It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

I love the Christmas season. The candles in the window, the lights on the tree, the cold and the snow…I’ll take it all. I especially love all of the get togethers…from family holiday dinners, to neighbor cocktail parties to a lazy lunch with old friends in the down time between Christmas and New Year’s Eve. To me, this month is all about celebrating connections.

I think, too, this season of giving is part of why I wanted to open my own gift shop. I have always loved shopping for that that one-of-a-kind specialty item that would just light up a friend's or a hostess’s face when I presented it.

Any time I do buying for the shop, I put myself in that gift-giver role. I look for things that are beautiful or whimsical or luxurious…things someone might not buy for herself but would love to receive in a gesture of friendship or appreciation.

A few of my favorites this season are the wine-theme Santa ornaments, the Winedles (soy-base candle in a refinished wine bottle and our wine tasting kits. I also love our Habersham Wickless Candle Bowls and the new scented wax sachets. I can hardly keep these in stock!

Hope to see you soon around town, especially for Midnight Madness this Friday!
