First Father's Day

I fondly remember my husband's First Father's Day. We spent the day at one of his favorite places to visit, the Missouri Botanical Garden. It was a delightful June day in St. Louis, not as oppressively warm as it usually is on Father's Day. While touring the flowering gardens, an elderly woman also enjoying the magnificent colors and fragrant scents of Shaw's Garden approached my husband and wished him a happy Father's Day. Then she also told him his daughter was more beautiful than any of the flowers in the garden. My husband, on this his very First Father's Day, beamed with pride! I was so thankful for the encounter with this woman (unknown to us) for adding to the joy of his special day. Her kind words have held a cherished place in our hearts ever since that very 1st Father's Day. So if you ever have an opportunity to make someone feel extra special...just do it! You'll never know the impact your kindness will have on someone, even a total stranger. And if you are still looking for that special gift for Dad or Grandpa, Zoey's Attic can help.

Almost Spring!

Butterfly Gifts from Zoey's Attic

One day it's snow and ice, the next is 60°F and sunny! That has always been the weather challenge here in St. Louis. It's sort of what you see is what you get with absolutely no rhyme or reason. But, I can always tell when Spring is near...the itchy eyes, runny nose, sore throat and laryngitis give it away each year as the doldrums of Winter give way to the awakening of a new Spring.  The sickly annoyances are all worth it because I will soon feel better with the official arrival of Spring.  I am rejuvenated by the wonders of this season with the caterpillars' transformation into the beauty that is the butterfly, the opening of the tree buds and the tulip bulbs blooming in the yard, the sound of the bees buzzing as they begin their important work of pollinating the flowers, and finally the thrill that is Cardinal baseball!  It is also the time to unpack and update the Spring wardrobe that has been stored away for the long Winter season. And, if your little ones have outgrown last Spring's tops, Zoey's Attic can help get you ready for Spring 2014. Zoey's has super sweet Spring t-shirt designs, and if you're updating your kiddo's room Zoey's has adorable pillow designs to complement your theme. You will even find Zoey has gifts that are perfect for Mother's Day! Only 22 days remain until the official first day of Spring! Can't wait!
