Changes at Bon Lemon

We want to let all of our Lemon Lovers know about some changes at Bon Lemon. The Lioness, Jill, is having a baby this fall. (We are so excited for her and her surely stylish little lion.) Although, Jill has loved working at Bon Lemon (duh. we are fun.), she decided it might be best for her family if she moved onto a more stable work environment. Jill has an accounting degree and lots of experience doing different things, so she will be an asset wherever she goes. Jill has been instrumental in getting Bon Lemon off the ground. She is stylish, detail oriented, and trust worthy. What else could you want in an employee? We will miss you, Jill and wish you the best of luck wherever your life may take you.



As one door closes, another one opens... We are super duper excited to welcome Brenna to the Bon Lemon team. (I haven't thought of an appropriate pseudonym for Brenna yet...). Brenna brings varied retail experience to Bon Lemon, as well as an eye for design and a perky, fun personality. We know you are going to love her. We do! Brenna has already come up with a number of great ideas for Bon Lemon and we are collaborating on many more. Saweet!



Beginning in April, you will see some different faces around Bon Lemon, but as always we have lots and lots of new sparkle arriving every week. Join us for Friday Happy Hour every Friday from 3-6 when we feature 20% off a group of baubles and complimentary bubbly. Also, join us for It's a Spring Thing... on April 27th for lots of specials and fun with Spruce and Bon Lemon.

Can't wait to see you!

Birthday Party: Indoor Picnic

Two of my friends had birthdays this week, so we decided to have a joint party cruising the lake on a party barge. Only problem... It is not warm. Or sunny. And is supposed to rain. Problematic.



So, we decided to have an indoor picnic at my house. Complete with sun hats, trashy magazines, and yummy treats.



Nothing says picnic like spakling wine in a pink can. With a straw. I am obsessed with these Sofia minis from Coppola Winery. You need some for your summer fete.

I also made strawberry pineapple kabobs. Sweet, easy, and nice to look at.



Combine that with crab and tarragon quiche, tomato, green bean and goat cheese quiche, and corn, mint, quinoa salad and you've got a summer meal! I rarely make the same recipe twice, so it is always a crap shoot for my guests. Might be delicious, might not. (Makes you want to come to my house, doesn't it. ;) Let's hope everything is tasty.



The only thing left is the birthday cake. Today, we are having a whiskey lemon bundt cake. After a near disaster when the cake wouldn't come free from the pan, it turned out quite pretty. I cooked a dime inside, just like my grandma used to. Whoever gets the dime in their piece gets good luck for the rest of the year. (I use this as an excuse to have multiple pieces.)



Happy birthday friends. We may not be able to party outside. But we can bring the fun indoors.
