Traditionally, Black Friday is the busiest shopping day of the year. Also, traditionally, small shops are relegated to a lonely existence as shoppers throng to the malls and big box stores. At The Bronze Lady, Black Friday was anything but a lonely day. We're pleased and thankful to all our customers who defied convention and visited us on Black Friday. We had a great day.

Bill, Kimberly and Tara were waiting for Rosie to arrive for the first tailgate party of the season to kick off the arrival of the Vera Bradley Stadium Blanket in all the fall colors.

No. Instead she enlisted the help of Melissa, who wasn't so sure she wanted to be a human Barbie doll at first but then really got into it. And before you knew it Melissa was modeling items from our Brighton collection
