This Week’s Lunch Specials!

This Week at Mon Ami

Greetings, mes amies!

Our little shop is hopping this week, with a fabulous menu of lunch specials and new products arriving, including a whole case of unbelievably delicious hand-crafted chocolates and decadent desserts from our friends at Coastal Mist Chocolates in Bandon! (see above)  This little delicacies are beautiful works of art!

 

Also in the shop are some amazing new bags & backpacks from Rice Love.  I met these folks a couple of months ago on  one of my trips and fell in love with what they’re doing to create work and educational opportunities for women in India.  Each bag is made with recycled rice bags, and every bag sold purchases an additional bag of rice that goes right back to their village.  Mon Ami is now supporting cottage industry projects for women that support recycling & repurposing in India, Nepal (felted bags & purses), Haiti (punched tin artwork), and Vietnam (planting buckets made with recycled tires).   Rice Love is a new company, less than a year old, but has already made a huge impact in two villages.    We’re excited to partner with them and support their efforts!

 

Estate Sale:  This Friday & Saturday, June 5-6, from 9am to 3pm, we’ll be conducting an estate sale at #5 Park Village Drive.  This is a GREAT sale!  There’s a beautiful king-size bedroom suite, living room furniture, Sansung washer & driver, oodles of tools, toolboxes, refrigerator, flat screen televisions …. don’t miss this one!  (Web album will be posted on Wednesday.)

 

Here’s this week’s lunch specials at the Mon Ami Cafe, courtesy of the always creative and ever stylish fashion maven, Chef Diane!

 

Monday:  The Monte Cristo Grilled Sandwich, Soup:  Loaded Potato

 

Tuesday:  Chicken Pot Pie, Soup:  White Bean-Tomato

 

Wednesday:  Turkey Burger w/Avocado-Tomato Salsa, Soup:  Tortilla

This Week at Mon Ami!

Greetings! It’s another busy, bustling week ahead at Mon Ami and Cindy Wobbe Estate Sales. Diane is preparing some delicious lunch specials (check out the Shrimp Melt on Tuesday and the Spinach Frittata on Thursday) and my estate sales team is working overtime prepping for another fabulous sale this Friday and Saturday here in Florence. It’s also the beginning of Rhody Court presentations so I’ll be spending the next several weeks escorting our nine amazing senior girls and boys to local civic organizations for introductions. This afternoon, we’re headed to Elderberry Square to visit all of the residents there and hand out homemade cards that each of our kids have made. If you want to watch a miracle happen, just take a bunch of delightful princesses into a memory care unit and watch them hand out hugs and happiness to the residents. Wish I could take a video to share with you – it’s a beautiful thing to watch.

Upcoming Estate Sale: This Friday & Saturday, 9-3, we’ll be in Florentine Estates for a FABULOUS sale. Lots of beautiful treasures in this lovely home, including a Kimball grand piano, queen oak sleigh bed, two refrigerators, washer & dryer, antiques, artwork, bar, a cook’s kitchen full of necessities, and a garage full of stuff we haven’t even begun to tackle! Florentine Estates is a gated community. You will need to line up and enter at the 35th Street entrance (off Hwy. 101) and follow the map the gate attendant hands you (or just follow my signs once you’re in). We are not allowed to post the street address, but you won’t have any trouble finding it. I’ll be sharing a web album in a few days.

This Week at Mon Ami

Greetings!  It is a beeeeeeuuuuuutiful day here in Florence!  We’ve got a busy week here in Mon Ami Land ahead of us.  We continue to bring in some lovely pieces here at the shop from a local estate, and the team is working hard to prepare for our upcoming sale this Friday & Saturday.  Here’s a little more info for you …

 

Estate Sale this Friday & Saturday (2/27-28).  This is a complete liquidation of the contents of both the home and garage.  As I mentioned last week, this sale is conducted on behalf of Bill and Virginia Butt who many of you will recognize as long-time supporters of our local events center.  Virginia is also an accomplished artist.  Both have moved to Elderberry Square care center and it is our privilege to handle the disposition of their home.  You’ll find a plethora of lovely things here – furniture & antiques, art/painting/needlwork supplies (including a sweet little French portable easel that makes me wish I could paint!), lots and lots of household goods and kitchen appliances, a garage full of tools, clothing, and many of Virginia’s original paintings (as well as one of local artist Bernie Herr).  I’ve posted a few pictures on my website atwww.cindywobbeestates.com and will send out a full picture album on Wednesday.

 

Upcoming Sale:  Hot on the heels of this weekend’s sale is another FABULOUS sale on 3/6 and 3/7 in Florentine Estates.  Stay tuned!
