Well, it's not Thrifty Thursday but who can resist a sale? Today July 30th and July 31st, Azura is having a stellar final Summer Sale, 70% off the original price. So if there was a special item that you had your eye on, now is the time to go for it. All sales final! Tell 'em Numéro sent ya!
With summer in full swing, more daylight and more vacation time are welcome occurrences. What's better than getting together with friends for a home dinner party while you reminisce about Julys past and watch the kids catch fireflies. If the thought of throwing a classy dinner party is daunting, fear not and check out supplies at the local thrift stores. After a morning excursion with fellow thrifter Swanky Lady Vintage, I pounced on these two swish wine carafes for only $1.50 a piece. These are great to have on hand especially when you plan on serving red and white wine, and not only do they look cool but they are easy to carry and less likely to get knocked over than a wine bottle.
If wine isn't your thing and you'd rather go for a small cocktail party, reach for a handy shaker, this one is fantastic due to the fact that all the recipes are printed on the exterior. This piece was found for $3.99 at a thrift store. Search for mismatched swanky highball, collins, and martini glasses to accompany...it sure beats the lame red party cups. For fun tell the guys to dress in suits and the gals to dress in cocktail dresses, pretty soon your party will look like a scene plucked from Mad Men.

Wouldn't it be great to be in two places at once, I know I wish I could be at times. Well, there is a solution right here in Peoria, Errands by Suzi. If you're like me, once you've worked all day all you really feel like doing is going home, only to find all the things yet to be done--errands, deliveries, stops to the post office. Wouldn't it be great if that was all taken care of? Suzi offers a myriad of helpful services that will help you reclaim your family, social life, and your weekends.
Looking for unique items or gifts with a handmade touch, check out Phoenix Rising in Peoria Heights. They carry everything from folk art, to glass, to vintage. Step in and explore the eclectic ephemera, why settle for cookie cutter items for gifts when you can have a conversation piece? At Phoenix they believe that "art is not only hard work but a noble profession, and that artists work long & hard to perfect their craft."
Finally it's Friday! Time to kick back with family and friends and of course your Numéro drink of the month :) I hope you all have a great weekend basking in the freedom that our service men and women defend everyday. Say a prayer of thanks that they do what they do for their country. Shake their hand and show them you care.
Can you believe it's July already!?! My mind is still in June! But July is always a blast, literally, with all the time with family and friends and fireworks. Plus we have some exciting new things coming this month. Check back at the beginning of next week for the launch of our Numéro podcasts featuring local interests and artists.
