Girls Gone Curly

I have to share with you one of the cutest things in our store right now:

Curly Girl magnet board

Here's a close-up of the message:

And the coordinating magnets, my favorite part:

We were only able to get a few of these in, and they're bound to go fast as we approach the holiday season.  I won't be able to enjoy them for long, but I know they'll go to good homes! 

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas!

This horrific mess can only mean one thing.

Yikes!

It's time to redecorate the shop for Christmas! 



For those of you in warmer climates, that white stuff outside the window is SNOW!



The maestro at work.



We don't have a lot of space in the company store, so we have to cram a little holiday cheer in where ever we can.  Cheryl is going for a Victorian Christmas theme this year...

...complete with dolls and vintage furniture from her mother's collection.

And what Gently Spoken holiday display would be complete without Cheryl's famous flocked trees?  We try to get away with keeping these beauties up all winter long.





That ginormous ornament is a Kelly Rae Roberts angel.

Now we just need to wrap some pretend presents for the dollies, and we'll be just about set to face the season!



RIP Halloween!

Is there anything sadder than putting away Halloween decorations?

 

Some may find it odd that we’re just now dismantling the last holiday when it’s nearly Thanksgiving and most people are getting Christmas up and running, but we are in Anoka, the Halloween Capital of the World. The way I see it, we’re entitled to a longer Halloween.

It will come again next year of course, but I will miss the cheery faces of ghost in the store!

See you next year, Halloween!
