30 days and counting…

Yesterday we received this fantastic Halloween calendar from a special friend of ours in the United States (thanks Jill!!).  We had our fingers crossed that it would arrive in time for the first day of October for us to start counting down the days to Halloween…and it did!! 

Just like the traditional Christmas Advent calendar there is a pocket for each day of the month. Tomorrow we are going to fill each pocket with a little treat (or trick) and the first customer who visits us and says “Trick or Treat” each day of October will receive whatever is in the pocket of that day!! There will be just one treat each day so if you are in the neighbourhood pop in and don’t forget to say “Trick or Treat”!!

sneak peak

This is what we saw when we opened up the boxes of our new Halloween products which were delivered today.  We are gearing up for our busiest…yes, you heard it right…our busiest time of year…Halloween!!  We LOVE Halloween and it seems our customers do too.

These fantastic battery operated Jack-O-Lanterns are back this year.  If you missed out last year hurry in as stocks are once again limited.  There are three sizes available.

Stay tuned for more great Halloween products, costume ideas and treats over the coming weeks. And, photos of our shop decorated and stocked for Halloween!!

celebrating dads

Many schools and preschools celebrate Father’s Day with a breakfast as well as providing all the fathers with a portrait of themselves created by their child.  This Father’s Day we decided to have a bit of fun along the same lines in our front window.  One of  love to celebrate’s best friends who is a Preschool teacher asked her class to paint some portraits to hang in our window.  This gorgeous class is currently studying art so it was a perfect opportunity for these little artists to also showcase their masterpieces. 

We wanted to “tie” the Father’s Day theme together so we thought a great way to do this was to raid a couple of tie cupboards and use a variety of patterned ties to hang the portraits.  We are so pleased with the final result!!

It has been so delightful this week  to watch the faces of people walking by – ALL ages – some have stopped to look, some have just glanced, smiled and continued on their merry way while others have even opened the door to tell us how much they LOVE our window.  Thank you.

But the BIGGEST thank you must go out to the Kindy Red artists who have shared with us their talents…and their dads!!  We really hope your dads love their portraits as much as we do!!

And from all of us at love to celebrate to all the dads, grandads and great grandads out there we say-  Happy Father’s Day for Sunday!!
