Feeling the Season

So many markers tell us the season is in full swing. Holiday movies appear on television and at the Cineplex as eggnog arrives on grocery shelves. Merrymakers turn up in Santa hats or this year’s rage: the turkey chapeau.

We dust off our artistic temperaments and make magic where only moments ago there stood a modest, one might say bleak, garage door. Our colorful, twinkling displays represent the warmth we feel inside as our attention turns to making our loved ones happy. Cuz ‘tis all about giving; right Grinch/Scrooge/Charlie Brown?

We are pleased this year, as every year, to participate in the festival of giving. We beam when our store customers and salon clients tell us how they look forward to wandering through our brightly stocked shelves to find a unique treasure that may well become a hallmark for future generations.

We cast a wide net seeking one-of-a-kind items so your treasure hunt can happen within a manageable piece of real estate. We’re proud of our cheerful elves (sales team) who delight in helping you track down the perfect something-something for relatives, friends and home décor.

There’s an old saying: “If you can’t wrap presents well, at least make it look like they put up a good fight.” We understand this all too well, so we wrap all your goodies in glorious, decorative finery insuring your gift is a feast for the senses even before the tag is read. Plus – come on, this is huge – our wrapping is complimentary!

We are grateful for all of our wonderful clients and this heartwarming time of year. Seeing so many familiar faces fills us with the spirit. We look forward to seeing yours.

“For it is in giving that we receive.” – Francis of Assisi

“Christmas… is not an external event at all, but a piece of one’s home that one carries in one’s heart.” – Freya Stark

“I like to compare the holiday season with the way a child listens to a favorite story. The pleasure is in the familiar way the story begins, the anticipation of familiar turns it takes, the familiar moments of suspense, and the familiar climax and ending.” – Fred Rogers

“This past Christmas, I told my girlfriend for months in advance that all I wanted was an Xbox. That’s it. Beginning and end of list: Xbox. You know what she got me? A homemade frame with a picture of us from our first date together. Which was fine. Because I got her an Xbox.” – Anthony Jeselnik

“He who has not Christmas in his heart will never find it under a tree.” – Roy L. Smith
