December 8th – Mud Pie Giveaway!

On December 8th, Sparkling Tiara is pairing the perfect candle with the perfect match. We’re of the opinion that a candle with no matches can be about as disappointing as a toy with the label “batteries not included.” That’s why customers will receive a free set of Mud Pie Christmas themed matches with the purchase of a Voluspa Candle.

Start the month of December with a touch of sparkle and visit our store during this Saturday’s special giveaway. We have a variety of scented Voluspa candles to choose from and plenty of holiday themed match sets to match! Voluspa candles are the perfect home accent any time of year. They are a great way to add some atmosphere to friendly gatherings, a romantic dinner at home, or quiet time. It’s always a good idea to have a few nice candles handy, and since the holidays are upon us there’s no better time to make sure that you and your friends are stocked up.

Stunningly packaged Voluspa candles are an extra special touch because they combine simple beauty with luscious scent combinations such as Baltic Amber, Belle Sucre, French Cade and Lavender, Santiago Huckleberry, Gardenia, Sued Blanc, and Gojil and Tarocco Orange. These unique candles are a store wide favorite, so we want to make a holiday special offer that really shines.

Mud Pie’s match sets are the perfect one of a kind complement to our candles. The beautifully designed containers are a cute and safe way to store matches. Keep a set of Mud Pie matches visible near the fireplace or candle collection as an extra bit of cheery flare. In honor of the season, Sparkling Tiara is offering these sets in a variety of traditional holiday designs. Each colorful tube contains 75 matches that are 12” long – perfect for lighting the fireplace or a favorite candle.

Now’s the perfect time to pick up the candle you’ve had your eye on for a friend or for yourself.  Let your light shine and don’t forget to come visit Sparkling Tiara this Saturday (December 8th) for the Mud Pie match set giveaway!

Special Giveaway cannot be combined with any other offers or discounts.Giveaway December 8th, 2012.

Bring out the Sparkle for “Starry Nights and Christmas Lights”

Tis the season for good deeds and grateful hearts, family gatherings, and community events!  Sparkling Tiara has never been happier to be a part of the Mount Juliet community. This month, we find ourselves serving more customers in more ways (in store and online) and relishing opportunities to bond with our friends and neighbors.

One of our favorite community gatherings is the annual Mount Juliet Christmas Parade.  This year’s theme is “Starry Nights and Christmas Lights,” and we plan to bring out the Sparkle! Come out at 6pm this Saturday, December 8th, to watch the parade and help celebrate Mount Juliet’s 40th year.

The parade route is along Mount Juliet Road: the start point is First Baptist Church and the end point is Charlie Daniels Parkway. Dance and sing along as marching bands play your favorite Christmas tunes. Hang out with Santa and his special helpers. And don’t forget to look out for the Sparkling Tiara family! We’ll be strutting our stuff down the parade route, and sharing sparkling smiles and holiday merriment with everyone we meet. Don’t worry, you won’t miss us: just think pink! We’ll be decked out in our usual regal splendor.

Bundle up, gather your friends and family, and stake your claim to a prime viewing spot along the parade route. Don’t forget to let your little princesses don their tutus, wands, and wings – we’d be delighted to see some royalty amongst the crowds. We’re looking forward to the opportunity to take a break and share some Christmas cheer with you, our Mount Juliet friends and neighbors. So join us for this cherished community tradition, and ring in the holiday season with an unforgettable Christmas parade.

You bring the smiles (and a camera!), and we’ll bring the Sparkle!

Tutu Good: Guests Will Enjoy Free Refreshments, and a “Tutu Cute” Bag Giveaway in Honor of Sparkling Tiara’s 2nd Anniversary

Once upon a time – well, two years ago – Sparkling Tiara opened its magical doors in Mount Juliet, Tennessee! We’ve helped plenty of princesses celebrate enchanted birthdays, and we’ve given loads of divas a place to strut their stuff during bachelorette bashes. Now it’s time for you to help us celebrate our 2nd anniversary! We’re looking forward to another sparkling holiday season – and we think there’s no better way to mark our 2nd year of business than with a party!

This week, we’d like to invite all of you – our royal extended family – to our 2nd anniversary celebration (which just happens to be on “Pink” Friday). On Pink Friday, November 23rd, Sparkling Tiara will be open from 6am until 7pm. We’ll have refreshments available all day long – so take a break from the rush and come in for a chat and a snack.

Our sassy store is an oasis of calm and sparkle – a perfect stop during a long day of shopping. Whether you’re a returning customer or a newcomer, we’ll be delighted to have you help us celebrate. Let us impress you with our friendly staff, outstanding products, and beautiful store.

Also in honor of our 2nd anniversary, we’re offering our customers a “Tutu Good” promotion: the first 100 shoppers to spend $25 will receive a “Tutu Cute” purse. We think that these special purses are the perfect treat because they’re just like us – unique, adorable, and fun! These festive bags add flare to any ensemble. Keep yours for yourself or give it to someone special.

We have plenty of goodies in the store to put inside.  We have special items for all of the princesses, divas, and queens on your “nice” list.

Pep up your Pink Friday with sugar and spice, you’ll find everything nice at Sparkling Tiara!

Sparkle Lots with Toys for Tots!

The holidays are approaching fast, and Sparkling Tiara is pleased to kick off a second year of participation in the USMC Toys for Tots program. Last year we were inspired and encouraged by the members of our community who generously donated toys for distribution to less fortunate children in our area. We’re happy to resume our post as a local collection point for the Toys for Tots program in Mount Juliet. If you’d like to make a donation, stop in during our business hours (Mon. – Thurs 10am – 7pm, Fri. – Sat. 9am – 7pm) and put a toy in the Toys for Tots box. As always, we’ll look forward to visiting with you.

The USMC Toys for Tots program has been wildly successful since its inaugural campaign in 1947. That first year, 5,000 needy children in the Los Angeles area received toys that were collected and distributed by a group of Marine Reservists under the direction of Bill Hendricks.  The next year, Toys for Tots became nationwide. The program has grown to include all 50 states, DC, and Puerto Rico. The mission of Toys for Tots has always been the same: to help community members, local business leaders, and local community welfare agencies to collect toys and distribute them to needy children during Christmas time. The goal is, according to the official Toys for Tots website, to “deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, productive, patriotic citizens.” For more information about the Toys for Tots program, visit their website.

Let’s work together and make sure that every child in the Wilson County community receives this message of hope with a special gift this Christmas. Come by the Sparkling Tiara shop and see us!

Special Sparkling Tiara Employee: Samantha Young

This November we find ourselves giving thanks for our community, our customers, and our special family of pink ladies. At Sparkling Tiara we’re committed to customers of all ages, but there’s an extra special place in our hearts for our petite princesses and junior divas. It’s appropriate, then, that we shine a thankful spotlight on a very special employee who is especially committed to children.

This post is all about the talented and sweet Samantha Young. Samantha possesses a “million dollar smile” that dazzles coworkers and customers alike. Her sweet disposition, artistic flare, and dedication to children make her a favorite princess here at Sparkling Tiara. Coworkers and customers of all ages instantly take a shine to Samantha’s sweetness. She is always willing to lend a compassionate and non-judgmental ear to anyone with a problem. Her understanding attitude and dedication to hard work greatly contribute to the upbeat atmosphere here at Sparkling Tiara.

Samantha also artistically contributes to the visual atmosphere of the store by creating stunning displays and clever storefronts. She can sew anything, and enjoys crafting in her spare time. Her open ears and creative eyes definitely add a healthy dose of sparkle to our store.

Samantha attends TN tech, where she majors in elementary education and minors in special education. Samantha’s chosen career path suits her from head to toe: coworkers and her family praise Samantha’s understanding and compassionate personality. She works well with everyone, but she is especially dedicated to kids. She has a unique ability to make every child feel special and happy during the Princess Parties, and she helps new employees learn how to deliver the best possible experience for the children who come into the store or participate in a party.

Samantha’s commitment to children extends beyond career and into her free time. She dedicates her Sundays to teaching little ones about God’s love at Children’s Church at The Bridge.  Samantha’s dedication to children is heartwarming and inspiring to coworkers and family members alike.

Samantha is multitalented and enjoys a variety of hobbies. When she isn’t working or attending class, Samantha enjoys crafting, playing the mandolin, and listening to music. She lived in Florida for part of her life, where she picked up a passion for swimming and boating. She used to compete in gymnastics and played volleyball at Mount Juliet High School. Her mother describes Samantha as a “great leader” who was nominated captain of the volleyball team her senior year.

Samantha’s thoughtful nature also makes her a great debater who can, in the words of her mom, “debate the best of the best (even her dad) on any given subject.” She also enjoys the finer things in life, like a healthy portion of Mac n Cheese or any food covered in a dose of Ranch dressing.

Sparkling Tiara certainly has a lot to be thankful for with respect to this kind young woman.  Stop in and see sweet Samantha Young – and don’t forget to bring your little princes and princesses along!

Pink Ladies: Sparkling Tiara’s Shining Staff Serves Their Community, Families, and You!

Who are those ladies who greet you with a smile every time you come in for a visit? The ladies who keep the store clean and stocked with the coolest items around? The ladies who keep your queens and princesses happy with the best royal treatment at the fanciest parties in town? The ladies who excel in school and make our community a better place to be? The Pink Ladies, of course!

The Pink Ladies are the staff here at Sparkling Tiara, and this month we’d like to spotlight these special women as a team. They are a unique group of students and cherished professionals who all show remarkable initiative, interest in business, and have personalities which shine in store and out. Kathy Brown, or “Sparkling Sissy,” is a mentor and role model for the younger employees. Her sparkling smile and bubbly personality make her a top salesperson. She has a warm spirit and sets a fantastic example for the other Pink Ladies. “Sparkling Sissy” is retired from Bank of America, where she worked for 30 years. Now, she works at Sparkling Tiara during the week. Sissy, along with the other Pink Ladies, is also active in the Wilson County community.

Community involvement is a regular activity for all of the Pink Ladies. Last year, the Sparkling Tiara Pink Ladies participated in Relay for Life, during which the girls won an award for the best campsite. The Pink Ladies are looking forward to participating again this year. The Pink Ladies have also helped run a spring fashion show at Charlie Daniels Park. The fashion show was a great way to add some sparkle to an exciting day of dress up fun for princesses, divas, and queens of all ages. Summer stays busy with the 4th of July celebrations, and the August princess breakfast party at Chick-fil-A. In the fall the Sparkling staff takes part in the Halloween festivities at Charlie Daniels Park. The Pink Ladies also donate time and resources to several causes such as Toys for Tots and Susan G Komen for the Cure. The Pink Ladies’ community involvement extends beyond activities with Sparkling Tiara and into participation in their schools’ volunteer programs, as well. It’s our mission to add sparkle everywhere we can, and we’re happy to grow a business in such a wonderful and thriving community!

Our Pink Ladies know that family matters. These women put their parents and siblings first. It’s obvious that each Pink Lady adores children and values the impact that positive role models can have on a growing girl. In addition to family matters – grades are tops! Those who are students are a part of honor societies and Dean’s lists. They make time to study for advanced placement classes and projects that will prepare them for careers as educators, businesswomen, and medical specialists. This is why sparkling parties are so special! The Pink Ladies are all upbeat, fun loving young women who show princesses a great time and set a positive example for growing girls.

Any time you and your princess walk into our store, you’ll be treated to the best customer service around – complete with a cheerful smile!  Kindness, smarts, and dedication make these dynamic gals the perfect employees and great role models for your little princesses. Stop in at Sparkling Tiara and see our Pink Ladies today!
