Wild Hare Decor
Christmas Open House will be held November 5th -7th. We hope you will leave with inspiration and ideas for making your home the most festive ever. This year we have some very special arrangements, lots of surprises and maybe a few things a little to far off the wall!
Our pleasure is in creating a unique shopping experience as you wander through our inspirational vignettes. We strive in finding the unusual and different so that your home can be unique. Our merchandise is ever changing and ordered in single or limited amounts. The merchandise when placed in your home should be a reflection of your taste and personality. That’s why, Wild Hare merchandise gets noticed. One of our customers so wonderfully said, “It is what makes your house a home!”
Wild Hare Décor will be collecting diapers throughout the month of November to support the Christ Child Society’s “Crib Club.” We will honor each donation by placing a diaper pin with the person’s name attached on the store’s Christmas tree. The two locations of the Women’s Care Centers assist new and expectant mothers by offering parenting classes, counseling and encouraging good health and self-sufficiency. Through their programs, coupons are earned to be used in the Crib Club which is stocked with new baby clothes, baby care items and diapers. The Christ Child Society provides and organizes these items and staffs the two Crib Club sites.

Do you still go out to Lunch with the Ladies?

How times have changed. Tracy Schneider wrote a blog post on the Al Dente Blog about Ladies Who Lunch . She wrote:
A new Neiman Marcus opened a stone’s throw from Seattle, in Bellevue, a few weeks ago, and I have been looking forward to taking my daughter to the store’s restaurant, Mariposa, even before it opened.
I love going out to lunch with my ten-year-old, but I was particularly excited about this lunch. Not simply because it was a special time to spend together, but because it was also chance for me to go back in time.
Back in time to the Bird Cage, Lord & Taylor’s in-store restaurant that my mother and I would visit for lunch in the ’60s when my family was on vacation in New York City.
I don’t remember there being tables at the Bird Cage, rather ingenious chairs that your lunch tray would be hooked onto once you sat down. The room was always packed, typically with women, rarely a man. Sometimes, models wandered the floor, holding little signs that described the outfits they were wearing. Looking up, and there were dozens of bird cages hanging down from the ceiling.
I don’t remember what we ate at the Bird Cage, but it could easily have been the meal I always order at Mariposa, the lunch plate that comes with chicken salad, fruit salad, a small muffin and the restaurant’s Mandarin Orange Souffle, aka jello.
For Neiman Marcus, that souffle is “the number one ‘ladies lunch’ item throughout the country”. For me it’s a way to travel back in time.
The rest of the article includes a recipe for the souffle. I was wondering after I read the article, do others remember times like this? Do we try to duplicate them with our children? I have 3 boys, so we have been trying to duplicate ESPN zone most days.
