This is Lindsay taking over the newsletter editing job this month for my mom who is marking her 50th birthday this coming Monday, January 24th, and we're ready to celebrate!  Join us from 10am-6pm for cake, munchies and party favors.  That's right--everyone shopping on this special day will receive 10, 15 or 20% off their entire purchase.  Stop in, toast our guest of honor, and check out some changes we're making to the store.  My mom would love to see you!

In many respects, we think of fifty as only half full, half done or half way there.  When it comes to age though, it's important to consider the moments that fifty years were built upon.  Fifty is a milestone, something to be celebrated.  And my mom's life is no exception.  It has taken her through a variety of experiences and today, she owns her dream store in Holly Springs.  Many of you have become close friends, individuals she speaks highly of and enjoys seeing on a regular basis. 

Last weekend, my mom took her January trip to Market in Atlanta and thought of you as she brought in lines for the coming year.  For the past three years and a half years, she has dedicated herself to providing Holly Springs and the surrounding area with exceptional products and the absolute best customer service, hands down.  We celebrate success as the store grows month after month, year after year.  Her hard work has paid off as the store received accolades such as "Best Place to Say Thank You" as voted by the readers of Cary Living Magazine and rave reviews, from brides and wedding professionals alike, for outstanding custom creations and attention to detail. 

My mom launched Petulas.com, The Paper Company's online counterpart, at the end of 2010 and looks forward to building it with the same care and dedication that has made our storefront a local favorite.  While I know she has so much more up her sleeve, I wanted to take this opportunity to honor the success she has created and where she is today.  These reasons, and so many more, are why Ginger and I invite you to share in the celebration honoring Lori and her accomplishments at 50.

See you on Monday!
