Have you been naughty or nice?

The Elf on the Shelf is Here!



How does Santa really know who’s been naughty or who’s been nice? After much urging by the elves and Mrs. Claus, Santa has allowed his biggest secret to be revealed in the book, The Elf on the Shelf: A Christmas Tradition®. Santa has partnered each hardcover book with a magical scout elf. Once a family receives their elf, it’s up to them to name their elf and visit the North Pole (elfontheshelf.com) to register its name in our Hall of Registry and print their official elf adoption certificate. This is a Christmas tradition that will withstand the test of time, all while providing you and your family with unforgettable memories each holiday season!
Gift set includes: A North Pole light skinned pixie scout elf, a hard-bound children`s book, and a keepsake box.

Owl be Seeing You!

Fall Woof & Poof is a sell out hit!!



Some of you may recall that last year we got in some beautifully made, hand sewn stuffed pumpkins from a little company in California called Woof & Poof. You may also remember that we sold out of them just before Thanksgiving.
You made them such a hit, that not only did we reorder lots of new pumpkin styles this year, we also ordered the newest star of the Woof & Poof line -- the owl.
Believe it or not, we've already sold over half of them. I guess one could say the owls are really flying out of here, so if you would like to check them out before theeir gone, now is definately the time. But should you miss them, we will have a number of Woof & Poof Christmas patterns coming in next...

The Smell of Fall is in the Air

Aromatique Cinnamon Cider Arrives in-store!



Fall is one of my favorite times of the year and when I think of Fall, I think of a cool evening with a snuggly blanket, and a steamy mug of cinnamon cider.
That image was the inspiration behind our latest new product offering: Aromatique's Cinnamon Cider Decorative Fragrance, candle in glass and reed diffuser.
For almost 30 years, Aromatique has been known as the gold standard in decorative fragrance and honestly, we wouldn't consider bringing you anything less. The beautiful dried and scented botanicals have a great loft that can fill a room quickly with a rich depth of fragrance--so much so, that you'll wonder where your mug is!
Stop in and pick up a bag of decorative fragrance, a beautiful long-lasting candle, or luxurious reed diffuser and bring home the scents of Cinnamon Cider today!

A Haunting

New Halloween and Fall Arrivals Making the Scene



When you are in retail, you tend to get to all of the holidays before the rest of the world, and Halloween is no different.
Today we started displaying Halloween. While the main Halloween and Fall orders are yet to arrive, a few goodies have, including our Lori Mitchell collectables and Nicol Sayre collectables(featured left)
Both of these artists bring a nostalgic look to the holiday, Lori with a touch of whimsy and Nicole with her own classic flare. We know we will sell out of these long before the holiday passes, so I encourage you to stop in and see these now!
Speaking of Halloween, I heard this song recently from "The Pierces", and its haunting tone has inspired our latest display window...I'm not going to reveal too much, but lets just stay that sometimes spooky secrets are revealed...chat with all of you again soon!
