...as quoted in the immortal lyrics of "A Charlie Brown Christmas". Charlie Brown needs to get with the program - someone needs to let him know that Holidaytime - and not just Christmas - is here. Yes indeed. Holidaytime is here, and I have the anxiety to prove it. I accomplished my two modest goals for the holiday season in the store: 1) Create my tower of boxes, to be crowned by a peacock (simulated peacock, for all you animal lovers out there), and 2) Change the playlist on my iPod to more accurately reflect the season (sorry, Ray Charles. Save your bad-luck, good-timing ways for next summer). I'm not sure which was more difficult: decoupaging dozens and dozens of boxes by hand or reprogramming the iPod.
So check out the tower of boxes - they are pretty awesome - and priced to sell as a gift in themselves or to fill with something amazing you purchased or created (Small: $12, Large: $18). I also am featuring a new line of cards and calendars designed by a very talented graphic artist that are quite holiday-ish (some are even Christmas-ish) without being scarily so. Those of you, such as myself, who fear purchasing and sending Christmas cards, agonizing over what will accurately represent you and/or your family (will it make me look stupid? Sentimental? Overly commercial? Overly Christian? Not Christian enough? Fat?) will be pleased with what Sycamore Hollow has to offer.
That's all for now folks.
p.s. Dear Media: You can stop informing us that the world is coming to an end, and that, by purchasing something (especially something not on sale) we are at best, stupid, and at worst, bad, bad people.
