Where does the time go?

I am not sure how it got to be June so fast! Apparently my good intentions about posting often have been sidetracked!  I will just let you look at some of the wonderful goodies that have come in the last couple of weeks from Mark Roberts and Christopher Radko.

These are but a few of what we have in stock right now...shop early for the best selection! Note the adorable elf with the folded over ear...too precious! And the red, white, and blue outfitted fairy is the newest in the charity awareness line, the Support the Troops Fairy, benefiting the Wounded Warrior Foundation.

The Radko ornaments that are coming in are equally fabulous.  This is the 25th anniversary of Christopher Radko, so there is an ornament to celebrate! And the 2010 dated ornament is just beautiful.

Here are a few other favorites, including a Little Gem, the Gingerbread Man!

Check with us often; this is the time of year that we get new goodies in several times a week! Hope to see you soon!

The Merry Month of March

Even though March came in like a lion, the last few days have certainly been more lamb-like! We have been busily unpacking lots of fun things...and some of our most anticipated items have arrived in the last few days. We are excited to show them to you!

Trapp Candles!! If you are not familiar with this brand, you will love them.  The fragrances are incredible and the poured candles come in one of the prettiest boxes I have ever seen. We have both the poured candles and votives available.  Lovely for your own home and terrific as gifts, there are scents to please everyone who is a candle lover!

Candylights light strands and bulbs look so pretty you want to eat them! There are light strands with the mini bulbs, 5 watt bulbs for things like nightlights, and 7 watt bulbs for chandeliers.  These are precious right now for Easter! Lots of colors are available.

Have you ever seen Mark Roberts fairies dancing and riding a carousel?  If not, come on in! This is the last year for the mechanical animated fairies, so we have these 2 styles...and when they're gone, they're gone! Come in to see them, they are so wonderful!

Sock monkeys continue to be so popular (have you seen the ad where the toys take the car out and party overnight?) and now they have friends! They are too stinking cute for words!

Lots of the individual themed ornaments for professions, music, sports, hunting, fishing, and so on are back in stock. Shop early for the best selection on these...many styles were sold out completely by July last year and we were unable to re-order them!

 

And last but not least...the sale section is beginning to dwindle! There are still some great bargains, but these are going fast, so come check out the savings (60% off the original price!) while they are still here!

The Big Box

Now what in the world would come in a box big enough to fit a person in?

Well this is what comes in a box this big...

A beautiful carousel

for Mark Roberts Fairies!


Stop in and see how lovely it is in person! 

More new fun things!

I'm watching a blizzard outside my office window...so I thought you might appreciate a look at some new things to warm your heart!

These are just a sample of some of the new Radko ornaments...the designers really outdid themselves this year.

Stay warm! Come see these new things in person...when it is safe to venture out again!!

We're back!

Yes, we are finally re-opening! And we are so excited to see everyone...come in and say "hi!"

We are going to be better updaters this year and try to post fun things as they come in. Here are a few pics of some of the new things...please excuse the blurry spots...I had a puppy nose print on the camera lens I didn't notice until I got home! Oops!!

We have some great items for spring and Easter!























































Here are 2 of the cute new fairies from Mark Roberts...The Easter Bunny Fairy and the African Violet Fairy. We have several other new styles in as well.































We are now carrying the Cody Foster line, and oh, my, it is sooo wonderful! You have to see these in person to really appreciate them, but here are a couple of views to give you an idea of the things that have already come in...and more on the way!

We are open Fridays and Saturdays in February, from 10:30-5:00. If you would like to shop with us on another day, give us a buzz; we are glad to accommodate your schedule!

Hope to see you soon!
