Another Season...
Ohh, I did it again….left a BIG gap between blogs (that gives you time to absorb what I wrote the last time…haha).
As I write tonight I am sitting and waiting for someone that I bought a couple of pieces for the store from. I wasn’t able to take them with me the day I bought them (probably because I had too much other “stuff” in my van) so she was kind enough to meet after hours tonight so I could get them out of her way. Like me, she has a shop so she knows sometimes it can be a challenge to find things you like and an even bigger challenge to figure out when you can pick them up.
This time of year always makes me feel like time is at a premium. There is always so much to do at the store. Though we’re not past Halloween yet, as we approach the middle of October, we have to think about pushing the last of our Fall and Halloween merchandise out the door to make room for the holiday decorations.
For years we put our holiday decorations out on November 1 so that we got through most of the Fall season first. That doesn’t work anymore. Customers start to ask in July “When??”, big box stores put holiday decor out earlier and earlier and the companies we order from want it out of their warehouses sooner every year.
For all of those reasons (and more), Suz and I decorated one tree today, brought the other two out of the basement and with that started another holiday season at Sisters…k
