CONTEST!!!

Hi this is Cricket, manager of Anastasia's Attic. A fun part of my job (one of many I might add) is meeting and getting to know some of our fabulous customers. I just met one  and she sure is a QT, and really fun too. Her name is Jacqueline and she has a wonderful blog called Purple Chocolat Home. We met through the blogging world and then met again in person in the store.

We have decided to have a fun contest where YOU can get the chance to win one of our amazing black witch hats. Here is a picture of Tara (the fabulous owner of Anastasia's Attic) and Jacqueline's granddaughter Kylie. Are they not just the cutest witches you have ever seen.

I am trying to build up my recipe blog Cricket's Cafe and this contest will help.

We Will Miss You

At Anastasia's Attic we are like one big family. And sometimes members of the family need to spread their wings and leave the nest to do something else. This month we say good bye to the Henry sisters Olivia and Monica.

Be the Beauty Project for June!

This month we lift loving hearts and our hands toward our four-footed fellow inhabitants of our planet! During June we will be collecting cans of dog and cat food for the Salt Lake County Animal Services. The SLCAS provides shelter for all types of lost and abandoned pets, and has a wonderful adoption and foster program. Although Salt Lake County Animal Services is a county-funded organization, many of their outreach, rescue, and adoption programs are made possible through the generous donations of citizens. In addition to caring for lost and abandoned animals and providing pet licensing, the Salt Lake City Animal Services has a rescue and foster programs that provides temporary homes to young kittens who are too young to be adopted. Foster parents are provided with all the necessary items for their foster-kittens--including food! As a reminder, when you bring your donation for the Be the Beauty program, you will receive a special Thank You from Anastasia's Attic in the form of a special, non- expiring coupon for 30% off any regular price, in-stock item! To learn more about The Salt Lake Animal Services and how you can assist their cause, visit http://www.animalservices.slco.org/ Thank you all so much for taking the time to Be the Beauty! We can make a difference! We will make a difference!

Monica

May's Employee Of The Month is........Monica!

Many of you may not know Monica as she only works part time. But if you have ever met her you will never forget her. She looks like she should be on the front of a fashion magazine. And Monica is beautiful on the inside as well. She is funny, and smart and very kind.

I have heard from more than one customer how much they like her and how sweet she is. And I think our single male shoppers has doubled since she started working with us...LOL

She is a wonderful addition to our team and we are so glad to have her with us. And just in case you see a bit of family resemblance...she and Olivia are sisters.

Thanks Monica for always give your best each time you work. There is a surprise gift waiting for you on your next shift!

Employee Of The Month

Hi, this is Cricket Manager of Anastasia's Attic. Hope all of you are started to see signs of spring. Here is Utah it's still snowing....yeah...I know...crazy!!! I am sitting at my desk watching it snow and listening to the birds chirp. I guess that means there is still hope Spring will eventually get to this part of the world!

April has been a busy month at Anastasia's Attic. Two of our wonderful ladies were on a fantastic vacation in Brasil and another is working her other job for a few months taking time off from us. Not only did and still do miss our ladies but it also left a whole lot of schedule to fill.

That brings me to........ "Employee Of The Month"

Liz Edmiston!

I am not sure where to start. Liz is not only beautiful, sweet, kind and loving. She is also
a wonderful mother, wife, daughter and friend. Her talents are so many I can't number them.
She has a very generous and giving heart. She is always thinking of ways to reach out and help another.
She is fun to be around and has a very calming way about her. She is always ready to jump in and lend
a hand where ever she is needed.

Liz was such a BIG help this month. She worked whatever hours we asked of her, never complaining.
She even surprised me one day and came by and told me to leave for 2 hours and she would work
for me while letting me stay on the clock. It was just what I needed and gave me a couple of hours to regroup and get some errands done. If she would have given me a sack of diamonds it would not have
been more valuble.

We are so glad Liz is a part of our Anastasia's Attic family, and from what I have been hearing so are our customers. Look at that smile. Who wouldn't want to be greeted by that.

Thank you sooooo much Liz for always bringing the best part of you to share with us.
We love you!!

Hope you like you beautiful Anne Koplik earrings. She is my favorite designer and I thought you might like them.

Thanks again for being such a wonderful part of our lives!

Happy Birthday Olivia

Happy Birthday Olivia or as I like to call you...
"Little Bit". We hope you are having a wonderful
birthday in Brasil. We miss you and can't wait to hear
all the stories that come with a fabulous trip like that!

With love from your Anastasia's Attic Family,
Tara, Cricket, April, Liz, Sharon and Wendy!
