  Twas the night of Thanksgiving, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring, we were stuffed full of grouse.   (Ok, we had turkey, and you probably did too, but that doesn't rhyme, so work with me here people, it's called artistic license!) As I was saying ... I looked at my mom, and we lifted our feet, stuffed clear to the top with good things to eat. When what did our wondrous ears hear time after time? The e-mail coming into my phone, going chime chime chime chime! Was it family?  Was it friends? Wishing us...

It's a little hard to believe that Small Business Saturday is just over a week away.  It feels like just yesterday it was Spring and now we're getting ready for Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, and then it's just a hop skip and a jump to Christmas, Hanukkah, New Years and 2016!  But, those holidays aren't here QUITE yet, so everybody take a deep breath with me.  *breathe in, breathe out, rinse, repeat*  (Feel free to keep doing that as needed.)  I was speaking to a vendor yesterday and wished him a Happy Holiday.  He corrected me to "Merry...

This rainy dreary Saturday is a #SoupSaturday if I ever saw one. So, I thought I'd share a recipe for one of my favorite soups - Cheesy Potato - and also a hot tip for heating leftovers!  Hop on over to facebook so you can save this to your timeline or tag a friend!

(And on the stove, and in the oven, and ...) What...

It's always exciting to get a new shipment of Harmony Kingdom.  Sure, the pictures are wonderful, but they don't truly do justice to these mini works of art.  I have so much fun looking at all the detail, then making sure to try and get all the details in every picture.  The 2015 Santa - Nick's Nightmare - arrived last week (I spent the week sick as a dog, so it's taken me a bit to post about it) and it's just as fantastic as every year.  I just have one question, as Indy and I have the same phobia:...

When the makers of Pretty Tools - Fig Design - came out with these Aluminum Armor wallets a few years back, I was very impressed.  My customers were even more pleased!  One of the fastest selling lines I've carried in almost 18 years of business, these wallets still fly out the door every day.  They protect you against RFID theft (which is when a thief can steal all of the information out of your wallet without ever touching you, just by holding an electronic gizmo near you - obviously a very serious issue) and they're handy and fun, too!  I hear...
