For He's A Jolly Good Fellow - Great product to add last minute to boost your Father's Day sales...

For He's A Jolly Good Fellow...

Father's Day, a day when Dad's do whatever they want.... our Dad, my husband, chooses to play golf, and then, lay on the couch and watch golf.!?!?..  (not what I chose on Mother's Day)... but, according to my husband, "everyday is Mother's Day!".  Do you agree or disagree?

Anyway, here's to good ole Dad.. Happy Father's Day to you and all the Dad's in the world!

 

Our Elves Themselves are a great added product to help boost your Father's Day sales or for anyone to give as a gift.  How many neckties does one guy need?  How about something unique?

 

 

These great fellows are in stock and ready to ship!  If you are a gift shop, call us at 585-473-4790 or email us at info@thewhitehurstcompany.com.

Happy February!

February 2012

There is so much to celebrate in February!  - if you are talking about the Groundhog ~  I heard Spring is on the way!!!  Here in Rochester, we have had Spring-like days and harsh Winter stormy days.... but, I wouldn't mind Spring-ier conditions.

 

There are so many other things to look forward to ~starting with tonight... The Super Bowl!  Who do you want to win?  My 12 year old won the first quarter - $2 from the family pool.   Then we have Mardi Gras, Valentine's Day, Winter Break from school, President's Day and the Grammy's to name a few.  So, I have put together a few pictures for February that show off great ways to use your left over Christmas decorations and decorate your home in a festive manner. 

Enjoy~

Halloween Treats!

First, of all... it is good to be back... I guess I took the summer off!  Kids are now back at school and we again have a routine that we can semi count on...so, on to blogging....

Halloween Treats

The biggest "treat" for me is to decorate my home for Halloween. We usually have a party.. for the kids... so, I enjoy decorating and using all the fun, Fall colors.   

I have purchased my Mums... orange, of course and next I will get out the decorations.  I started this weekend, but it is hard to put up pumpkins and ghords when it is 80 degrees out and the windows are open.  

Pinterest is my new BFF... visit us at www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.  Check out our Board ~ Glass Ornaments~Fall/Winter and our Board ~ Holiday Ideas.

On here, I have saved a ton of ideas on how to decorate for Fall and Halloween.  Thank Goodness, for all the creative people out there sharing their ideas.

Here are a couple of the images that I love:

Happy Fall!

Make Some Waves...

No matter where you live, if it is summertime, blues, aquas, whites, greens and silvers are among the popular colors to decorate with... 

Make some waves this summer and surprise your guests with tablescapes and hints of summer using glass ornaments.

For instance....

Use assorted colors to go along with a beach theme...fill apothocary jars, vases, wooden bowls, etc.  Place them on coffee tables, buffets, as a dining room centerpiece.. the list goes on.

Here are a few Color Palettes to go by....

Social Media is Everywhere!

Our newest form of Social Media.....

First I started this Blog thing... Decorating Everyday... and although I find it hard sometimes to post on a regular basis with life going on at the same time. Turns out it is so much fun to put together a story and images. So, I love this when I am in my creative mood and chatty.

Then, I put my company, The Whitehurst Company, LLC on Twitter under @glassornaments.  This is easy because I have 140 characters to say something and then it is posted.  Done. 

Next, I bit the bullet and joined Facebook.  We now are on Facebook at www.facebook.com/whitehurstcompany.

The last few days, I have been glued to my laptop.  Producing our latest Social Media outlet, our Pinterest account.  This is so great and melts all my favorite images into one spot, under one username and password.  So, you can also follow us on www.pinterest.com/thewhitehurstco.

 There, now you have it... all of The Whitehurst Company, LLC social media outlets in one post.

Enjoy and follow us!  I promise lots of fun and creative uses for our products.

Have a great day!

~Kirsten
