<p>Dear L&amp;L's Friends, Family and Forever Fans,</p>
<p><span>It is with overfilled, loving hearts we bid farewell to our Midtown Bookshelf friends on June 4th as they will be heading back north on that beautiful, countryscaped 319 to focus all of their literary love in their Thomasville, Ga location. We have loved every second we spent with our "business crush" here in Midtown and know that they will endure many</span><span class="text_exposed_show">&nbsp;more story filled years in their Thomasville location. Plus, we are still lucky to sell cupcakes and share their spaces and see their faces up there Thursday- Saturday every week! We wish them continued success and will miss them dearly here in Midtown as we know all of you will to.&nbsp;<br />We will be expanding our space with more places to sit and enjoy cupcaking with your friends and family as well as having new gifts and such to tantalize you. We will be throwing a Cupcake &amp; Champagne Brunch, Sunday June 9th 11am-2pm to unveil our new digs and hope you will all come join us for Sunday Funday Lucy &amp; Leo's style. Stay tuned for the details!<br />Lots of sugar filled love to all of you,<br />Paula &amp; Jean ( and Lucy &amp; Leo of course!!!!)</span></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/rss-comments-entry-33848245.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>-</title><dc:creator>Jean</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 20 May 2013 17:50:17 +0000</pubDate><link>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/2013/5/20/1369072292782.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">455534:5116041:33734726</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-inline ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 500px;" src="http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/storage/960076_10151510411318172_1264118901_n.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1369072269989" alt="" /></span></span></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/rss-comments-entry-33734726.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Spring Menu!</title><dc:creator>Jean</dc:creator><pubDate>Mon, 29 Apr 2013 17:26:23 +0000</pubDate><link>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/2013/4/29/spring-menu.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">455534:5116041:33515726</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-float-left ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 600px;" src="http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/storage/Spring%20Flavors.jpg?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1367256524450" alt="" /></span></span></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/rss-comments-entry-33515726.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Holiday Hours</title><dc:creator>Jean</dc:creator><pubDate>Sun, 16 Dec 2012 17:01:30 +0000</pubDate><link>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/2012/12/16/holiday-hours.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">455534:5116041:32048952</guid><description><![CDATA[<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span>&nbsp;</span></span><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"></span></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The rumors are true. Lucy &amp; Leo's Cupcakery and <a href="http://www.bookshelfandgallery.com/">The Bookshelf </a>will soon be co-habitating in both Thomasville and Tallahassee. Though it's not a traditional marriage, both parties are committed and will begin sharing space in the beginning of June.</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>The Bookshelf Midtown will open primarily as a kids book and educational toy store, with a smattering of independent best sellers and periodicals. <br /></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Stay tuned for contests and grand re-opening information.</strong></p>]]></description><wfw:commentRss>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/rss-comments-entry-16095137.xml</wfw:commentRss></item><item><title>Be mine</title><dc:creator>Jean</dc:creator><pubDate>Wed, 25 Jan 2012 15:11:43 +0000</pubDate><link>http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/news/2012/1/25/be-mine.html</link><guid isPermaLink="false">455534:5116041:14726026</guid><description><![CDATA[<p>&nbsp;</p>

<p>For the past several months, the owners of Textures and Lucy and  Leo&rsquo;s,&nbsp; (Maggie and Jean) have been working super hard on their time  away from the shop to train for a 165 mile bike ride from Miami to Key  West.</p>
<p><span class="full-image-block ssNonEditable"><span><img style="width: 324px;" src="http://lucyandleos.squarespace.com/storage/photo10.JPG?__SQUARESPACE_CACHEVERSION=1320180877203" alt="" /></span></span></p>
<p>Why are they doing this, you ask?</p>
<p>Here&rsquo;s a little background&hellip;</p>
<p>Jean had ACL surgery last March. While rehabilitating, she discovered  that riding the stationary bike felt best on her knee and seemed to be  helping most. During this time, a friend (we will call her Kim) was  recruiting friends to join her in a charity ride to raising money for  the AIDS foundation. Jean decided that this would be a good goal,&nbsp; she  bought a road bike and signed up.</p>
<p>Maggie did not have knee surgery. She started riding her commuter  bike with Jean when (in the beginning) she needed a friend to go along  on rides with her, just in case something happened with her knee. After  riding on several long rides, she discovered that cycling did not make  her Asthma flare up, when every other physical activity inhibited her  breathing. She became very excited and started feeling like her lungs  were becoming stronger and stronger every ride, making it so she does  not need to use her inhaler at all. This is a HUGE feat. At this point  she decided that a 165 mile ride from Miami to Key west could be an  amazing goal as well, and help her stay healthy.</p>
<p>So here&rsquo;s the details- November 18-19, Maggie and Jean will be  conquering this amazing goal!! They will ride 100 miles the first day  and 65 miles the second day. Since this is a charity ride, they each  have to raise $1250 for the AIDS foundation. Each one of them have  raised $700-ish which means they need to raise about $500- ish more.</p>
<p>In order to finish up their fund raising for this awesome cause,  Maggie, Jean (and friends will) be riding a stationary bike inside   Textures/L&amp;L&rsquo;s on Tuesday, November 8 starting at 10:00am &ndash; until  ???. They will be riding the bike and taking donations until we raise   $1000. To sweeten the deal, L&amp;L&rsquo;s will give you a cupcake for every   $10 donation. If you donate $100 or more you get a gift certificate&nbsp;  for a dozen cupcakes and a personalized Maggie Owl, that is a value of  over $60!!!</p>
<p>This is an exciting adventure that these two have signed up for. Come by the shop to hear about how training is coming along.</p>
<p>**If you are interested in learning more about this organization and the ride itself, go to <a href="http://thesmartride.org/">smart ride 8</a> . If you would like to donate to the cause, go to <a href="https://thesmartride.org/8/pledge/index.php?participantID=277&amp;step=step3" target="_blank">Maggie WIllman</a> or <a href="https://thesmartride.org/8/pledge/index.php?participantID=275&amp;step=step3" target="_blank">Jean Bates</a> .</p>
