Special Guest Lillian Charles


Clients of "Wardrobes by Lillian Charles" have called Lillian a wardrobe consultant, fierce fashionista, personal stylist and “closet-tamer.” Instead of urging women to buy completely new wardrobes, Lillian shows her clients how to breathe new life into items they already own by creating fun, fresh pairings and giving classic looks an updated twist. Her goal is to make your wardrobe effective, efficient, and inspiring without having to spend your hard earned money on a bunch of new pieces. And we’re bringing her to you for free at our Spring Fling! She’ll style you on the spot this Monday from 1pm-7pm. Bring in an item or two that you haven’t been able to work into your wardrobe and Lillian will give you ideas on how to best compliment the piece.

Want to take her home with you? We’re raffling off a free two-hour session of in-home styling with Lillian. Make sure to enter for a chance to win when you shop with us this Monday.

Two events this Saturday!

We're closing our March workshop series with a bang this Saturday: back by popular demand, "Closet Chaos to Closet Confidence" by Bonnie Kallenberg, our fearless leader, will inspire you to spring clean your stuffed closets and excavate your personal style in the process. Bonnie has probably evaluated more pieces of clothing than any other person in Atlanta, and her workshop will teach you how to get control of your closet with organizational strategies that are easy to implement once you take the plunge...and she's all about getting started! Bonus: she'll also give you a few pointers about successful consigning, which is great since spring (and spring cleaning!) are officially here. This workshop will begin at 9:30am sharp this Saturday, March 24th.

You're invited to a Shredding Event! What better way to show paper who's boss by telling it where to go and how to there? In this case: on a secure Ecoshred truck that will shred your paper on site. Talk about satisfying. Celebrate your victory by safely destroying old documents during this shred event at Finders Keepers Furnishings. The cost is $6 per box (computer-paper sized box), and will be held from 12pm - 2pm this Saturday, March 24th. Learn more about Ecoshred on their official website: www.ecoshredding.com.

Both of these events will be held at Finders Keepers Furnishings:
2753 E. College Avenue in Decatur.
