Our favorite hydrangea tea towels are BACK! 💙🌿

We’ve been anxiously waiting for this restock ever since they sold out way back in early May (seriously...they disappeared FAST! 🤭).

Whether you’re adding a little coastal charm to your kitchen or freshening up your powder room, these Mudpie beauties are one of our all time favorites.

They’re available in store and online now, but if you’ve had your eye on one, don’t wait too long! With fall arrivals just a few weeks away, we’re not sure we’ll be able to get another shipment once these are gone.

Shop in store or online while they last! 💙 https://blue-heron-gifts-boutique.square.site

📅 August Calendar Update 📅
Happy August! 🩵 We’re sharing our August calendar so you can plan your visits with us all month long. We have a few exciting dates to celebrate, along with some important schedule updates to keep in mind.

✨ Friday, August 7th: First Friday ✨
We’ll be open late from 11AM–9PM! Come enjoy an evening downtown and stop in to shop, browse, and say hello.

🩵 Friday, August 21st: Blue Heron’s 7 Year Anniversary! 🩵 Seven years of owning this little shop is something we still can’t believe! We’ll be celebrating all weekend long on Friday the 21st, Saturday the 22nd, and Sunday the 23rd. Stay tuned for all the details because we can’t wait to celebrate this milestone with you!

A few important store updates:
📌 Monday, August 24th–Friday, August 28th: Storefront Closed

As many of you know, my kidney donation surgery is coming up in just a few weeks. My surgery is scheduled for Tuesday, August 25th, and I’ve decided to take Monday the 24th to properly rest, relax, and prepare myself.

My husband will be opening the store Saturday, August 29th and Sunday, August 30th while I continue recovering at home. I’ll have someone helping take care of me for a few hours while he steps away to be at the store.

📌 Monday, August 31st: TBD
I’m currently waiting to hear about my post-surgery follow-up appointments, so I don’t want to promise hours just yet. We are hoping to be open that day, but I’ll share updates as soon as I know more.

Thank you all so much for your continued support, kindness, and understanding during this special month. I’ll do my absolute best to keep everyone updated with my recovery progress and any changes to store hours.

We’re so grateful for this community and can’t wait to celebrate seven years of Blue Heron Gifts & Boutique with you! 🩵
