A lovely walk on a spring day. With Aphrodite.

We were so thrilled this week when we received a shipment from Natori - their beautiful Aphrodite line of sleepwear...gowns, chemises, and pajamas in great colors. The only problem? They'd gotten a little wrinkled in shipping.

What to do? Well, we're used to this particular phenomenon, so we keep a steamer in the back that makes all the lingerie beautiful and ready for you to take home. The only problem - it's pretty time consuming to do each piece separately - and we wanted to make sure that all these lovely pieces were on the floor and ready for you to choose from for Mother's Day! (It's right around the corner, did you remember?)

So - we called in some favors, and were invited to bring the racks of sleepwear down to our favorite department store, where they have a huge steaming closet.

Then there was just the matter of getting them there. It was just a few blocks pushing the racks...observing all traffic laws, of course.
Next, we had to work our way through the mall...without stopping for giant pretzels or shoe sales. (That's dedication, folks.) And lastly...into the steaming closet! It was some extra work - but it meant that SOL customers get the Natori Aphrodite sleepwear two days earlier than if we would've steamed them ourselves, so...well worth it! Have you decided how to honor your mom this Mother's Day? We think the Aphrodite sleepwear is the perfect way to tell Mom how great she is! It's not only comfortable, it really is flattering, so she'll love wearing it and look wonderful, too.

This week, we'll honor a few of our mom's on my blog - so keep checking back. And if you do make it in we have a fantastic Natori Gift with Purchase promo going on. Spend $250 on any Josie and/or Natori items and get a Natori beach towel ($50 value). Summer is, after, all right around the corner!
