The August Rush

   August is here — ushering in the end of summer and painting the world in the warm hues of sunflowers and sunset skies! It’s a month that feels slow and easy as we savor the heat and begin to settle back into our routines. We may be proprietors of the easy breezy lifestyle, but this month is no stranger to falling victim to the hustle and bustle of every day life in a small business. Between sales, events, back to school, and preparing for a new seasons arrival, one could get lost. Never fear! We are here to give you all the important ins and outs of Brick + Ivy Market in August!

   First is the biggest sales of the year! Sidewalk Sales in Downtown Holland & Downtown Saugatuck are a must participate event! join us as we go crazy with markdowns and have our biggest discounts of the entire year! This is a great time to snag a deal...or two...or three! Our Holland location's sale will be August 8th & 9th. Our Saugatuck location's will be on August 21st.

   Next is the dreaded back to school shopping! We know, you don't even want the thought to form in your head, so let us make it easy for you this season! Whether you're a teacher preparing for the school year or a student gearing up for that first day back to classes, we have everything you need. comfortable, yet stylish, articles of clothing, self care must haves for those late nights writing/grading papers, and even some treats for a job well done!

    Last, but certainly not least is to make sure to savor those Summer vibes! We leave you with the memories to still be made this season and with the promise of a new one right around the corner!

“I love borders. August is the border between summer and autumn; it is the most beautiful month I know. Twilight is the border between day and night, and the shore is the border between sea and land. The border is longing: when both have fallen in love but still haven’t said anything. The border is to be on the way. It is the way that is the most important thing.”
