in a very specific way.

But I do love, love......so here is a little Valentine from me to you.

{but don't get any funny ideas...I think we should just be friends}

Stop by Capers in West Seattle before Monday, and with any Sweet Petula purchase, the nice ladies behind the counter will throw in a bar of my Love Potion No. 9 soap.

*I love Rob Ryan! He is an amazing paper artist that uses lasers to cut and design images. My favorite is "Can We Shall We." It is a special laser cut he made just for Valentine's Day. You can see many of his images in the book I mentioned above. It is also available at Capers.

"Can We? Shall We? One day very soon, let us go away together, just you and me. Can We? Shall We? Call in sick one day and travel to the sea and hold hands all day. Can We? Shall We? Eat our sandwiches on the train, get drunk on fresh air and come home tired and never tell anyone...Ever."

Thanks for the love people! After my news yesterday I've gotten tons of emails full of well wishes and encouragement. You rock.

times are a changing......

Good News/Bad News...

Let's get the bad news out of the way first. Sweet Petula Pioneer Square is closing. NOT SWEET PETULA in general, so no freaking out allowed. Our on-line shops http://www.sweetpetula.com/ & http://www.sweetpetula.etsy.com/ will always be open 24/7 and.....wait for it...(below).....I could spin this a million different directions, but the simple fact of the matter is that our retail store in Pioneer Square does not make money. Our on-line shops and wholesale divisions do. So, that is where our focus will lie.

Our last open for business days in our brick and mortar shop will be April 9th & 10th (friday & saturday) and April 16th & 17th (friday & saturday)...we are no longer open regular business hours during the week. Stop by any of those days for great deals on non-Sweet Petula merchandise (Sweet Petula merchandise is not on sale as....WE ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS.)

But....the GOOD NEWS? Besides we ARE NOT GOING OUT OF BUSINESS? Is that we will be opening a Petite Petula at Capers in West Seattle. Capers is located at 4521 on California Ave. and they will carry our ENTIRE line beginning May 1st (as well as some lovely pjs in the Sweet Petula department.)

So that's the scoop folks!

Custom Perfume Event at Sweet Petula

Thursday, November 5th from 2pm-8pm

Our last custom event went so well...we had to do it again. Join us for herbal inspired cocktails (I'm thinking lavender vodka or vanilla bourbon? any suggestions?), perfume samples & handmade custom perfumes by local perfumer, Sweet Anthem. Custom blends are $25 and pre-registration is recommended...although we would love you to just stop by as well. Meredith (Sweet Anthem herself), brings tons of oils for you to smell & blend. She guides you through the process seamlessly. I love my last concoction....Grapefruit, Violet, Ambergris & Sandalwood...I'll wear it Thursday...you can smell me!

Call 206.246.3488 to book an appointment.

one for me...one for you!

This Thursday, Sweet Petula is participating in a great fundraiser for NW Hope & Healing. (more details below on event.)

NW Hope & Healing is an amazing organization that provides non-medical support to women recently diagnosed with breast cancer. Where they provide the most comfort is with their Healing Baskets. Basically, when a woman is diagnosed with breast cancer, these cool chicks step in with a basket full of soothing, pampering, pretty things. Just a little something to provide an ounce of comfort when it is really needed. Capers is hosting an event this Thursday to raise money for these baskets and I (& Sweet Petula) will be selling our products at the event and donating one item for every item sold. So stop by & shop. For every item you purchase, a matching product will be donated to these Healing Baskets.

Twice as Sweet

Join Sweet Petula & Sweet Anthem Perfume

for our joint Valentine's Day Trunk show

Friday & Saturday,

February 13th & 14th 10-5 at Sweet Petula

208 S. Jackson Street in Pioneer Square

All Sweet Petula products will be 25% off these two days only. We are also fully stocked up on $4.00 "Slightly Unsightly" soap bars and $8 bags of bulk soap.

Sweet Anthem will have many of her custom perfumes ranging in price from $10-$20...a can't beat price point for a sweet Valentine Day treat.

Sweet Anthem is a perfumery based in Seattle, WA run by designer Meredith Tucker. Her perfumes contain a mix of luxurious essential and fragrance oils. They are diluted in jojoba or evening primrose oil which provide a silky texture on the skin. This formulation helps create a long-lasting, divine fragrance experience.
With each new perfume, Meredith creates tributes to women that she admires; be they fictional, famous, or just some of her close friends. You may recognize some of them. *I'm waiting for the "Cordelia" hint hint Meredith...Others you might not. Regardless, they are each deserved of a fragrance of their own. Why must such prestige be reserved for supermodels and celebrities?
Smell nice and feel good, too
Unlike mass-produced, commercial perfumes, Sweet Anthem creates perfume oils using 80-85% concentration rates and dilutes most of the perfumes in jojoba, evening primrose, or pomegranate oil. This formulation creates a silky texture, a long-lasting fragrance, and a skin-safe perfume experience.

*please balance superhero, sex kitten, & ass-kicker, with undertones of earthyness (lets see how many of you actually read down to the end of my posts).

if you need a reason to visit Sweet Petula...here are two.

#1 Monday is MLK Day, which means free Parking! (and much more I realize...but for the sake of this post...parking). So come downtown and park it...then scoot on over to Sweet Petula.

~

#1 Sweet Petula is giving away a Free Gigantic Aromatherapy Travel Candle just for stopping in. The "Gigantic" part isn't technically part of the the product title...just something I wanted to throw in for you. Because they are. Our candle giveaway is good until January 31st, so if you miss out on #1, you won't be too terribly sad.

~

Remember to mention this offer, as we don't just give candles away to any schmo walking in off the street, only our very best customers. Like you.

Sweet Petula's First 1st Thursday

Tomorrow, (Thursday the 8th), is the Pioneer Square First Thursday Art Walk. We will be open late for those of you wanting to come down and visit us during your Art tour. Most galleries are open until 8:00, and aside from parking, it is a great free event.

I'll be here until 8:00, pouring champagne to celebrate the opening of our downtown shop. Please stop by and visit.

*Interesting little fact: First Thursday in Pioneer Square is the first Art Walk in the USA. Created in 1981 a group of Pioneer Square art dealers printed handout maps, did small-scale promotions, and on the first Thursday of the month painted footprints on the sidewalk outside their galleries. Who knew?
