We’re happy to announce that we’ll be growing our catching fireflies family in 2013.  Our business model has always been to reinvest back into our company when we accumulate additional funds and because of your loyal support over the years we’re thrilled to be opening a location where our story originally began. Since attending Eastern Michigan in the mid nineties, I fell in love with Ypsi’s sister city, Ann Arbor.  I worked and played .

With the holiday season gearing up, many of your favorite shops (including us) will be showcasing fabulous finds, sharing special sales and spreading holiday cheer on facebook.  But did you know that you’ll probably miss most of their posts?

Plus, we’re donating 7% of the sales that day to The Pink Fund.  They’re making days brighter by helping .

We’re excited to introduce the lovely, talented & oh-so-fun Cheryl Jones as our new Rochester manager. Prior to joining team Catching Fireflies, Cheryl spent 20+ years in the fast-paced ad biz working for the Leo Burnett Agency (formally Darcy).  She loved working with the variety of creative people in advertising but needed a break from the corporate world. She started her search for a part-time job & the first place she applied was Catching .

With a sad, yet happy heart we’d like to celebrate Miss Dena Gillespie as she is moving on to pursue her Dancing Wired & Blissfully Wired business full time.   For the past six years, she has been the heartbeat of our Rochester catching fireflies. My personal relationship with Dena actually dates back to 1995 when we met working at an after school childcare program in Ann Arbor.  We were the queens of cool .

The countdown to Christmas is on & we’re kicking off the season of shopping with 4 fantastic days of deals. After a jam-packed day of aerobic level shopping, we’ve  got a feeling that you might need to take some time to unwind.  That’s why we’re giving you a shower burst with any purchase over $30 all day Friday.  Whether you’ve got a headache, are battling a cold or just need a little clarity… we .
