SHARING TWO OF THE NEW JIM SHORE FIGURES



I just had to share these two new Jim Shore figures. I love them and already have both on display in thestore. Yes it does seem a little early, but we have one area for Christmas and so many customers are like us and buy Christmas items they love all year especially when they see something they really like. I am thinking these will be something everyone wants.
Even some Halloween Items by Jim Shore are out and selling well.
I will put more photos of favorite things later.
I have to admit we already have Christmas Ornaments by Old World Christmas out too. Mainly the ones you can use all year round.

OUR STORE FRONT

This our store front. It darling and it is amazing how much stock we can carry. The fun part is we keep adding to it. There will be close up photos of the windows as I change window displays.
Right now we carry Antiques, Old World Christmas, Jim Shore Heartwood Creek, Books, childrens toys, new and vintage jewlery, jewlery boxes for girls, coloring books (really big detailed ones) for girls and boys, stuffed animals, flags, garden decorations and the list goes on and on.
Our moto will always be "Just for Fun"
Stop by and see us if you are in Fillmore, California. We are open Thurs thru Sunday until September then we will be open everyday. Hope to see you.

GRADUATION AND ALUMNI WINDOW

I have to admit this is one of my favorite things to do, decorating windows for special occasions in Fillmore. It is fun to have theme windows and then hoping that people will stop and notice. The Graduation and Alumni Window was a success. The Annuals from Fillmore High School started with 1917 and ending with 1964 were a hit. I put my Class of '64 sweater on our manequin and my husbands Lettermans Sweater on another stand. Too fun, then all other collectables that I can never part with made the window a walk down memory lane.
And yes, people did notice. Graduation is important in Fillmore as it is everywhere and the Alumni Banquet every year is well attended, especially by Graduates from many years ago.
Now that Graduation is over it is time to think of a window for the 4th of July. This is a really big day in our little town. There is a huge vintage car show all day and the cars are parked up and down Central and the side streets. This year there will be around 350 cars on display. My husband has 2 of them registered, I think one is in my name. Soooo the window must be special. Photos to follow.
