📞 Just got a phone call from Chronicle/ Main Streets and Backroads!
Remember that segment that was filmed at The Velvet Goose in 2023 and replayed in 2024? Well, it will be replayed tomorrow/Thursday, September 25, at 7:30 pm.
📺 Tune in if you want to see Gardner, The Gardner Museum, and my old shop 😢.

Today I went to see Hamilton at the Gardner Theatre. And while the film/show was very good, I was most excited to see the commercial for GFA Federal Credit Union, featuring The Velvet Goose and other shops too. (We filmed that commercial last summer 2024.)
💛Oh, seeing those Vera Bradley bags, and the clothes, and the beautiful rolled blanket that the young lady purchased. And I was wearing my favorite blue cha-cha dress and I handed her a big yellow bag. And my fabulous maroon counter was there. And I loved it! Happy that it played twice before the movie started.

Happy Mother’s Day!
I miss you all terribly, but I definitely wanted to wish you a special day.
We had a delicious dinner at Val's Restaurant in Holden. Stop in there soon if you want scrumptious food. It was lovely to see Val today. We both loved our Julie Voss Jewelry at The Velvet Goose.

Happy Easter! Happy Spring!
💛The Velvet Goose has been closed for 3.5 months and I want you to know that I miss you terribly.
🐰This Easter was my first holiday in 38 years where there was not an abundance of Goose Goodies and everyone was not All Goosed Up!
❤️I do have a lot of cherished memories. One of my favorites was from 2020 when we were only able to do curbside pickup. Buddy The Elf showed up to help and so did Santa. Since people thought I must have confused my holidays, Santa carried the “Bunny Too Busy” sign. And then the Easter Bunny showed up too. We were . So many beautiful memories.
🌸It is so nice to see you around the City and at different events. I am slowly adjusting to retirement. Thank you for all your kindnesses. Wishing you all of life’s blessings.
👋 Please stay in touch! 💛
Hugs,
Patti
