A MOST ARTFUL HOLIDAY


So, December is here.
We wish all of you who celebrate a very Happy Hanukkah – and remind you that we are now in our annual OPEN-EVERY-DAY mode. Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa are now open daily through Dec. 24 for all your shopping needs – and yes, that includes Mondays.
This is also a very big week for us for another reason – IT’S TIME TO PARTY!!!
We’ve been mentioning it for awhile – but it’s finally happening this week.
FB EVENT INVITE
Here are the details:
A MOST ARTFUL HOLIDAY EVENT
4 to 8 p.m. FRIDAY, Dec. 7

Maria Luisa invites you to stop by for a very special edition of our annual Holiday ‘Wish List’ Event.
The party – in addition to offering us the chance to raise a glass and have a few light bites in recognition of all of this season’s holidays – is designed to offer the chance to not only dive into your holiday shopping but also allow you to create a holiday wish list, which gently offers suggestions to those who will be coming in this month to shop for you! We’ll have special promotions, raffles and more throughout the evening, one of our favorite events of the year.
The evening’s centerpiece will be the unveiling of the collaboration between Maria Luisa Boutique and Nyack-based artist Johanna Goodman – and we couldn’t be more excited to formally announce this news.
Goodman, an award-winning illustrator whose work has graced the pages of The New York Times to Rolling Stone, from work for the MTA to decorative goods carried by West Elm, is noted for her striking “The Catalogue of Imaginary Beings” series. Her work is amazing – and we think you’ll love what is hitting the Maria Luisa shelves (think totes, pillows and shower curtains) … another way we’re proud to support local talent, creativity and initiative.
The evening will also showcase a number of other local artists and artisans whose work we support throughout the year including one of our newest brands, MacKenzie83, which recently hosted a trunk show of sustainable leather accessories; and jewelry from a perennial favorite, Lisa Medoff Designs.
As always, stay tuned to our social media for event updates throughout the week – but we hope we’ve given you enough of a glimpse that you’re already planning to join us. We can’t wait to show you all we have in store – and thank you in person for your continued support throughout the year.

And, of course, we have another recipe from the Maria Luisa team to share – this week, something special from Cameron, our accountant. (See, everyone gets in on this sharing!).

GERMAN OVEN PANCAKE

Ingredients:
1/2 cup sifted flour
3 slightly beaten eggs
1/2 cup milk
2 tablespoons melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
GERMAN OVEN PANCAKES

Directions:
• Gradually add flour to eggs, beating on medium speed.
• Stir in milk, butter, and salt.
• Thoroughly grease 9 to 10-inch oven-safe skillet (I use a Dutch oven).
• Pour batter into cold skillet.
• Bake at 450 degrees for 20 minutes.
• Loosen pancake from skillet with a wide spatula. Cut into wedges with a sharp knife.
• Serve with powdered sugar, butter and maple syrup, or even some warmed cinnamon applesauce!

What I Like About This Recipe: This recipe is so easy to put together, and it’s fun to watch fluff up in the oven. My daughter and I love to make it on chilly weekends with the oven on to warm the house.


Sounds delicious – and don’t forget, please join us Friday for our PARTY when we’ll share a bit of wine, a lot of creativity and the warmth of the Maria Luisa community.

MARIA LUISA DOES LABOR DAY WEEKEND – BIG!!!



 Yes, we know… Labor Day is not the official end of summer.

But for most everyone, it sure seems to mark the end of the “playful” season.
It doesn’t have to, though – and here at Maria Luisa, we have plenty planned for Labor Day weekend (and beyond) to keep the fun going.

Maybe you’ve got a big backyard blow-out planned for the holiday – or are getting out of town for a long weekend (lucky you!). Stop by our shops for fashions, accessories (beach towels and totes), home goods and of course, hostess gifts that will ensure you’re invited back again and again.

The best part? There’s still time to qualify for our official Summer Raffle. We kicked it off in July and continuing through the end of August, earn tickets through in-store purchases at both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa. Prizes will be drawn on Labor Day weekend and may include anything from a $50 gift card to a Maria Luisa T-shirt, a certificate for 30% off any item to a signature Maria Luisa drinking glass. Check out the full details posted at the register in both our shops.
Breast Cancer Awareness Fashion Show
As mentioned, Labor Day might seem like the end of the fun but it’s actually leading right into some great happenings that include the SeptemberFest Street Fair (Sept. 9), which will this year feature a teaming up of the Nyack Chamber of Commerce with Montefiore Nyack Hospital to include a Breast Cancer Awareness Fashion Show – yes, we are participating – from noon to 1 p.m. There’s also another edition of the Famous Nyack Street Fair set for Oct. 7; the blockbuster Nyack Halloween Parade Oct. 27 – and an autumn Sidewalk Sale (details coming).

Check out our Community Calendar for these and other great events.
And a friendly reminder, as it’s on a Monday, our shops will be closed on Labor Day itself.
The Maria Luisa team will be taking a breather with friends and family – and we hope you’ll be doing the same!

INDEPENDENCE DAY COMES EARLY…


If you haven’t heard, Nyack is kicking off its Fourth of July festivities a bit early.
The village’s annual Fourth of July Fireworks Celebration is set for this Saturday, June 30, in Memorial Park.
FIREWORKS JUNE 30
The event always draws a big crowd to town, giving the entire day of the fireworks an exciting buzz that we just love.
And why not make a day of it? Hit the town long before the fireworks, stroll the streets, grab a bite…
OPEN TOES
Of course, we’ll be joining in the fun at both Maria Luisa Boutique and ML by Maria Luisa, so we hope you’ll also plan to stop by and say hello.
WHAT TO WEAR? JULY 4th IDEAS
We invite you to check out our summer fashions, accessories, gifts and more – and while you’re here, join us for a complimentary glass of lemonade or iced tea.
We hope you’ll also take advantage of our “summer SALE blast-off” with promotions scattered throughout the shops.
HOSTESS GIFTS
We’re already looking forward to the day – and remember, the fireworks will start at 9 p.m. in Memorial Park, along the Hudson River at the end of Depew Avenue.
(Rain date is Sunday, July 1).
THE MARIA LUISA CYBER SALE IS COMING!
