Win a prize!
Filed Under Good Cause!
Occasionally, the Shop Tart gets nice notes from people or business owners after they read about themselves here. She finds this very charming and, each time it happens, wishes she herself were better about writing notes. Maybe some fab new stationary from Jot or Burlap would help…
Sometimes, public relations people contact the Shop Tart. This is also exciting. Just last week, it was particularly exciting, because they wanted to send her something free for you, dear reader. The Shop Tart loves prizes, although she rarely wins them. When she was 7 years old, she and her mother were shopping at Tapp’s in Trenholm Plaza (remember that one?) where the Shop Tart made her mother register for a drawing. Her mother*, who didn’t even want to bother, won a prize! Twenty years later, she gave the prize to the Shop Tart.
This excellent book contains recipes for both dinner and supper, two distinctly different meals (Who knew?) Also, this book started the Shop Tart’s lifelong obsession with ugly pictures of food. The Shop Tart herself once won a french coffee press at Mary and Martha’s. Thrilling!
You, too, deserve the excitement of winning a prize and the good people at Invisibelt want to help. M Boutique carries them if you want to see what they’re all about. Possibly the most useful fashion tool since Stylin’ Tape (available at Tullulah), the Invisibelt comes in clear or black. Use it to cinch up that blousy dress or top from last year that’s begging for a waist. And Invisibelt seamlessly covers the button at the top of your jeans that pokes out, makes you look kind of pregnant and ruins the line of your sweater. You want one! And you can have one for free! Just send the Shop Tart a Thanksgiving food picture - your plate, a turkey, the buffet, a particularly hideous casserole. There won’t be any extra points for odd props like a pot of African Violets or a mushroom-shaped candle, but they will make the Shop Tart very happy. She’ll make a list of all the pictures she receives by Wednesday, December 3rd, put them in a hat and randomly choose a winner. Good luck!
In other news…

Happy Shopping and don’t forget to tell them you read it on the Shop Tart!
* Who, in her defense, probably had two toddlers with her, in addition to the Shop Tart and possibly a bun in the oven. As you can imagine, the Shop Tart was not the easiest child to take shopping. She could never quite find the outfits she pictured in her head, which is not to say Tapp’s wasn’t a nice store. It was, but they didn’t carry couture for 7 year olds back then. By the way, did you know Marysia has a children’s line (click on “collections” and “bumby” to view)? The Shop Tart’s seven-year-old self would have loved it! And have you seen Phillip Lim’s line for children? Ahhhh…
