Back in the Days: For the Love of Day's

September 10, 2021

(Image: Portland Day's on Main Street) For many of us, falling in love is the beginning of a lifetime journey of experiences and adventures. For Robert Corey, and the future of the Corey family, there was no way of knowing just how true this would become. After returning from military service and making his way to Caribou, Maine to open and manage the most recent expansion store in the ever growing Day’s business, Robert met Enid Sleeper. Standing at just 5’ ¾” (“and mom never let you forget that ¾ of an inch”, her son, Jeff, says) she was a strong and empowered woman of the business industry; w ...

A Company That Will Withstand the Test of Time

July 27, 2020

What is the proper salutation for a blog post written mid pandemic? My first instinct was to type, “Hey Day’s fam!” Full disclosure, I actually typed this. Then I quickly pounded away at the delete key. “No, Vanessa. You can’t begin a blog post about the jewelry industry as if the last 4 months never happened!” The last 4 months, has in fact, happened. On March 18th, I made the agonizing decision to temporarily close our Auburn store. The safety of my team, my family, and our customers was at the forefront of my mind. The fear of the unknown; exacerbated by the global news, media, and social chatter; the inadequate lifesaving equipment and supplies flashed before my eyes. For the first time in my professional career – for the first time in ALL of our professional careers – business and commerce was co ...

Sparkle with Swarovski this Holiday Season

December 23, 2019

I’ll admit it: I’m crazy about Christmas. I listen to Christmas music in August. Once October rolls around, I’m planning out my holiday decorations. My tree goes up no later than November 1st. I love snow, I love Christmas carols, holiday treats, peppermint sticks and sparkling lights. This is a completely magical time of year for me, and I absolutely love it! It’s a little late in the 2019 holiday season to talk about gifts (unless you’re pushing it right down to the wire) but that doesn’t mean I can’t spin a little fun in this blog post and make it about my absolute favorite time of year. Swarovski figurines are charming gifts for any time of the year, but their Christmas selection is especially sweet. ...

Why You Should Insure Your Jewelry

October 21, 2019

Bringing home that sparkling, new piece of jewelry is an exciting moment in your life! A new gemstone ring, a pair of luxurious gold cufflinks, or a quality watch is a fabulous addition to your ongoing jewelry collection, but how would you feel if you lost that new item? What about if a favorite vintage piece goes missing while you’re out and about doing errands? We insure our homes, our cars, our lives, but we don’t often think about insuring our jewelry. Jewelry insurance is a simple, yet incredibly effective insurance policy that all jewelry owners should consider. For a small annual premium, consumers can enjoy the peace of mind that comes with jewelry insurance. If your jewelry is insured and it’s lost or stolen, not only from your home but while you’re on vacation or otherwise traveling, most insurance policies will cover that loss. You may not be able to replace a precious heirloom ring or a spe ...
