Happy New Year everyone!

Let me just take a moment to wish everyone a very happy New Year.

It's a good time also, I think, to thank you all for being such great friends and customers to mom and I. We appreciate you so much, new customers and old, for making these a great 20 years in business. We really hope for another 20 years as Warren County's favorite specialty kids' shop!

I am kind of glad that the holiday season is over and we can get back to normal.

Come in and see us at the shop....there is an after Christmas/ New Year Sale going on.

Our hours will go back to normal tomorrow -

Monday through Friday 10am - 5pm and Saturdays 10am - 4pm

(as always, these hours are not set in stone though...if you need us to be there earlier, later or on a Sunday, we can usually be there...we're there for you, the customer, when you need us!)

A small tribute...

My very best friend Mary Jo Curtis - Brown graduated this month from Austin Peay State University. I cannot even put into words how proud of her I am. This girl is amazing; she has been through more than most people our age and she has had to grow up a lot faster than any kid should have to. She really has had every excuse to not be very driven in life....but she has been! She was a cheerleader all through school, she managed to get a 4.0 in high school- and this was while she was taking all of the hardest classes, she got married right out of high school and she STILL went on to college. She graduated this month Magna Cum Laude with a political science degree in only 3 and a half years. She is now getting ready to go to law school!

Like I said, I am completely in awe of her and very proud to call her my best friend!

Enough with the gushing though...I completed the very difficult task the other night of getting our group of girl friends together all in the same room since before high school. Mary had been wanting to do this for a long time so I decided her graduation was the perfect excuse. We sat around at my house and immediately fell into old times - eating, gossipping, poking fun at one another, talking about boys and what we were going to do with our lives... lots of fun. If any of y'all are reading this, thanks so much for making this happen for Mary and for me...I hope we don't wait this long for the next time we get together.

Merry Christmas Everyone!
I hope you all have a great day tomorrow!

Don't Forget!

We WILL be open today after 1:00pm until atleast 4:00pm (if you need us to be there later, though, make sure and call).
And we will be open tomorrow, Christmas Eve...I'm sure you won't be suprised to know this is usually one of our busiest days during the Holidays! We'll be there around 10:00am and we will just play it by ear on how late we stay....once again, call us if you need us there at a certain time!
We have great stocking stuffer ideas and we are running a 50% off sale too!
Maybe we'll see you there!

It's almost Christmas...can you believe it?

If y'all are anything like me, you have waited and waited and waited till about right now to even start thinking about Christmas gifts...

or you're like so many of our other customers and you have gifts for everyone but, Oh yeah! You forgot about the stocking stuffers...or a gift for the teacher.....or something for the cousin that you only see on Christmas....or a whole bunch of other reasons that your Christmas shopping is not quite done.

We have just the stuff to help you start or finish your Christmas shopping. You can find something for nearly everyone on your list at the shop.

We gift wrap for free, we are still accepting lay-a-ways for Christmas gifts so that the kids won't be tempted to snoop, we have something for every price range (especially helpful for those $5 and under school gifts), and, just face it, shopping in the Plaza, right in the middle of town, is ALOT more convenient than going out of town, or even to WalMart...and A WHOLE LOT less crowded!

Come see us...we'd love to help you wrap up (literally too!) your Christmas list!

We'll be open till 6PM on weekdays until Christmas,

we'll also be here until 4:30 on Saturday,

Sunday until 3:00,

and Christmas Eve until probably 5:30!

Ornaments

A friend of mine has started making these ornaments for Christmas and they're soooo cute! This is just the "Santa" ornament but I think she has a few other styles too.

If any of you are interested in ordering one (or more!), send me an email.

They're only $8.00 ... a great keepsake Christmas gift.
