Well, we had Black Friday, Small Business Saturday and Cyber Monday. I think the advent calendar is slowly being replaced by marketing tactics of big companies. Shall we continue through to Christmas with a cavalcade of ridiculous names for the days of the week for the next four weeks? Tomorrow can be, oh, I don’t know, something like Tumbling Price Tuesday, then Widiculous Price Wednesday, Throw Up Thursday, because the prices are so low you’ll want to just throw up…your hands in the air. Then we can roll into the weekend with Flat Line Friday’s because by then you’ll just want to be dead. I kid. Holiday Hell can turn into Holiday Hell-o when you discover our little corner of the world.
On that note (shameless plug) The Stillroom Gift & Tea Shop was a wonderful discovery for so many new people that came in during the festivities of the last few days. I am grateful to everyone who came in and enjoyed the evening with A Taste of Heaven Bakery shortbread teapot cookies made just for us by Melinda and the samples of our dip mixes and of course, our holiday tea tasting.
As one woman put it on Sunday when she answered her phone in the shop, ” I am in this cool little shop that I just discovered and they have all kinds of tea and other different little things.”
