Hello everyone!

We're just over here celebrating 17 years in business today.

It's been one helluva ride, for sooo many reasons!

I started the first half of the year off not on the best foot mentally, emotionally + physically. I've been struggling with where + what I wanted to do with my life. I'm 45, single, not married (obv lol) and then I lose my best friend Freddy in July right after my 45th birthday. I found myself alone and wondering what am I doing with this one precious life!?!

Freddys heart was fragile due to heart disease and I lost him pretty quickly which caused a shocking exit for me. I honestly thought I would have him a little longer than I did. It did get me thinking about life and how I planned to live it going forward. We hear the term life is very short often and to be honest if we were a dog how would we live it?! They get such a short life, but they often live those years at their very best.

With that being said, I find myself at a better place with myself and my store. I'm not going to sweat the small stuff. I'm going to take some breaks and show up the best I can for myself and for others. Anddd I'm going back to yoga (I'm saying this out loud so I own it LOL)! If you haven't hit up a hot yoga class then you need to!

We are finally back to being open 7 days a week because I really believe I have something to offer the women in the Hudson Valley and I want to give them flexibility to shop 24/7. All the girls have specific positions and I see it opening up space for me to focus on building a stronger foundation + focus on other exciting things for the shop.

I would like to personally invite you to shop our Anniversary Event that starts today in-store + online + ends this Sunday 8/25. Plus, we have Moonshine + Co back for a Fall embroidery event + if you watch my live here all the details are in it!

Excited to kick off this season with all of you! As always we have good things up our sleeves for the rest of 2025! Please scroll down to see what's been going on at EB this Summer + I hope to see you all this week!

As always XOXO,

Beth + Levi

SWAP SALE

The Swap Sale is over + we sold over $10,000 worth of gently used EB clothes + granted our customers with store credit for new Fall clothing. It's such a WIN WIN with everyone. I would LOVE to do this inside somewhere next year. The heats getting to me LOL.

I would also like to thank everyone who donated their leftover clothing that did not sell. We invited women from the Grace Smith House who have been impacted by domestic violence to come and shop the 2 very full racks + they had a great shopping day!

"I just welcomed the ladies back in the shelter + the look on their faces was one of pure joy. Thank you for sharing your beautiful clothes with the ladies but more importantly thank you for the dignity + respect that each woman felt. It was a chance to have a normal afternoon shopping with friends. This is a true luxury for women who are in the shelters."

BEST BOUTIQUE



As always, we appreciate you all voting for us as best boutique in the Hudson Valley. It does not go unnoticed and we are so very grateful to accept this award for 2025! XO

FREDDY

If you read my note above. Freddy passed away peacefully at Elizabeth Boutique on 7/11/25 on the 3rd floor of EB in his bed. Of course, it was also a special day in our family because we celebrate one of his best buds Leo's birthday (my nephew) on that day. He will forever be my soul dog + I appreciate EVERYONE who sent their condolences and gifts. It really showed me the community I have created here in Poughkeepsie. Freddy's passing reminds us all that life is fragile and short for pups and we need to maximize our time here doing the things we love with the people we love most.



LEVI



In walks Levi. I came to the conclusion (very quickly) that I got Freddy to be a companion and he made me a dog mom that after 12 years of him going everywhere with me that I needed to just do the same thing again. The house was empty and lonely and that's not healthy for anyone. I also realized I had 6 weeks to train him and if I didn't get a dog now I would have to wait until the Spring and I might regret it.

So I called up Luvly Acres Cavaliers in Standfordville and she did have a few puppies available, however he was the only boy and he was ready to go. Just like Freddy, he was the last of the litter and I felt like it was the right fit. Sooooooo here we are potty training this guy. I was lucky he was available although I'm starting to think he was the lil' psychopath in the litter, but he's still super sweet + cuddly.

Stop in + meet Levi!
