KEEP IN MIND
 

Vee at Maria Luisa Boutique, Nyack NY

Join us from 5 to 8 p.m. Sept. 6 for the third  edition of Nyack's newest series, "First Friday Nyack."

As you've hopefully seen the past two months, the  downtown shops and businesses are hosting all kinds of art-themed activities during this monthly event, sponsored by the Nyack Art Collective.
We've really jumped into the spirit of things, already hosting visual artists and performers.
This month, swing by and do a little shopping while also enjoying the work of Rockland-based fine-art and documentary photographer Laurie Peek (you might remember her from her exhibition, which focused on the "extraordinary in the ordinary," here last year) and then a performance by vocalist Veundja Katuuo aka Vee. Raised in Rockland, Vee studied as a child at the Rockland Conservatory of Music and since continues her passion for music singing locally. Accompanied by Brian Aherne of the Hook Mountain Boys and Nate Benjamin of Regret the Hour, Vee tells us we can "expect a feel-good time!" The festivities will be focused in the lower-level gallery space of ML by Maria Luisa (Gifts and Accessories).
For more on the series, contact Tracy at Vincent's Ear or check out our Facebook page for the latest updates.

 






'Street' talk    

Have you been to any of Nyack's street fairs this year? Believe us when we say they are a great way to spend a few hours - or an entire day.

Wander from booth to booth set up throughout the business district of Main Street and Broadway and just enjoy the mix.

We'll be set up again out front of both our shops for SeptemberFest, which runs from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Sept.  8. Say hello- and be sure to check out all we've got both out front and inside, as well.  

For more details, visit the sponsoring organization, the Nyack Chamber of Commerce.

SEPTEMBER NEWS AT MARIA LUISA


Greetings!  
Wow. Summer's not officially over for a few more weeks, but the turning of the calendar to September always seems like a fresh start (remnants of those old back-to-school days, right?).
We had a great August with our First Friday Nyack event going so well (the next is coming soon- check out the sidebar for more details).
That came just a few days after our exciting storytelling event, which turned out better than we could have ever imagined. Thanks again to all who participated in the evening that included fiction, nonfiction, poetry and a few surprises.
This month, we've got a street fair coming up - and are looking forward to a most artful autumn. 
A Magical Evening of Storytelling at ML by Maria Luisa

You hopefully have been enjoying the Local Arts Index, a weekly column that appears on Nyack News & Views and is sponsored by Maria Luisa Boutique. We've come to know even more of the wonderfully talented artists right here in our own backyard through this feature.
And what's art without an audience? We have hosted a number of exhibitions over the years and are looking forward to a pretty special one we have coming up next month. Of course, we'll give you the full details soon - but basically, it's going to be a group show that includes many of the artists who have been profiled in the column.
We think it's going to prove an exciting mix of talent and personalities and the chance to showcase a great range of styles. (And since the column has spotlighted so many, we're planning on a companion exhibit for December, as well).
As you know, the arts are important to us all at Maria Luisa, so keep in mind Maria is always looking for artists to participate in future First Friday events.
Please feel free to be in touch. Let us know what you do - and we'll try to find a way to work it into our schedule.

As always, our exhibition space in
ML by Maria Luisa (ML Gifts) remains available for shows, too.
Oh, and did we mention that our new fall fashions are in full swing? We have a selection that we think is really going to impress. It's yet another edition of our trademark offerings - styles that suit all bodies and keep you feeling "always feminine." We're looking at arrivals continuing well into the month, with your favorite brands and some newcomers spicing things up. No matter, you know you're going to be loving the flattering silhouettes and wonderful textures, the rich colors and stylish prints. Oh, and don't forget the footwear, jewelry and ... well, you get the idea.
As always, our team is at the ready  to help with selections and advice.
We look forward to seeing you soon.
 
WE WISH YOU A 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'!     

As we've mentioned here before, we recently transitioned to a new Mac-based sales system. It allows us to do so much more - including a very special feature. We can now keep track of the birthdays of you, our preferred customers. So please, next time you're in, share that date with us - and we'll be happy to help you celebrate in style when your special day rolls around. When you shop with us on your actual birthday, we'll treat you to 10% off your entire purchase. Can't come shopping on your birthday? Well, we'll send you a personal birthday greeting on your birthday and $5.00 via email to spend ( valid for 2 weeks from your birthday) when you visit MLB and ML. Just promise us a piece of cake, ok? 

 

 
ON THE BLOGGING FRONT     

As we mentioned, our storytelling evening was a really rewarding event for us. We were not only sending updates via Facebook throughout the evening but put together a bit of a recap for the Maria Luisa blog. And that's what we plan to do more of. We love keeping in touch with you through these monthly newsletters - and via Facebook and Twitter in between - but the blog gives us another way to offer more details on our events, let you know about things that are arriving - and really just help us keep in touch with you. Check out the blog - let us know what you think - and please sign up for updates.
