Spider Woman Saves The Day!!

Hi I'm Cricket and I am the manager of Anastasia's Attic. Part of my job is to open the store each morning Monday-Friday. Putting out all of our wonderful porch items is also something I do. WEll......Monday morning as I was taking things out to the porch I saw a spider crawling across the floor in the red room....eeewwww Yuck!
I am not one to just go around killing things but I thought it probably wouldn't please our customers to come in and see it. Sooooo...I went over and stepped on it.And as I walked away it started to move again, feeling bad that I had wounded it I wanted to put it out of it's misery so yes...I stepped on it again and decided to get a paper towel and pick it up. But as I started to walk away it started to move AGAIN!

Now I'm thinking WOW...that is some spider! and I step on it again and it moves again and by this point I am thinking I am going to have to call Animal Control or one of those guys you see on Animal Planet that wrangle dangerous Critters and relocates them to a more natural habitat. This Spider just won't die!!

Now I am jumping on it with both feet and really scared that this is some kind of mutant spider with super powers and at any moment it will tire of me trying to kill it and will knock me across the room. ,BUT..I'm not a quitter!! So I take a chance and bend down to get a closer look at this amazing spider with nine lives and super powers. And found out that the Spider From Outer Darkness was actually....drum roll please...........Lint....yes... I said LINT! And it was probably from my own black sweater I was wearing.

Guess no matter how much I try to ignore it...age has taken over and my eyes are shot! Looks like I better make a trip to the eye doctor and get some new glasses.

Life is not fun at all if you can't laugh at yourself....and yes ...you can laugh at me too. But just call me Spider Woman when you do it!!

Queen Of Hearts At Gardner Village

Hi,

My name is Tara Starling, and I am the owner of Anastasia's Attic. I am so excited to personally invite you to the upcoming "Queen of Hearts" celebration to be held on February 21, from 5-9 PM. At Anastasia's Attic we believe that each woman carries within her the noble and remarkable traits of wisdom, graciousness, and love, and we are convinced beyond doubt that no moment is too small to celebrate! The knowledge that we are each queens in our own right, and the desire to revel in even the smallest of triumphs and blessings is in part what weaves the memories of our lives into a beautiful tapestry of joy and gratitude. Romance isn't merely a concept comprised of lovely trinkets and tokens of affection, but is a way of looking at the world around us so that we see the absolute best and deepest beauty of everything and everyone we encounter!


So come join us on February 21st as we honor the queen in you, and celebrate the true message of romance! Don yourself in your favorite finery--be it jewels, furs, or flowing fabric that shimmers and sparkles--and let us pamper you with an evening of special treatment and special memories. Each of the stores in Gardner Village will celebrating in their own unique style, with activities and specials created specifically with you in mind. At Anastasia's Attic we will, among other things, be giving away enchanting tiaras and authentic English pocket knights, and offering great deals on everything a queen could need in the way of pampering and inspiration! It will be a night to remember, and we look forward to sharing it with you!

Moonlight Madness!

Each year we have a Moonlight Madness sale in September where we dress like Pirates. And another one in November where we dress like Fairies. We stay open until midnight and have so much fun. I didn't dress up this time as I was sick with a fever and freezing all night. But the other ladies look fantastic. Tara is so convincing as a Fairy...and sooo beautiful!

Yes, she is a real life fairy, and if you don't believe me look at her ears.


Heather made such a cute Fairy.


Check out those eye lashes!

Witches Night Out!

Each year the weekend before Halloween we have what is called Witche's Night Out. It's two nights filled with fun, food, friendship, great sales and witches of every kind. There are good witches, mean witches, purple witches and green witches. Tall witches and small witches. Skinny witches, plump witches, witches in feathers and witches in leather.We had such a good time getting to talk with them and hang out for the night. We can't wait for next year. The costumes get better and better.
Here are a few pictures. Sorry...they were taken randomly and I don't know everyones name.

Wouldn't want to make her mad. Look at what she did to the last guy...LOL
