The best thing about having a blog is...it is an organized way to look up things without searching through years of photos on an Instagram page to find what you were looking for.
Because the new product guides came out and showed us Summer 3 items, I was thinking about floor set dates. I searched my archive for this time last year to get an idea of the timing.
Disclaimer: any info shared for June and ahead is NOT cut into stone as the floor set days coming. I am speculating the June through December dates.
As we see so often, things get pushed up...and pushed back. Supply chain issues in getting products to stores ( like the purple butterfly bag that never arrived), promotions that are doing better - or worse at driving traffic, and all of the other little things we never hear of, causes changes to happen.
Our current Summer 1 Preview set has been happening over the last few days slowly, with more coming out this week. Some stores set it all already, and if that was your location - that is awesome. My store is putting things out slowly according to direction and I am good with that. Some new online launched new already.
The last months mailer coupon expires tomorrow, May 8th, so you would expect a launch of Summer 1 for Monday, May 9th. And the new mailer coupons show May 9th they begin, and expire June 12th. Perfect timing for the start of Semi-Annual Sale at June 13th like we heard.
If I had to guess, Summer 3 2022 COULD be:
May Schedule

December Schedule
- December 3rd - Candle Day - First Saturday in December. It could possibly begin Friday, December 2nd, and include Sunday, December 4th. Cost? as of today 5/7 a guess would be $10.50 or $10.95. I'm thinking $10.95.
