Hope your racing season is going well.  Ours is flying by!  I stopped by the backstretch barns the other day to talk to my cousin, Seymour.  He's a warm up pony from Brooklyn.  But I won't name drop who he's worked with.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Seymour said he's been having a grand time watching all the visitors.  There's been a lot of travelers from all over the world: England, Japan, Florida, Nebraska.  The weather has been what it usually is in Saratoga Springs.  Some rain.  Some sun.  Some rain.  More sun.  Seymour is looking forward to Travers and hoping that he catches a glimpse of that moose who was hanging around the track back in June.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Meanwhile, back at the store, the official 2009 New York Racing Association (NYRA) Travers T-shirt has arrived as well as the hat and glass.  This is my pick of the week because I like to collect them every year so I can say, "What?  Oh, my Travers tee?  Yea, I was there."  The Saratoga Race Course (SRC) tee and hat are also in.  Check out the &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;Official Saratoga Race Course Souvenirs&lt;/span&gt; category by &lt;a href="http://www.impressionssaratoga.com/shopping/shopdisplayproducts.asp?id=33&amp;cat=Official+Saratoga+Race+Course+Souvenirs"&gt;clicking here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You'll also find the 2009 Greg Montgomery poster t-shirt.  Greg is a cool guy that you can meet this Wednesday night (August 12th) at 7pm in front of Impressions.  He'll be here autographing books and posters.  Everyone loves his annual Travers poster so much that Impressions put it on a tee.  I'm going to have to get his autograph for Seymour cause he's a HUGE fan.  It'll be a great holiday gift!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/42052023026724385-8242186942207917134?l=impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/feeds/8242186942207917134/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/08/travers-2009-tee-is-shurbet-pick.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/8242186942207917134'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/8242186942207917134'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/08/travers-2009-tee-is-shurbet-pick.html' title='The Travers 2009 Tee is a Shurbet Pick!'/><author><name>Impressions of Saratoga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457588997134548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SYimg4ZbmAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ojMuM1Go1QE/S220/100pix+Impressions+new+logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SoBKKlNqDNI/AAAAAAAAACY/5wbxnrOEUMM/s72-c/trav09t-lg.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42052023026724385.post-8564095782860620930</id><published>2009-07-24T15:08:00.006-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-24T15:42:10.735-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Introducing Shurbet</title><content type='html'>&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SmoOd32O0BI/AAAAAAAAACQ/9EY3wOXHELU/s1600-h/Sherbet-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 200px; height: 200px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SmoOd32O0BI/AAAAAAAAACQ/9EY3wOXHELU/s200/Sherbet-sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362114212708405266" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hey!  Shurbet here.  That's Sure-Bet, not sherbert.  Ha ha. Family joke, 'what do you name a horse that always wins?'.  You call him 'Shurbet'.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm just getting a feel for this whole blogging thing.  I'm a personal friend of Marianne and Dave Barker's and they were looking for someone to blog about all their store's cool gear - so here I am!  Each week I'll be bringing you my thoughts on all the new stuff Impressions has got.  I'm so excited about it that I'm almost speechless.  Ok, not speechless.  If you learn anything about me, you'll know I'm never speechless.  Maybe I should have been called 'NeverStops'.  Ha.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm gonna talk about my first item so ready, set, go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SmoJg6u8BvI/AAAAAAAAABw/V9m7uRmaMmw/s1600-h/horsePlanters-sm.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 152px; height: 200px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SmoJg6u8BvI/AAAAAAAAABw/V9m7uRmaMmw/s200/horsePlanters-sm.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5362108767464589042" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are the lovely horse planters that Georgetown just came out with.  Marianne tells me her customers loved the cats and dogs that Impressions has carried since last summer.  But since this &lt;span style="font-style:italic;"&gt;is&lt;/span&gt; Saratoga Springs, she asked Georgetown specifically to design a horse of course!  The planters come in two sizes, large ($44.99) and small($24.99).  They're a nice brown color with a brush of black.  I'll admit that I was thinking of doing my mane the same way with nice colored tips; this comb-over thing is just not working for me.  Beautiful glass eyes gaze at you from a face that everyone will fall in love with.  And I tell you, the slightest touch makes them start nodding their heads so if you want someone to endlessly agree with you, just set one of these guys to bobbing.  Who could resist?&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/42052023026724385-8564095782860620930?l=impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/feeds/8564095782860620930/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-sherbet.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/8564095782860620930'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/8564095782860620930'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/07/introducing-sherbet.html' title='Introducing Shurbet'/><author><name>Impressions of Saratoga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457588997134548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SYimg4ZbmAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ojMuM1Go1QE/S220/100pix+Impressions+new+logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SmoOd32O0BI/AAAAAAAAACQ/9EY3wOXHELU/s72-c/Sherbet-sm.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42052023026724385.post-2855645112878395225</id><published>2009-07-21T18:33:00.002-04:00</published><updated>2009-07-21T18:43:16.093-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Summer Nice Days, Summer Rainy</title><content type='html'>Please join us Thursday evening, July 30th, for a book and poster signing with Greg Montgomery during Downtown Susie Brown's Shopping Night. Mr. Montgomery is the renown artist responsible for the annual Travers and Saratoga posters. These posters are highly collectible and much sought after. His book, The History and Art of 25 Travers, is a wonderful read and includes colorful photos of each poster. We highly recommend this book for a gift!

It was a beautiful night - the kind that reminds you why you live here when it's February and you're questioning your sanity.  If you haven't found out who Susie Brown is, you should check out her blog: &lt;a href="http://www.saratoga.com/downtownsusiebrown/"&gt;http://www.saratoga.com/downtownsusiebrown/&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We apologize for not getting the dog day photos right up here so you can check them out.  We've just been swamped by UPS shipments of new merchandise as things start to pickup for summer.  You'll be able to see the new items online in our catalog just as soon as we can snap some photos, upload, and post.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To recap, you will now find new colors, sizes, and designs of the:&lt;br /&gt;Health, History, Horses T-shirt and sweatshirt&lt;br /&gt;tye-dye Ladies Burn Out tee&lt;br /&gt;a brand new long-sleeve Ladies Henna tee&lt;br /&gt;men's jackets (both a zip up hooded and a pullover which is great for golfing)&lt;br /&gt;and new men's polos&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We've also gotten in some very chic umbrellas, purses for horse lovers, wall tiles ("I See The Screw Up Fairy Has Been Here"), padblocks, jockey and horse wine bottle toppers (they look like they fell in), and so much more.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Oh, last but not least, you'll find new jewelry.  Necklaces, earrings, and bracelets from Sun River Co. as well as a new earrings line called Adajio which Maddi picked out.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Whew!  That's a lot.  Obviously, things are picking up and I can tell you it's no different in the town of Saratoga itself.  People are enjoying their leisurely strolls on Broadway, Phila, Caroline, and through Congress Park.  Next weekend (23rd &amp; 24th) is Dressage At Saratoga (D.A.S.) so it'll be busy!&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/42052023026724385-1639660147515598612?l=impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/feeds/1639660147515598612/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/05/shop-night.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/1639660147515598612'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/1639660147515598612'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/05/shop-night.html' title='Shop Night'/><author><name>Impressions of Saratoga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457588997134548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SYimg4ZbmAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ojMuM1Go1QE/S220/100pix+Impressions+new+logo.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42052023026724385.post-6640090791904145958</id><published>2009-04-28T13:56:00.004-04:00</published><updated>2009-04-28T14:05:31.981-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Hot!

Check out the blue and birch zip-up sweatshirt, the tye-dyes, and the bamboo t-shirts.  Yes, bamboo as in what a panda eats.  Very in, very comfortable.  More on this subject later.&lt;br /&gt;Let's see what else has arrived...dog bone plaques with many sayings such as, "What part of 'Woof' don't you get?" and "Who's your doggie?", Georgetown metal planters (if you loved them last summer, you're going to go crazy over the new ones), Ipswich Bay Soap (great for gifts, customizable for weddings, baby showers, etc), and much more.

Check out all his garden pals by Georgetown.  These metal cat and dog planters were such a HUGE hit last summer that we thought they'd make great presents for Mother's Day.

Lots of interest in the new soaps (customize the label and photo), the drunken bear, and the gift baskets.  The most popular trend in wedding and convention planning is to present guests with a gift basket or bag when they arrive in town.

Items usually chosen include maps of the area, brochures on things to do or see in Saratoga Springs, souvenirs (magnets, key chains, coffee cups), snacks (fudge sauce, pretzels for dipping, spring water taffy, horse head lollipops), and a gift from the couple or the company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We can assemble the baskets for you if you would like.  We usually ask for a couple of days' notice and 2 weeks for larger orders.  If you need a large quantity, please give us notice as soon as possible so we can order the item(s) in time and save you money on shipping costs.

We're thinking of setting him up with Mary Poppins for a couple lessons.  &lt;em&gt;Just kidding.&lt;/em&gt;  Gus is ok, but he's going to hang with us in the store today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marianne, Kim, and Maddy are back from Boston.

It may be snowy outside, but in our store we're enjoying our daisy days.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/42052023026724385-4486258796808067185?l=impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/feeds/4486258796808067185/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/02/daisy-days.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/4486258796808067185'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/4486258796808067185'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/02/daisy-days.html' title='Daisy Days'/><author><name>Impressions of Saratoga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457588997134548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SYimg4ZbmAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ojMuM1Go1QE/S220/100pix+Impressions+new+logo.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SaL9gKVWDMI/AAAAAAAAABA/V_Zt_Qvp6Qk/s72-c/spring+displays+001.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42052023026724385.post-7314083743375661178</id><published>2009-02-16T10:28:00.004-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-16T10:47:00.947-05:00</updated><title type='text'>February is Fantastic</title><content type='html'>Yes, February is fantastic.  The holidays are mostly over, the weather tempts us with glimpses of spring, there's still enough snow for snowboarding and skiing, and you feel like you can finally breathe again.&lt;br /&gt;With a weekend of beautiful weather, we've seen more of our four-legged friends.  &lt;i&gt;Hello Biscuit!  Hello Ollie!  Hello Mister!&lt;/i&gt;  We still have fresh water in our doggie bowl - on the chillier days you'll find it just inside the door.  And of course, help your pal to a &lt;b&gt;doggie treat&lt;/b&gt; when you help yourself to a complimentary cup of &lt;b&gt;hot coffee&lt;/b&gt; and &lt;b&gt;ginger snaps&lt;/b&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;This past weekend was The Dance Flurry.  It was a big success this year with over 4,000 people.  We've heard that some of you were dancing fools until 2am!  Of course, it was also Valentine's Day.  If you didn't stop in for a &lt;b&gt;taste of hot fudge&lt;/b&gt;, we still have samples available today.  Yum!&lt;br /&gt;Finally, to celebrate President's week, we have a &lt;b&gt;25% Off special on Obama T-shirts&lt;/b&gt;!&lt;br /&gt;See, February is fantastic.  So don't let cabin fever get you down.  Enjoy the outdoors, stroll broadway with a drink from Uncommons and a snack from Mrs. London's, and remember that Saratoga is a great place to live all year 'round.&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/42052023026724385-7314083743375661178?l=impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/feeds/7314083743375661178/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/02/february-is-fantastic.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/7314083743375661178'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/42052023026724385/posts/default/7314083743375661178'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://impressionssaratoga.blogspot.com/2009/02/february-is-fantastic.html' title='February is Fantastic'/><author><name>Impressions of Saratoga</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15985457588997134548</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='18' src='http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_wV2lHh4S41s/SYimg4ZbmAI/AAAAAAAAAAM/ojMuM1Go1QE/S220/100pix+Impressions+new+logo.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-42052023026724385.post-4512566336507794162</id><published>2009-02-13T12:44:00.003-05:00</published><updated>2009-02-13T13:01:11.897-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Oh Fudge, It's Valentine's Day!</title><content type='html'>Stop in this Friday through Sunday and &lt;b&gt;try a sample&lt;/b&gt; of Sundae's Best Hot Fudge.

Thanks to you, our customers, we were &lt;strong&gt;able to donate $150.94&lt;/strong&gt; towards the expansion of the new Saratoga County Animal Shelter and a whopping &lt;strong&gt;60lbs of dog/cat food and towels&lt;/strong&gt;.  We will continue the collection basket for wet or dry cat food and old towels to donate to the shelter.  &lt;strong&gt;Anyone who drops off these items to our store before February 14th will receive a $5 gift certificate to Impressions of Saratoga in appreciation for the support.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Having served up over 115 bowls of chowder, we were very happy with this year’s recipe.  Apparently, so was Mayor Scott Johnson’s dog, Dr. Watson.  With much to-do, Dr. Watson strolled down the carpet, immediately targeted BARKer’s CHOWder, and wolfed down the entire bowl of Impressions’ chowder.  It appears that Dr. Watson approved of this year’s recipe just as much as last years.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Special thanks&lt;/strong&gt; to Dan Butler and Sandy from the Saratoga County Animal Shelter, Dawgdom, Sloppy Kisses, and most of all, to our customers.  Whether or not you were here for this event, you are the reason we have now started our 31st year in business.
