Favorite TV Car Poll Results...

So the most recent poll is complete. And the winner is (with two votes)...... the 1982 Pontiac Trans Am (K.I.T.T) from Knight Rider. Keep in mind that there were only 3 votes total (the other was for the Mystery Machine from Scooby Doo. More people should answer these poll questions. Tell your friends to visitthe blog and answer the questions. Especially those friends with an upcoming wedding, baptism or any special occasion.


Back to the poll... While K.I.T.T. won for Favorite TV Car, you can't really use K.I.T.T. to transport your bridal party from Church to Reception Hall. For those needs, you need to contact Elvis Limousines inside The Complete Bridal Salon. You can contact Elvis Limousines at http://www.elvislimousines.com/ or by calling 1-800-331-9923. You can even call Elvis to take you the hot concert in town, or the big game, or the airport.


You can request the hot H2 Hummer, Cadillac Escalade, Chrysler 300C or the popular Limousine BUS. The BUS can seat up to 22 people. It has 2 TVs, CD player, DVD player and AM/FM stereo. And don't forget the bars... 1 wet bar and 2 full length bars.
A real VIP room on wheels.

The Complete Wedding Expo...

Koziol Kreations will be at The Renaissance Hotel Schaumburg on August 3rd for The Complete Wedding Expo. You'll be able to visit our table and see samples of many special occasion favors for your wedding, bridal shower or any other occasion. Not to mention all the Greek Orthodox specialty items provided. Also, don't forget the ring bearer pillows, flower girl baskets, unity candles and sand, and attendant gifts.

One thing to look for when it comes to renting your groomsmen's tuxedos... Many places have started to charge a rental fee for the cufflinks. This fee, in addition to the total for the tuxedo rental, can range from $15.00-$30.00. Koziol Kreations can offer you engraved cufflinks for your groomsmen for $23.00. These are for purchase, not rental. They can be used as your groomsmen gift. Why pay to rent something when you can buy it and keep it forever for basically the same price?

Come and Gone...

It's Monday and Greek Fest has come and gone. All the hard work preparing for the three day event and it's over. It almost feels like it was over too fast. Koziol Kreations had one of the more prominent locations inside the Marketplace at the St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church Greek Fest 2008. It didn't matter which door you came in through, you were able to see our table right away.

The "hot" items were the Greece Bracelets, Athens/Acropolis Mousepads and Greece Hats. All of which COMPLETELY sold out. The t-shirts we had for the kids did really well also. We only have 2 left (one of each style, both size 6-8). Based on interest, we have decided to begin carrying items such as these in the store. We will also have more sizes for the smaller ones in the family. Onesies and infant wear were in high demand at Greek Fest, so we will have them at the shop in just a few short weeks.

Everyone at the fest seemed to like the fact that we have a store that is local. There isn't a "greek store" close to the Elgin Greek community so everyone was happy to know we are local. Even the non-greeks were pleased to hear about the Complete Bridal Salon in West Dundee. For those of you who haven't heard, we have a space inside the salon.

We have a new goal for the business... The new goal is to open our own store before Greek Fest 2009. That gives us one year to make this dream a reality. We will still be affiliated with the salon, as that is where we got our start, not to mention the incredibly awesome connnection to the bridal industry. Please post comments or send emails of encouragement as we pursue this new dream. Your support is always appreciated.

We would also like to say thank you to all the people that attended the Greek Fest at St. Sophia's this year and visited our booth.

Greek Fest is coming...

St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church Greek Festival is coming Friday!!! We are anxiously counting down the days. Anita has been busy today calling banks and credit card processing companies to obtain pricing so the we will be able to accept Visa and Mastercard at Greek Fest. We will continue to accept this form of payment in the store as well. Then we'll "graduate" to online order processing. Things just keep getting better.

With the ability to accept credit cards as a form of payment, we are hoping that our sales will increase. So many people these days (myself included) don't carry cash anymore. We found a company that is reasonably priced and will be able to get us set up in time for Greek Fest on Friday. This is great news.

This is going to be a crazy week. I will be posting regularly this week to keep everyone updated. Anita doesn't know this yet, but I have this Saturday off, so I'll be with her at Greek Fest all day/night. She'll be so happy.

More Greek Fest updates to come.......

4th of July...

Today is the 4th of July and it is time for barbecues and fireworks. We are going to spend the day on the deck with neighbors and friends and then later tonight we are going to Cherry Valley's fireworks show. We'll be sitting at the laundromat again, just like last year. It is the best spot to sit to see all the fireworks.

Tomorrow we are going to the annual 4th of July party at Terry and Morgan's house. Terry is Anita's brother for those of you who didn't know that.

Koziol Kreations is gearing up for next week's Greek Fest at St. Sophia Greek Orthodox Church. Inside the Marketplace at Greek Fest is different vendors selling items. Koziol Kreations will be showing off all the wedding and baptismal items available through the business. We will also be selling items such as hats, t-shirts, bracelets, etc. We are pretty excited about this year's Greek Fest. We have been attending the fest for the past 4 years, but this is our first year as a Marketplace vendor.

Please come out and see us at Greek Fest. The cost to get in is $2.00. If you would like a free coupon for entry, please email us at koziol@koziolkreations.com and we will be happy to email you the coupon. See you there.
