Fun Stuff

I was at the store yesterday and started to put away some of the new stuff that came in. The Halloween is so cool. We got eyeballs, big pumpkins with faces and little ones. Halloween headbands for the ladies, with spiders, webs and feathers on them. My daughter and I love these. Dept. 56 has some really neat things for Halloween this year, so we decided to have a Halloween open house instead of the one we usually have right after Thanksgiving. My husband does all of the cookie baking and he is already looking for Halloween recipes. If you have any good ones, let me know. I would appreciate it. Thanks. We even got in some Gingerbread -Not to Eat- Ornaments some are little bells and the others are a resin and we even have hand-blown glass ones. This is the fun part, we order early in the year and when the boxes come it's just like Christmas opening them up.

New Items coming in. What to do ?

I Just received boxes of the merchandise and now I'm wondering if maybe I shouldn't have ordered so much. We -that is my daughter and I go to the shows in Jan. and March and order what we like and think our customers will like. Now that it's here I start second guessing myself. What if they don't like what we have and then I have ornaments and decorations that I really have to mark way down . Sometimes I start to think should I continue with this or just sell everything and be done. Maybe next year.

Holiday Colecting

I would like to know if people are still collecting for the holidays or has our economy hurt our love for the holidays?
