Survived the holiday season and were very happy with our sales. This comes from 1) keeping in contact with our customers whom we've developed relationships with over the seven years we've been in business and 2) having items on our site that people keep re-ordering like Susan Wallace Barnes Calendars, Kolene Spicher prints and Claver Sweaters.

At this time of year we regroup, process new inventory for spring and load new images and descriptions of items.

As in past years, we have VERY FEW returns or exchanges from holiday purchases.

Calendars, calendars, calendars ! We are selling Susan Wallace Barnes calendars like hotcakes and today had a rash of men's gift business with many boxes of belts going out. Brass items are also popular with customers wanting those wrapped and sent. We are turning around orders pronto with extra staff on hand to help with packaging and shipping. Cannot believe that we have been in business for 7 years with many repeat customers who have supported us with orders EVERY year since our inception. 10:41pm and still packaging....time to call it a night !

Our inventory of Christmas ornaments is going fast......with "Christmas Dory" almost sold out. Keep the orders coming ! We are turning around shipments pronto ! We have a "show" tomorrow in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey so our staff is also packing up items to take with us, making pricing labels and working on display ideas. We never know what our "space" will look like at these shows, so we have to be ready for anything ! 7am departure tomorrow staff......We're on the go.

The holidays are upon us....and our staff is out on the road at charity boutiques ! Today we will all be out of the office and heading to Mountain Lakes, NJ to participate in the Women's Club of Mountain Lakes "show" held at St. Catherine's Church in Mountain Lakes, New Jersey. This is our 3rd year as a vendor at this great boutique and a portion of our sales go directly back to the Women's Club. Last year our big sellers were Claver sweaters, belts, boxers, men's and boys' ties and wreath holders. We'll see what this year's sale brings.
