We blinked and the season was over.

While the season is underway, there isn’t much time to think, let alone blog, but that’s when all the fun stuff is happening, so I’ll leave a few pictures here in case you weren’t able to experience the summer in northern Michigan. Our windows tell the story of what is going on inside the store, so I’m including all of our store windows from June through October. The summer was perfect, by the way. I didn’t hear any complaints about the weather - and I usually do!

Nancy did all the windows again this year and they are pretty fun and spectacular. She has a gift for creating clever window spaces on a budget and an eye for color and pattern that is hard to beat.

Sue and Patti and Kerry worked most of the shifts behind the counter. They are all wonderful humans who are helpful and kind and funny. I’m stepping away from that aspect of the job for the most part, although I do like to work a day or two a week so that I can see customers!

While I’m getting older, I’m still not ready to retire. I’m going to work as long as it’s still fun and it’s STILL FUN!

We’re open through the end of 2022, so if you find yourself in the area, please stop in and say hello! We have lots of fun things stocked for the holidays. If not, we’ll see your smiling face in the spring of 2023.
