Kenmore NY Memorial Day Parade Pix

Helene with messy wind blown hair handing out flyers.
Memorial Day weekend was a blast. As the parade marches right by our shop we decided to open up for a few hours, enjoy the parade, meet some of the neighbors, and hand out a few flyers to promote our business.

If you have never been to the Kenmore N.Y. memorial day parade you should really check it out. It's a lot of fun, with all kinds of cars, bands, motorcycles, fire companies, and locals hero's marching down the street. It's one of those events, that as a local you look forward to every year.

Here's some of the highlights of the parade this year. 
Military trucks, bands, antique fire engines, motorcycles and vendors with really cool hair were all featured in the parade this year.

This drummer didn't miss a beat, and the bag pipe players were phenomenal. I love hearing the sounds of music filling the air each memorial day in remembrance of our lost and fallen soldiers.

Here's some of Ken-Ton's finest marching with flag in hand !
The Elks lodge had a fun float with this patriotic guy waving to the fans.

May News Letter and Monthly Update.

Hooray, hooray, for the month of May !

Better late than never. Like spring I'm getting a late start on the monthly update article. Things have been busy, we're blogging, and doing the whole social networking thing and working on different ways to introduce people to our products. We decided to run a marketing experiment with Bitcoin ! If you've never heard of Bitcoin, it's a decentralized crypto currency and great way to pay for things on the internet. We just put our first Bitcoin offer on our website, and if that goes well , we will be adding more products with time.

The first item we decided to sell for Bitcoin is a really cute Sterling Silver Peace Sign Pendant. The item is only $13.95 for U.S. Bitcoin users in the lower 48 states. It includes shipping, and is a special offer for online Bitcoin users only. If you live in the local area, it's also available in our store front cash or credit only.

First item now available for Bitcoin here.
 So we're really moving into the digital age with Bitcoin. We went from no internet presence what so ever, to a website, social networking with Facebook and Google +, and now payments by Bitcoin, and Pay Pal. The time's they are a changing.

Here's a little May related info. May represents the beginning of Spring so it should really come as no surprise that the birthstone for that month is green. This month's birthstone is Emerald. Emeralds are usually a deep or pale green, with small inclusions called gardens that give it the nice deep rich color. Emeralds look great on solitaire pendants, and are beautiful set in rings. Emeralds can also add a nice touch of spring and summer color to earrings and your summer wardrobe.

We have a couple holidays this month. Sunday May 11th is Mother's Day. Need a couple gift ideas for mom ? Mothers Rings have multiple colored stones that represent each of the mothers children. They make a really nice traditional gift for mom that will certainly become a family heirloom for generations to come.  Mom's also like purses, scarves, bengal bracelets, and knick knacks for around the house. Stop in the shop and let us help you find the perfect gift for mom.

Make mom happy this Mother's Day with Jewelry from Helene's Mostly Jewelry in Kenmore N.Y. 14217
  Memorial Day falls on the 26th so fly those American flags high and remember those soldiers lost but not forgotten. Let our veterans know that they are loved and remembered long after they are gone.
Happy Memorial Day, and to all our veterans thanks for serving !
With that said, May really does start the beginning of the spring and summer season. This means parties, beaches, motorcycles, and all kinds of celebrations. Be careful this summer, watch out for motorcycles, drive safe, and celebrate responsibly.  To all the mom's we wish you Happy Mother's Day, and to all our veterans, thanks for serving ! Have a great spring and summer everyone !

Gorgeous antique car drives by Helene's Mostly Jewelry in the Memorial Day Parade.
This antique car was absolutely gorgeous.
My favorite car featured in the parade.
This car was great. My favorite entry in the parade. I think this is a Buick Skylark GS maybe 1971. What a beauty.

The parade was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoyed the pix.
