Fall is here!

Its that time of the year when the kids go back to school and the moms can now gather themselves and whip the house back into shape for the fast approaching holidays. We have started putting out our fall merchandise and floral. It seems appropriate this year as the cooler weather has set in for the last few days. When you work retail your mind is always ahead of the game. We order Christmas in January and Easter merchandise in June. Right when we never want to see another snowman figurine or ornament we head to market to buy them by the 100's.
We wait a little longer than other store to put out our seasonal merchandise. Mostly to keep the spirit of the holidays alive. How can you buy a tombstone when its 100 degrees out? Although I have been asked already by more then one customer when Christmas will be out on the floor. I have also gift wrapped many Christmas presents starting this past April. Good for those of you who can plan that far in advance! I end up shoving them somewhere that I can never find or forget that its even there. Kinda defeats the purpose when you then have to buy 2 gifts for the same person.
Back on the subject....Fall is here! Halloween is out in full force and fall is coming out in pieces. We are still getting shipments everyday of new fall merchandise. We are still expecting another sizeable shipment of Halloween decor as well.
See ya soon!
