It's Thursday and the UPS Truck arrives, I already have 3 large boxes to unpack, check condition, price and find a place to display each item, and Ray delivers 10 (yes 10) more large boxes. Wow, it is like Christmas and what a coincidence it is all Jim Shore, Heartwood Creek Christmas items. What fun to look at them all again, since we ordered in January at the LA Gift Show I tend not to remember every item ordered so this is a treat. All were perfect and the new products for 2007 are wonderful!!! Our customers will be thrilled. Photos to follow as soon as I figure out how to do that.
There were Fall and Halloween items included too. And this is just the start of the Christmas Delivery. I think we need to remember we are a small store, but somehow we make it all fit.
Decorating for Christmas will be wonderful this year again.
The Fillmore May Festival is this week end, there is a parade, food booths, music and of course Carnival Rides. So it was time to decorate the window in an old fashioned theme, with old chalk statues from old days at Festivals and some reproductions of old pull toys. Very cute window, but will only last this week end then I really must do a Graduation Window to celebrate the Fillmore High School Graduates. I even have Annuals from the early 1920's to put on display.
This window should be a hit for the Alumni who come to the Alumni Banquet on June 9. Memories........ As I was going through my trunk of photos and keepsakes there were just so many memories of our High School Years.
