Ohh La La

That's how you'll feel when you have on an ultra wide brim sun hat from San Diego Hat Company. Whatever the occasion - Steeplechase, Derby, pool side, resort, or simply pruning the roses- be perfectly put together and delicately shielded from the sun. These hats have a UPF 50+ rating for excellent UV protection.

It Takes a Village to Make a Window

Rather, in the Village we put up a new window. Bright leaves flutter in a pink tree, which is complete with an adorable rope swing! It's the perfect complement to the warmer days and sunny dresses we've been getting. Have a super fun in the sun weekend, and good luck to all you Country Music Marathoners!

Cocktail Fridays!

Cocktail Friday every Friday from 5-6 pm

Enjoy a sip and shop awhile!

Not JUST Scarves...

Also just in: freshly picked jewels. This tempting crystal covered cuff is whispering "Sarah, you know you need to have me" and I feel like I really do! Don't I? Pretty sure you're gonna find quite a few things whispering to you when you come by...

Earth Day

Fire Finch is celebrating Earth Day in a big way!

Beginning April 3rd until Earth Day, April 22nd, Fire Finch will donate a portion of the profits from a select group of items to the Nature Conservancy. The items include the ever popular Envirosax, the super cute owl mugs and boxes as well as a perfect assortment of sterling silver animal stud earrings.

And to make it fun for you we are having a drawing for a $100 Gift Certificate! How do you enter the drawing you may ask? Just be a little green! Every time you refuse a paper bag and packaging you can enter to win the Gift Certificate! Check out the rules below.....

Here at the Finch we have been making an effort to be a little Greener. We have eliminated paper towels at our sinks in favor of cute hand towels. We are recycling all of our office paper and cardboard boxes. We purchased a Brita Filter to cut out bottled water. We have started switching out our light bulbs for the new compact fluorescent bulbs. We are upgrading our surge protectors to conserve electricity. We open the doors instead of turning on the AC. We walk or bike to work when we can. We all have Envirosax and take them to the grocery and on errands (most stores now give you cash back for bringing your own bags!). And last but not least we keep looking for cool new enviro friendly products to bring to all of you out there!

So remember, Kermit was wrong, It is Easy to be Green!

New Arrivals

Jan has really done it this time. I think little J-Baby is going lose money this week in her paycheck after her Jan shopping spree. Everyone is dying over the new Pretty in Lace design (picture in (a) and (b) above). The delicate lace overlay on pearl or green glass is too amazing to describe. Pictured in (c) is the lovely deco bracelet available in brass or silver. I think the cuff design in (d) is very Aztec. Moving along to the French is the cute bow ring with black onyx button pictured in (e). And maybe one of her best selling designs is the Book of Love locket shown closed in (f) and open in the last picture. The locket has room for 4 pictures and is on a 32" chain for length and layering.

Of course we have much more so keep checking for new designs here or pop in the store!
Also look out for us in the April issue of Lucky! Or so we think, the fact checkers called again to make sure we were the real deal!
