This Week... School Spirit... New In the Store... Save The Date!!!

School Spirit...

I bought this funny sign from someone in Iowa a few weeks ago and they told me it came from a junior high school near Cedar Rapids (I've heard that we are are really supposed to say "middle school" now - I think as the solution to some kind of pre-teen, fragile self-image issue worked out by a crack team of sociologists) .

Anyway, I like the sentiment more each day. Maybe if more schools used this as their credo we wouldn't have to worry so much about fragile self-images.

I choose to believe that it's removal is not a reflection of the type of spirit that dwells in our schools today, but the result of the class of '85 outbidding the class of '46 for the right to put up the bigger, better replacement sign in the new "middle" school.

	New In the Store...
All kinds of cool painted trays, a group of unusual Swiss ceramic planters, a kooky vintage hat stand, stained glass windows, garden tables, hanging shelves, cast iron rabbits, tall wicker floor lamps, painted Italian wall sconces, a cool industrial looking bar on wheels. ...a fantastic carved marble column fragment, lots of hanging light fixtures and chandeliers, a really neat Edwardian oil painting with a rope frame, spring steel chairs... ...a pair of gothic stone planters, a bunch of nice chimney pots, a really swanky pair of bronze and caramel glass wall sconces, a couple of great signs and just a "million" other small decorative items.

	Save The Date!!!
I hesitate to say it, but it's almost that time of year... No, not time to try to think of a reason why you can't attend Thanksgiving at Aunt Mabel's. Although there's not a court in the land that would indict for "failure to appear" after twenty-three straight years of green bean abuse (sorry, I've been reading the police blotter again.) The real thing to look forward to on the weekend after Thanksgiving (November 28-30) is our 3rd annual "Home for the Holidays" a very special open house. You know, that great event where our always overflowing barn is also filled with one of a kind gifts, fresh new decorating ideas and all kinds of festive surprises.
