How the Magic Happens….

Things are heating up! The Holiday orders are coming in at a rapid pace, we had our Annual Party last evening, our Greenwich Pop Up is opening on Saturday and our team is settling in with a great rhythm! Before we write about another wonderful Gift Guide that we are a part of, I thought I’d show you a little behind the scenes of what’s going on at the shop & some of the wonderful people we have on our team.  We are sooo happy to have Christopher back (here he is with his Annie’s Blue Ribbon Water Bottle that went around the world with him on his musical world tour). If you get an internet order from us, all nicely packed- chances are Christopher had a part of it. And we are THRILLED to have Sharon, above, on board as the manager of our Greenwich Pop Up Shop. Here she is earlier this week setting up some of our Stocking Stuffer Bins. The shop is JAMMED PACKED with lots of fun treats- can’t wait for opening day on Saturday!!!

Do You Have Shower Curtains?

One of the many great things about working at the shop is being able to help customers out with their product requests. A few weekends ago, we had a lot of fun requests and most of the time we had what people were looking for.  People asked …

“Do you have watering cans?” – Answer: YES!

“Do you have moustaches?” – Answer: YES!

“Do you have a good housewarming gift?” – Answer: YES!

One particularly popular inquiry was, “Do you have shower curtains?” and of course the answer is YES! We have a super cool Do-It-Yourself Shower Curtain – $33, that is perfect for any bathroom. Perhaps your shower needs some sprucing up or your crafty friend is looking to redecorate.  You can’t go wrong since it’s customizable and can match any decor scheme.  Keep it in mind as you start your holiday shopping!
