Father's Day

Father's Day is in 8 days!

June 20, 2010

Father's Day is sometimes quite challenging, because fathers can be so difficult to shop for!

So the girls at PJ decided to make it a little simpler for you.

Here are some great ideas, with links and everything, for your convenience!

Heart, instinct, principles.

-Blaise Pascal

Inside: You are a great combination.

We need heroes because they draw us on to become better versions of ourselves.

-Walt Bock

Inside: You're an inspiration.

Thymes Olive Leaf Cologne

Both olive leaf and olive oil lend their nourishing benefits to a scent that's warm and robust; a tapenade of fresh herbs made subtle by aromatic woods.

Thymes Eucalyptus Hand Cream

This botanically-enriched formula protects and transforms dry, chapped hands.

Perfect to moisturize Dad's rough, hard-working hands.

Pre De Provence After Shave Cream

The rich, moisturizing and healing properties of Shea butter make it ideal to use after shaving face to help irritated skin rebound. Everyone will appreciate its soft, soothing protection.

Dear Dad

Dear Dad - is a tribute to two of life's most fundamental relationships. These unforgettable images of grandparents, parents, and children alike celebrate what it is to be part of a family, to share the gift of friendship, and, more than anything else, to be loved.

My Dad: His Story, His Words.

This cloth-covered book will truly be a gift for Dad that will be handed down to future generations. Inside are questions to spark the memories of his life. Get to know Dad. Laugh with him, hear his stories and memories, honor and celebrate his life. Dad and kids of every age will treasure completing this book together.

So now that we've got the gift figured out

We just need to figure out what to do on Sunday, June 20th.

Here are some ideas

How about making some delicious breakfast for dad

Head up the mountain to the Snowbowl Ranger Talk

Where rangers answer your questions at the top of the Skyride.

The grandest view in the Southwest at 11,500 feet.

Somewhere local for lunch

Then to Riordan Mansion for Days of Summer with the Flagstaff Community Band

Step back into yesteryear at the Riordan Mansion to listen to the band play under the pines.

Head Downtown to the Flagstaff Music Festival in Heritage Square

This FREE event presents local music, vendors and artisans.

Food, snacks and beer will be available.

Come enjoy this fun family event!

Have a Wonderful Weekend, Week

Good Luck Father's Day Planning!

Love,
The Girls at PJ Chilcottage

Glorious Summer Days & Nights

Why hello there, Folks!

Good afternoon!

Hope all is well and you are enjoying your day, thus far!

For those of you enjoying the loveliness of Flagstaff, I know your day must be going well!

For those of you who aren't enjoying:

Birds chirping

The warm touch of the sun

Bike rides along the urban trail

Sipping coffee in adorable local coffee shops

Shopping with friendly neighbors

...

Then come on by! We want you to join in on the fun!

But I must be honest

The reason we Flagstaffians have the right to boast in our glorious Summer is because we have spent much of our year like this:

But don't get me wrong!

If there is anyone who loves the romance of Winter partnered with the warmth of a cup of tea, blanket and fireplace, its the girls at PJ!

But since we have definitely had our fill of Winter we do not take any ounce of sunshine for granted!

So because Summer is oh so very glorious...

We have some exciting news for you all!

PJ has been known for our

Yummy-smelling soaps

Moisturizing lotions

Adorable home decor & household goodies

Clever & silly tees

Super comfy robes & pajamas

But we are beginning to debut something very new and exciting!

Adorable Magazine Apparel!

Alissa G looks stinkin' cute in this purple cover up and sun hat!

These cover ups have been a hit!

Maybe because the slight A-line shape make it super flattering on almost every body type!

Some of these dresses have such pretty and delicate detail.

There are some short dresses that can also be worn as tops, when matched with jeans or leggings!

These dresses are super cute when matched with a sun hat!

Some things to know about Magazine Apparel

They seem to fit somewhere between a misses cut & roomy junior.

They are super flattering & lightweight!

Perfect for those lovely summer days!

The next upcoming week is going to be gorgeous and full of fun!
