It’s The HUGE Furniture Sale, Going On NOW! January 6, 2009

We’ve just cleaned out the storage area and brought lots and lots of unique, cool, unusual, and totally incredible furniture pieces into the store.  

This is an amazing collection of items that we’ve been hording for a special occasion and that special occasion is now!

Every piece of these exquisite finds are marked way, way down so that we can have room to walk through the store.  Since these are all unique pieces, once they’re gone, they’re gone.  

So get down to Pastiche asap!  You’ll be amazed, astounded and otherwise overwhelmed with the absolute coolest furniture pieces around, and at unbelievably cool prices!

Let It Snow December 9, 2008

What a gloomy day!  And snow is forecasted.  But that’s ok with us.  It puts us in the holiday spirit, even more so.  And we’re freshly decorated for the season thanks to the wonderful talents of Becca.

So if the weather has gotten you down, stop by Pastiche.  We’re bright and cheery and with our wonderful Pas”tea”che you’ll find the glums slipping away and the holiday cheer sliding in.  And if nothing else, you’ll find plenty of fun with our huge selection of toys that are great for kids and adults!

A Greener Pledge October 14, 2008

Pastiche cares about our community and environment.  That’s why Carla pledged to Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce’s Partnership for Sustainability.  By signing this pledge, we’re making an even stronger commitment to evaluating our business operations to make sure that we’re doing everything possible to create and cleaner and greener Springfield.

Carla always looks for companies and manufacturers that share her vision of a better world and tries to support those companies by bringing their products to Pastiche.  Every so often there is a company with some antiquated ideas on shipping.  We always dislike getting shipments packed with styrofoam peanuts.  

Fortunately there are companies, like UPS, that recycle styrofoam packaging.  The peanuts can be used again and again, which makes a lot of sense.  It keeps them out of the landfills and saves companies money on shipping.  It also eliminates the need to manufacturer more of those nasty little things.

We encourage other businesses to look at the Pledge for Sustainability at the Chamber and to think about what we can do to improve our community.  You can find more information at Springfield Area Chamber of Commerce.

And the Winner Is… September 10, 2008

We have a winner from Friday night’s Trivia Question. Many people had the correct answer, so it came down to a random drawing to choose who won the gift certificate.  Jason Booher was the lucky winner and will receive a $50 gift certificate for Pastiche.  Congrats to Jason!

Honorable mention has to go out to Sarah Wiggin. Her answer to what is the definition of the word Pastiche was “A fab store in downtown Springfield, MO!” Carla loved the answer and we all have to agree, Pastiche is fab!

Here’s our new window display that was done for Frist Friday Art Walk:

If you haven’t gotten to see this sculpture piece, swing by Pastiche and check it out.  We’re also looking for a great title to this impressive sculpture, so if you’ve got any ideas, let us know!

Carla in New York August 27, 2008

This one doesn’t count, since this is a shot of Carla, but she sent in a picture of her and her Freitag bag, Rex, at a flea market in Hell’s Kitchen.

This is a fine example of what we’re looking for in our Baggin’ Contest.  So get your pictures in soon!

Carla has been on a buying trip in New York to stock up Pastiche for the upcoming seasons.  Her new finds will be coming into the store very soon and we’re all excited about what she bought.  We’ll keep you posted on all the new goodies as soon as they hit the store!
