It's a almost a whole month into the new year, and I promised that I would get this blog up and going... so here I go!
Before Christmas, I was fortunate enough to hit up a local craft sale with one of our gift buyers. The craft sale was also the only place in the Twin Cities (at that time) to purchase a Hi-Di-Hi bag. These bags are from Holland and full of spunk and charm. They are bright, cheerful, and are making their way into America! Believe it or not, we're the first store to get these in our shops! Here are some pics from that wonderful evening... full of delicious food, homemade gifts, and a little something from Europe (that we now have at the stores).
This Christmas season was a fast and furious one at the store. Tons of shoppers, lots of smiling faces, and lots of product in your homes. So that means... time to fill back up! All of our buyers have been out and about scooping up the latest and greatest. The gift buyers were in Atlanta (and off to New York soon), the clothing buyer has a market in Minneapolis (and then to Chicago very shortly), our jewelry buyer was busy at a local market, and the stationery buyer was running around town hitting up lots of meetings! Before you know it, we'll be building new shelves, rearranging stores, and they will feel full once again!
One thing that is for sure... the new stuff will be SO sweet! Here's a sneak peek at two of the new product lines that will be making its way into the stores soon...
My plan is to update this blog on a weekly basis, so be on the lookout for new updates!
