Spruce, the great new gift, baby, jewelry and home interior boutique in Town Center, is having its grand opening today from 4 - 8 p.m. Drop by for the 4:30 ribbon cutting, sample food made from recipes in A Taste of the Good Life cookbook, and sip sangria provided by nFocus magazine.
I'm going to be there looking my loveliest in hopes of getting my picture in one of Nashville's premiere social publications.
Co-owners Alicia Helm and Ashley Meier will donate a percentage of today's sales to the St. Thomas Heart Institute. As well, they'll have copies of the cookbook for sale -- and all proceeds from it go to to the hospital. Rumor has it Amy Marsalis, former Channel 5 newsanchor and current St. Thomas Heart spokesman, may be dropping by. She's a Spruce shopper too.
Spruce is located 7028 Church Street East, between the new Judge Bean's BBQ and Inside Out.
See you there!

Amazing day in downtown Brentwood
What an amazing day it's been.
Had incredible meeting with web designer. Then had lunch at Sweetpea's Cafe (formerly Maggie's) just off Church Street in the little strip mall just east of Pewitt Drive. Not only was the catfish great, we were told that business has really begun to pick back up after a slow spring.
I'm taking that as a positive sign the recession is slowing.
Next it was on to Tom Jones' State Farm insurance office where I gazed across at the new Red Mountain Bank. Who would have thought the downtrodden building at that corner could be rejuvenated and landscaped to look so wonderful? Paired with the framing going up on the Pinnacle Bank building at Franklin Road and Town Center Way and the amazing facelift to the building that now houses The Perch coffee and crepe house, we have some real-world examples of how Town Center can improve right now.
See my previous post about the new restaurant renovating the sad Church Street Pub building and you'll agree we're really on a roll here.
Did I mention Spruce, my new favorite gift and home accessories store? If you haven't stopped in, do it. After eyeing it for months, I finally went in today. Wow. No need to head to downtown Franklin and redo or any of the other stores there. Combined with existing businesses like Hot Pink, Gabriel's Garden and the other boutiques that call downtown Brentwood home, we're looking good.
Cheerleading for Brentwood? Sure. But why not. Anyone who knows me knows I don't give feint praise.
So get out this weekend and start exploring yourself. And if you're hungry, I thoroughly recommend the catfish at Sweetpea's.
