June News and Updates

So long spring and welcome summer. June is finally here and the warm weather has arrived in western New York ! It's nice to see everyone walking around in loose fitting clothes, and not bundled up like eskimos !

Warm weather and summer fashion. I love June !

 With summers arrival it's time for street fairs and festivals. The memorial day parade was a blast, and now it's time for Discover Delaware. On June 21st Delaware Ave will feature all your favorite local stores and people from around western New York showcasing their products, goods and services all along Delaware Ave in the lovely Village of Kenmore. There will be live music on the lawn of the municipal building, entertainment, the start of the farmers market where you can purchase some fresh fruits and vegetables, and all kinds of fun gifts, and product ideas from your local merchants.


The Discover Delaware event is a lot of fun, and if you have never been before, you should reserve the day and come down to Kenmore and see what all the fuss is about. I think this also marks the start of Kenmore Days ! Click here to see some images from last years Discover Delaware event. If you're interested in participating as a merchant click here.

Fashion tips for June ...

June fashion should include light materials and light colors. Oranges, pinks, sky blues, and whites are always in fashion this time of year. Spruce up your wardrobe with bright fashion accessories like bangle bracelets, watches, and colored  gemstones and pendants.

 Some June Facts ...

People born in June have multiple birthstones to choose from. Pearls, Alexandrite, and Moonstone are all great choices for this month. Jewelry is always a great gift idea, and you can't go wrong with any of these birthstones for this month. 

June is the 6th month of the year, marking the half way point to 2015. WOW, the first 6 months of this year have flown by ! The summer solstice arrives on June 21st this year, and marks the longest day of the year. What a perfect day for the Discover Delaware event. After June 21st the days slowly start to shorten again, a few seconds each day.

Well that ends the newsletter for June this year. If you've signed up for our quarterly newsletter on our website, we are going to start those soon. If you would like to sign up for our quarterly newsletter please click here. Thanks for reading and have a happy and safe summer everyone ! 

Kenmore NY Memorial Day Parade Pix

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.

Looking For Inspiration I Came Across This

Looking for inspiration on the blog, and our online presence I came across this list of 37 antique jewelry blogs that are simply out of this world. I'd love to take the blog in this type of direction.

Some of the most beautiful and unique jewels are the ones that have previously belonged to someone else’s history. These bloggers love to find these treasures of the past and re-purpose them to give them new life, or wear the jewelry themselves and add their own experiences to the jewelry’s history.

Check out these 37 vintage and antique jewelry blogs.

Happy Mother's Day

Remember to tell mom how much you love her this Mother's Day !

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 !
