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~

Sweeping out the Old, Welcoming in the New

Happy New Year to Everyone! 

We are fresh off of 2012 and have hopefully swept all the old cobwebs out of our corners.  We are ready and willing for a great 2013!

This year we are welcoming our Zim's Heirloom Nutcrackers as one of our lines.  We were also asked by a reputable Vendor in China to carry their Nutcrackers as one of our lines.  The Whitehurst Company is pleased and honored to be chosen for this too.  Our line of Zim's Elves Themselves are growing by leaps and bounds.  Currently, there are over 40 Elves available, with more coming each year!.  In the mix, we have The Cellar Elves and Halloween Elves too.  Our line of Oberfrankische German Glass continues to evolve and grow.  Many new items here as well. 

We are very Thankful to all our customers, friends and fans!  We are working hard at improving our service to you at every level.  Please let us know if you have any suggestions or concerns as we move into 2013.

Be sure to follow us on the ever important Social Media Sites...

Falling for The Cellar Elves

 

 

Introducing ...

~Zim's The Cellar Elves~

 

When I think of Fall, I often think of wine tours, wine tastings, cozy nights by the fire with wine... I guess there is kind of a theme.  But, now that I am in the Christmas business, I am also thinking of Wine Elves.....

 

 

 

 

They have arrived and are already busy at work... cleaning, taste testing and playing around in the wine cellar.  They also moonlight as Vinegar Tasters in the kitchen!

 

 

Zim's The Cellar Elves are a hearty bunch of busy elves.. They are ready to order and are immediate ship for your gift shop, for the holidays or year round for a winery gift shop.  Come and enjoy the magic.
