Here it is the first week in December, the beginning of the gift buying frenzy. I actually thought we would be slowing down and was not looking forward to this. But our customers have been returning and returning and returning...and the beginning of the gift buying frenzy has not really even begun! We even had some drive up on Saturday, loaded their car with as much as they could, drove it home and had lunch, unloaded the car and drove back for more the very same day! Last Thursday I left the shop around 2:30 to do my Mom taxi duties, when I returned at 4:45 there were 2 ladies oohing and ahhing. I told Janet they both looked familiar. She said "That's because they were here when you left." Two hours and fifteen minutes! This just warms my heart! So it is with heartfelt thanks that I extend my appreciation to you.
Janet is winding down from a week of prepping for her space at the Cherry Valley Lodge Home for the Holidays event. This show is so wonderful and is packed with shoppers. If you haven't been to it plan on it for next year. You will not be disappointed. Janet almost always sells out no matter how much she takes. Too bad she can't pull up a semi packed with her treasures!
With all that's been flying out the front door we are bringing in just as much through the backdoor. Some recent finds are two nice vintage wicker chairs. Unless they have great vintage barkcloth cushions I almost always give them a makeover with a great new European pillow for a seat cushion. Also found a WONDERFUL 18th century urn with fantastic scrolly arms. I LOVE these things and would have them all over my house for everything! If my dogs were taller they would be eating out of them! Seriously, this one is stunning and would be fantastic in some stately garden, would make you're entry fabulous or imagine it with a Christmas tree! YUM!
