Out with the Fall, In with the Chaos...


This past weekend proved to be a last gasp of Autumn, first gasp of the holidays for me. I was in a Holiday Show on Friday & Saturday, and watched Santa jingle his way through the show floor while a choir sang "Winter Wonderland". It was surreal in more ways than one. However, I am resigned to the fact that the holidays begin in November now, and am determined that I won't complain about this every year ad nauseam, even though my own preference would be to decorate the house not a minute sooner than Christmas Eve. Just like Laura Ingalls. That is, if the Ingalls even were able to scrape enough together to decorate the claim shanty or sod house at all. Now onto the relevant stuff: what's new in the store? As of November 15th, a whole bunch of Christmas cheer, with a good dose of poor overlooked Thanksgiving thrown in. I'll have handmade cards and ornaments both cool and goofy, and a few stocking stuffers too, along with, of course, the usual mix of vintage lamps and accessories. Stay tuned...
