Silly Bandz...the rubber band craze at Frill Seekers

So...it's Saturday night and I am just S*I*L*L*Y! Why you might ask? Let's just call it one of those "Why didn't I think of that moments?"

Unless you've been hiding under a rock somewhere or in a foreign country...you've likely spotted these festive little silly shaped rubber bands on some kid's wrist. Meet SILLY BANDZ. Kids want them...Frill Seekers Gifts has them!

The rubber bands are in the shape of creatures, animals or fun shapes when not on the wrist. Really kinda cute, I must admit. Kids, teenagers and even adults are collecting them~trading them~wearing them!

Silly Bandz are fun, inexpensive and addictive. They will also make a great stocking stuffer for Christmas 2009. Last week, we sold out in 2 days. WHEW! (for my fellow shop owners who STALK this blog for ideas...I say come up with your own creative idea...wink, wink!)

Call us to get some silly...850-267-GIFT !

The other reason I'm silly tonight? My oldest child is at a beach bonfire, while the youngest is at a laser tag station. Leaving me to ponder what new hobby I can take up to fill my quiet Saturday nights.

One thing for sure...it will have to be something...SILLY!

A certain famous female golfer just received this monogrammed baby pillow from Frill Seekers and loved it!

We love making unique gifts "fore" celebrities. In this case, the gift fits the new mommy, a pro golfer, to a "tee!" This beautiful pillow will look adorable in the new baby's nursery! The pillow is a linen flak seed color with a yummy bubblegum monogram. It is finished off with a sheer baby pink ribbon. When the little princess grows up...she can use this for a ring bearer pillow for her wedding. AWWWW!

This pillow would also look stunning for an adult bed. The paper dolls at Frill Seekers recommend monogramming it in ivory or chocolate brown. Each pillow includes a fluffy insert.

From grief, a party in pink is born (PHOTOS)

Heidi LoCicero, co-owner of Frill Seekers Gifts in the Village of Baytowne Wharf, is channeling grief into productivity by throwing a Tinkled Pink Party at Graffiti’s in Sandestin on Thursday.


LoCicero lost her mother-in-law to breast cancer about five months ago. Her daughter Peyton, 16, who is a member of the Fort Walton Beach High School Stars dance team, also recently lost her coach, Charlotte Dry, to the disease.

“In the process of grieving and trying to figure out why bad things happen, we realized that we could channel that sadness into building a really great event,” LoCicero said. “It has been a hard year for the family, but we just explained to the children that we can make a difference.”

The mother-daughter team have been working together, in association with the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation, to plan the event. According to LoCicero, she had expected the preparations to take longer, but the response from the community was so great that it came together in just a few months.

Graffiti’s offered to provide a location for the party and lunch for the ladies. And several local businesses, including Aloha Surf Company, The Village Boutique, M Cline Jewelry, CoCo & Co., Mermaids Boutique, Tales by the Sea and Bark Avenue, have donated items for the fashion show and silent auction.

“The local community immediately got behind it,” LoCicero said. “It has really been heartwarming to see that even in bad times people still want to do something good.”
The event will take place at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 8 and will celebrate survivors of breast cancer and honor the memory of the women who have died from the disease. LoCicero said the event is an opportunity for ladies from the community to get together and relax while raising money for the Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation.

For tickets, which are $20 and include lunch, door prize entry and the fashion show, contact Frill Seekers Gifts at (850) 267-4438. Attendees are encouraged to don their favorite hats and wear something pink.

“Come for two hours and spend some time with your girlfriends,” LoCicero said. “It’s going to be a fun, casual event that will have a big impact.”

NEWS RELEASE
THINK PINK PARTY! ONE FOR THE GIRLS!

You know life is too busy when you can't find an hour or two to squeeze in lunch with your best girlfriends! It's usually when daily routines get the most hectic that you really need the love and support of your favorite friends---those girls with whom you can laugh until your belly aches, talk on the phone for hours and hours, and share your innermost thoughts.

Next Thursday, October 8th at 11:30 a.m., Emerald Coast ladies will have just opportunity to shop, dine and relax at a festive party with a purpose: The Frill Seekers Gifts/Vera Bradley Breast Cancer Foundation Tickled Pink Party/Luncheon and Fashion Show. Taking place at Graffiti's Restaurant at Sandestin's Baytowne Wharf, this event will celebrate Breast Cancer Survivors and honor the memory of those who lost the battle with a pink themed luncheon complete with pink lemonade and pink ice tea and topped off with pink cupcakes and strawberry pink ice cream!

A stunning fashion show will feature fall and winter clothing collections from CoCo and Company, Tales by the Sea, Mermaids Boutique, The Village Boutique and howling cute doggie fashions from Bark Avenue. A sneak peek at Vera Bradley's winter 2009 collection of handbags, stationery, and travel accessories will be featured from Frill Seekers Gifts in Baytowne Wharf.

The Tickled Pink Party will also feature a silent auction of incredible pink gifts, and a presentation by the Vera Bradley Foundation's national ambassador, Heidi Floyd, who is flying into Destin for the event. As a special treat, the first 50 guests to RSVP, will receive a Vera Bradley limited edition gift.

Event founder, Destin resident, Heidi LoCicero and her 16 year old daughter Peyton, created the event to honor Peyton's grandmother, Inez Addison LoCicero, who lost her battle with breast cancer just months ago. "Peyton and I were struggling with grief and felt that we should find a way to not only honor my mother in law's memory, but to raise funds---in a fun way---to help find a cure," said Heidi LoCicero. "This was the perfect way to include the entire community and raise awareness," explained Peyton LoCicero.

Peyton, who is a member of the Fort Walton Beach High School Stars Dance team, also recently experienced the loss of the Stars long time coach, Mrs. Charlotte Dry, to the disease. "My team and I miss Mrs. Dry every day and know that by supporting events like this one...that we can save lives," said Peyton. A special Hope Grows Memory Wall at the event will feature Mrs. Dry's photo and event guests are invited to bring photos of their loved ones who have been or are affected by Breast Cancer!

"There's no better place to celebrate life and bond with your BFF's than at a fabulous event, doing fabulous things," LoCicero said. Tickets for the Luncheon are $20.00 which includes a door prize entry, lunch and the style show. Reservations are required. Contact Frill Seekers Gifts at 850-267-4438 for additional information or donate to the cause.
