Yesterday in my shop we put Christmas fabrics into the “vault” until “Christmas in July”. With limited floor space, we just can’t have every bolt out at the same time. We still have a cutie-patootie kit of snowmen out for a few more days but in Christmas’s place are NEW arrivals. We tried something else new too.
When he was a year old I had a little spruce tree about 3 feet tall in a pot that we decorated for his Christmas tree. It was cute and we left lights and ornaments on until spring when we planted it in our front yard.
They would turn on the lights and sirens and drive a few blocks to the movie theater we had then. I would cover my ears and be scared silly. The theater was called El Grande and once we arrived there we’d line up, still bundled up to our chins.
My grandfather, Louis Yager (who I adored), started Granby Drug in the 1940s. He had served in the war and when he enlisted his occupation was listed as a druggist. He had taken a course that lasted several weeks and became qualified (imagine that!) He was discharged in 1942, so it was after that when he began Granby Drug.
The new Christmas fabrics are FABULOUS, as well as the new project from Hoffman. They’re different, including three different panels that are digital prints that could make stunning wall hangings. We also have an advent calendar that is super cute by Henry Glass. It is cute, cute! Halloween hasn’t yet hit us though, and we do still have a selection of Halloween still looking at us in the shop.
