Ho Ho Holy Moly!

We heard all kinds of commotion up on our roof the other day. When we walked outside to investigate, we could hardly believe our eyes...All of our most beloved Christmas characters had magically appeared above our awning!

Joseph and Mary were there, a sheep, a camel and Santa, who offered as a gift, not Gold or Frankincense, but a huge peppermint lollipop.

Frosty was there too, and an elf and Santa's very own mini-me.

And best of all...Rudolph guiding Santa's sleigh. We decided he may have had one too many Hot Buttered Rums. Why else would his nose light up?!?

Come by and have a look at the festive show at Frock at 1439 NE Alberta Street. And inside the shop, we have all kinds of goodies to make the holidays merry and bright for you and yours. We'll show you some of our favorites on our next post!

Walk with a Purpose...And a Red Wig!

These are our friends Harper and Amie and their delicious daughter Nari Fae. Harper and Amie are among our nearest and dearest. They are amazing, creative people and oh, so, easy to love. Just before the birth of their daughter last summer, Harper was diagnosed with ALS, also known as Lou Gerhig's disease. So, while they celebrate the joys of parenthood, Harper and Amie are also confronting the challenges and unknowns that go along with a diagnosis of ALS.

Defeating ALS is a special cause to us here at Frock. Wanna help? Good, we knew you would! There are several ways to get involved!

Please join us for....

The Walk to Defeat ALS
Sunday, September 26, 2010
Check in 11:00 am
Starting at the World Trade Center
121 SW Salmon Street

We call ourselves "Team Red Wig", partly as a nod to Harper's ginger hair, but also because it's something wild. For us, it's about "wigging out", being bold and creative, just like Harper. This guy thinks so far outside the box that there is no box left when he's done! Everyone who has ever known him has been inspired to try harder, risk more and dream big. Frock wouldn't exist if it wasn't for Harper.

We are also proud to sponsor the fabulous design made possible by Mike Buckley and Katie Meadows for our "Team Red Wig" tee shirt this year.


Don't want to walk?
That's o.k. You can still buy a tee shirt!
The design will be in red (of course!) on a blue tee.
Only $24 sizes: men's and women's small - extra large
All profits will go to fight ALS.
