My readers never cease to amaze me with their loyalty and trust in my recommendations. Take, for instance, my many reviews about Carmody & Co. (www.carmodynco.com<\/a>), located in Pasadena at 121 East Union Street. A reader took my advice and visited Carmody right before the back-to-school rush.<\/p>\n

"I LOVE Carmody & Co! I thought the place would be an ordinary stationery story. Which is fine. But it’s so much more! Great staff, a wonderful selection of merchandise and a truly beautiful environment that makes you feel right at home. I bought a bunch of stuff for my kids, found some cute postcards and browsed like a champ. I was VERY impressed by your post about the store — and Carmody & Co. met all my expectations. Whenever I’m shopping in Pasadena, Carmody & Co. is now on my list of must-see destinations. Thanks, Luke!"<\/p>\n

We have fun invites for Halloween and a great
\nFlashlight that plays 10 spooky sounds. Halloween is on a Friday this year. <\/p>\n

New merchandise includes fabulous baby gifts including blankets, stuffed animals, and children’s books.  Also, great Christmas cards, invitations, gift wrap, and gifts (especially hostess gifts).  We will give customers 10-20% off holiday orders through the month of September.<\/p>\n

Also, we would like to offer 15% off children’s party invitations exclusively for your readers.  If they mention you with the discount, they will receive it.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
