Stop in to see our greenery hanging moss baskets, our own design. They are lush and dripping with fresh greens, cones and a colorful bow. And you won’t find them anywhere else, until the imitators catch on, of course…

Thank You for Joining Us!
Thanks to all of you who came out to support us and the other small business folks who were set up in our loft gift shop this past Saturday. It is good to see that so many of you realize that without community backing, small businesses have a tough time making it, especially in this tighter economy. Thanks for your support! It means a lot!

A Successful Holiday Open House
Today, Novemb
er 19th, was our annual Holiday Open House. Did you make it? We had lots of fun, especially the visit from Santa. Gloria has been a good girl, how about you?
Next up, next Saturday (November 26th) we will be promoting Small Business Saturday. This is the day after “Black Friday,” the day we all get up really early and try to beat everyone else to the low-priced goodies at the Mall and the Big Box Stores. The next day is the traditional day to shop at small locally-owned businesses, including ours. We’ll also be providing spaces for local crafters and artists to sell their products. If you like the idea of having choices of where to shop, and you like the idea of keeping more of your dollars in your local economy, this day is for you!
We’ll have some specials in our shop, and some really unique gift items from local craftspersons. You won’t find anything like this at the Mall. Stop out and support your local economy.

Getting Ready for the Holidays
Last week we began the process of changing the store over from a Halloween theme to a Holiday theme. The Thanksgiving decor items are featured more prominently, and the Christmas is working its way into the forefront. (I’d rather wait until after Thanksgiving, too, but that’s just not possible, since our Holiday Open House takes place on November 19th.)
Then, following closely on the heels of the Holiday Open House, we’ll be having our Small Business Saturday promotion on Saturday, November 26th. We’ll have specials in the store, and we’ll be sharing our space with some artists and craftspersons (even smaller businesses than us.) You’ll find some unique gifts made and sold by folks who live right here in the Valley, and you’ll be supporting small businesses and keeping more of your money circulating locally instead of being sent off to points unknown.
