Happy Holidays

Christmas brings such a time of love
Each tender heart holds so much of
Unselfishness thrives, trust is strong
The purpose to give, send love along.

A time of pleasantries, patience too
Good wishes to all, all feelings true
Thankfulness follows each fine deed
Gifts from our God, never from greed.

Great the rewards that joy does bring
Like the beauty in hearing angels sing
We pray for our loved, each so dear
Especially those who can't be near.

Many leave home to bravely serve
All freedoms we have, they preserve
Do pray for our troops, as we should
And their families too, if you would.

Give thanks to our Lord, His only Son
And cherish His Christmas, everyone.

Merry Christmas from Jamie & Wendy!

Get 'em while there here!

We received a shipment in of the new Oopsy Daisy Peel & Place Art this morning and they won't last long. This is our 5th shipment since October and we just can't keep them in stock. It is such a brilliant idea...you put the art where you want it and it can be removed or replaced later. We have these sets on our walls in the store and no one can tell they aren't hand painted on. Kids love these!

Oh So Original!

Wendy and I are all about supporting artists, both local and national. Those people who create such unique items that you know you have something truly special. If you share our love for supporting handmade items you will be happy to know that our resident artist - Wendy- just brought in some of her one-of-a-kind albums and some special fairy wands that are so cute you'll want them all (I personally have already bought 3 wands... like every 31 year old woman needs right???)
I'll added a few of my WISH list art pieces for my home (you know, what I always list when my husband asks me what I would buy first if we won the lottery) you can click on any of them to find out more about the artists. Have a great weekend ~J

**UPDATE - 12/17/07 - it seems someone has shoplifted the album that I featured above - WOW, we are both just stunned. bah humbug!**

We are honored to be included in the holiday gift guide for Jacksonville's Luxury Living Magazine. They had the photo shoot a couple of months ago so we weren't sure what items were going to make it in. The phone started to ring with people trying to buy what they were seeing the magazine. Jamie and I ran down to the grocery store to see what all was inside. We are happy to see they picked out some of our best sellers. The retro sofas and the ric-rac dress with matching purse. Just in time for Santa!

What a party!

We finally have recovered from the Open House, it was so much fun! The store was filled with people, the snacks were delicious and we were able to make one lady very, very happy!We had a little help drawing a name for the winner of the double stroller. And the winner was...

Janice Batch! We couldn't be happier, we know her two boys are going to love going for rides in this. Thank you all for making the past 3 years the best!

Happy Birthday to Us!!!

Thank you so much for making our store so the best in Jacksonville! We have enjoyed getting to know each and every one of you.
