Happy as a CLAM on a Tuesday!

Happy Tuesday Happy Clammers!


Well Thanksgiving weekend has come and gone and our jeans are fitting a little snugger after all the holiday eating.. I figure that’s what the holidays are for. Right?!
It was a bit strange this year not cooking, cleaning and traveling of course! We had a nice quiet turkey day- My in laws came in town and my what a big help they were with everything! From hanging blinds, unpacking boxes, and of course keeping an eye on Mason- the most important job of all!

We had lunch at the club, took a golf cart ride, and then came home with MAJOR food comas!

On to Happy Clam news, the trunk show at Monkee’s this past weekend was a huge success! We were so happy to meet new customers and catch up with some from our last show. I just have to say there are some REALLY good gift givers out there! We also had a great response to our new stud earrings! They are the perfect gift and add that little bit of preppy flair to any outfit :)

We also heard from several of our stores and we are so thrilled that they had great Happy Clam weekends too. We are going to be busy like little bee’s working to get all the orders finished, sealed and shipped! Oh but we are excited! One thing I really love about doing these trunk shows is working with my customers and getting to see their creative ideas come to life. I am doing so many more orders that I had never thought about  doing only because they hadn’t crossed my mind yet! Being able to collaborate to make a piece that really reflects the creativity of someone else and being able to bring that to life for them is just the most exhilarating feeling... I believe it would be just like that feeling you get when you are about to take your first jump from the plane on a skydive trip. Yes, just like that, but I also have never been skydiving so I hope you all will just take my word for it that it definitely feels like that!  
And a little monogram painting treat of Mrs. Happy Clam herself hand painting monograms for a special customer the night before the trunk show! Mr. Happy Clam caught her in action! (Compliments of Alex, our Creative Director!)

The boys stopped by the trunk show to say hello!
                    
                                                 
 Anyway, things at the new house are really starting to come together thankfully! I just can’t wait to get everything all set up for the holidays! Pictures to follow as soon as we get everything all set up!
Hope you all had a Happy Thanksgiving weekend and are getting back to it! Christmas is JUST around the corner!!!
 
Till next time,
Jenny
