Although Summer has begun...

Although Summer has just begun... it is time to place any last minute orders for Back to School Merchandise. We have a new Male Teacher Nutcracker this year, along with our Graduate Nutcracker that we carry.

Happy Father's Day!

Happy Father's Day to all the Kings in our lives! Enjoy your day of celebration.

Working with my Dad has brought us to a new level of the Father/Daughter relationship. I am so glad to have the opportunity to work with him and have this time together. My husband, Tom, needs to be honored also as he is supporting me and my new adventure in the gift industry. Thank you both, for being in my life.

Weddings...

Weddings - this is the time of the year... in fact, we have 5 to attend this summer starting next weekend. A new blogging friend has posted about weddings and celebrating them, along with decorating and giving for the occasion using, my favorite subject, Christmas ornaments. Please visit the blog below and see his wonderful creations..

The Decorated Tree (of Life)

My sister's wedding was in November and she put on the table for guests.. a beautiful glass ornament in the shape of a wrapped gift in gold and white.. It is a happy memory every year we place it on the tree.

So, long story short, a wonderful gift that is different and special for the Wedding couple to give is a Christmas ornament, or set, for their tree. Another idea is to give an assortment of sizes in the color they chose for their wedding.. for instance, Blue... all sizes from 1 1/4 inch up to a 7 inch ball in their color.

Enjoy the wedding season....

Here we are ... up to our ears in boxes... and so excited to add our new color, Turquoise!.. Our first shipment for 2010.. "on with the show"..

We hope you all have a great weekend! Enjoy!
