First, Second, Third, Fourth

We'll help you keep sparkling all summer.

Last year at this time we said, "Let freedom ring! Let fashion rule!" This year we're just as fired up to celebrate the spirit of America and flex our "look-good, feel-good" muscles. And there's something for every day of this glorious weekend -- from the "First" to the "Fourth!"

BE THE "FIRST": The first to enjoy PANDORA'S "buy two rings, get one free" promotion -- here in full bloom, through July 17. If you haven't stopped in to see these rings, don't wait! A wealth of beautiful gemstones and precious metals combine with fabulous design -- from romantic florals to luminous "droplets." Mix, match, stack and style to your heart's desire. Carla will show you how! 

ANY "SECOND": Time is precious, especially in summer. At People's Pottery we have so many ways to mark time beautifully. Our BERING collection captures the icy elegance of the Arctic: sleek, sporty, and lightweight -- in short, a "blast of cool" on sweltering days. 

And our whimsical Allen Design clocks are the essence of easy, breezy summer!

"THIRD" TIMES THE CHARM: Pandora. Mi Moneda. NanoRosetta. We have so many ways to adorn necklaces, bracelets, even keychains with personal meaning and uniquely-styled combinations. Have you stopped in to see our Killian Facettes? These brilliant gemstones that slip right onto the bracelet combine low-key elegance and to-the-hilt glamour. Perfect for a summer wedding. 

FROM THIS DAY "FOURTH": When holidays wind down, you want to capture their essence and spirit forever. Our NanoRosetta line, now a true phenomenon, preserves entire photo collages, albums and books into a gorgeous wearable medallion. And our Thomas Sabo line lets you wear your heart on your sleeve -- by engraving your sentiments upon a beautiful bracelet. With masculine and feminine styles, this line makes for the perfect wedding, anniversary, or bridesmaid/groomsmen gift.  We are proud to be Rochester's premier destination for "him, her and home," and we hope you'll stop in, cool off, and catch up this summer!

Seven Reasons To Stop In For Summer

Lazy, hazy days? Not so much. When your calendar bursts with graduations, weddings, Father's Day cookouts, brunches, reunions, birthdays and more, it's easy to feel overwhelmed. Streamline your shopping and stop in here for a gift with the personal touch that glows with warmth -- all year round. Our gift wrap is gorgeous, and we ship around the world.

1. No gamble here! Play our Paparte machine and design winning gifts for teachers, grads and more.

It's a kiosk for creativity!

2. Dive into the colors of summers with accent pieces for her, him and home.

Blue and green are on the scene.

3. Pack smart in style with Cinda B.

Classic snakeskin gets a modern twist.

4. This isn't his father's Dopp Kit - but it's great for Father's Day!

Let's get out of town!

5. Engrave a Thomas Sabo bracelet for the groom, bride, grad or dad.

Words of wisdom on the wrist.

6. Present a wedding gift that's more exciting (and elegant) than Tupperware.

The perfect pair.

7. Add a dash of whimsy to your workday.

Paperweights are back. Jellyfish are cool!

Let's Get Personal

Pandora "Forget Me Not" earrings. 

It's May, and we're enjoying the sweet perfume of lilacs, coasting on all the love that's in the air. With all the beautiful gifts we helped you select last week, we know there were many women, in town and around the world, who enjoyed a very Happy Mother's Day!

Our Pandora collection continues to "charm," especially with Carla's attention to detail in helping shoppers build upon their bracelets and explore new options. 

On Monday, our friend Roberta scored the very last, limited-edition Pandora "Bound By Love" charm in our store. With its beautiful 14k bow nestled inside a silver heart, it looks perfect on her Pandora bracelet. 

Roberta also continues to build upon her Mi Moneda collection - both with Mi Moneda medallions and our new NanoRosetta line. 

These medallions can laser-etch everything from family photos and paw prints to the King James Bible, Edgar Allan Poe's "Raven" and the complete works of Leonardo da Vinci, pictured above. If you have a mathematician, art historian, or literary buff preparing to graduate, these medallions make the perfect necklace or cuff link, keychain, money clip, ring, etc. Choose a pre-made design, or "get personal."

Speaking of "personal," you've got to see our new Paparte line. It's a stunning way to thank a teacher, mentor, coach, bridesmaid, co-worker, friend, etc. Choose a unique design to adorn everything from coffee mugs to iPhone covers. We love this line!

Stop in and see us. And if you can't make that out-of-town wedding, bridal shower or graduation, remember that we gift-wrap beautifully and ship around the world.

Cake Platters, Pi Medallions

Celebrate spring with Nora Fleming!

If you've stopped into our store lately, you've probably enjoyed our Nora Fleming display. This beautiful line includes vibrant glassware, serving bowls and elegant platters with interchangeable "minis" for every occasion.

"When people see our trademark pink bird in their local boutique window," says co-founder Nora, "I want them to know that they are one step closer to finding that perfect gift for themselves or a loved one."

Because we delight in offering the perfect gifts for "her, him and home," we are proud to be the boutique of choice for Nora's line!

The "one platter, every occasion" concept (watch the video here) lets you save space, streamline your entertaining, simplify life (yes please) and enhance your tablescape or party decor by adorning the same serving platter with various "minis" to mark any and every occasion, from Easter bunnies to Christmas trees...birthdays and anniversaries...and easy, breezy summer fun.

Some of our Nora Fleming "minis" for spring and summer

We recently gave a Nora Fleming serving piece as a "thank you" gift. These two photos were taken on back-to-back days....a sweet compliment, indeed!

Stop in to see what else is new -- including gorgeous new Mi Moneda and Nanorosetta medallions, especially if you like Pi...a 7,000,000 decimal slice! Your lucky lotto numbers are in there, somewhere...we promise!
