On the First Day of Christmas..... I'll Shop Till I Drop

Hello Ladies! Here's our girls from Beavercreek during Open House a few weeks ago - I thought I'd use them as our intro picture for Shop Till You Drop ('cause these ladies REALLY know how to shop - don't ya gals!???)

Well, we did it! When Karrie and I were talking about our upcoming holiday season back in September, we said "Shop Till You Drop" - what if we really made them shop till they dropped? We came up with an idea to pitch to area stores, and went out to share that idea. What a crazy time! We went to 31 stores and restaurants and gave them our idea. Calling back to check and see if they were in - checking in with advertising, wow!

You will be pleased when you visit all of the stores we've found for you! Grab some friends, along with your tennis shoes and join us for our Shop Till You Drop Open House:


Shop Till You Drop
with The Summer Kitchen & Friends
Friday, November 30th 10am-8pm
Saturday, December 1st 10am-5pm
Sunday, December 2nd 1pm-5pm
(hours are suggested - but some stores differ - check your bags before heading off to the stores mentioned below!)

Join us, along with 21 stores in Elmore, Woodville, Genoa, Pemberville and Gibsonburg. Stop in at The Summer Kitchen to pick up a bag full of coupons for the participating stores, and a map that will get you where you need to go!
Well, I must be honest - you may not find seven swans a-swimming, six geese a-laying or five golden rings......well, rings perhaps - if you hop into the jewelry store! However, we will promise you a good time and a chance to find things that any partridge would love to have under their tree!

Come on!What are you waiting for - this will be a shopping adventure unlike any you've been on before - just look at all the shopping you'll do...

Thanksgiving blessings

For each new morning with its light,
For rest and shelter of the night,
For health and food,
For love and friends,
For everything Thy goodness sends.

--Ralph Waldo Emerson

Wow - can you believe that it is here? What a year - it certainly is flying by! Karrie and I can't get over how fast it has gone. We certainly want to tell you all how much we appreciate you guys. Entertaining our old friends, and certainly making many new friends along the way has been a joy of ours this year. So thank you, and know that we thank God for all of you and wish many blessings for your families this Thanksgiving!

Come Home For Christmas...

Warm, inviting, comfortable, cozy.......this is the Christmas we have envisioned this year. Nothing says Christmas more than these images! Face it, you want a relaxed, old fashion Christmas - we know we do! We sat back (for 10 seconds) today and really can't get over how this Christmas looks so different from last years display.....we really can't wait to share it with you! Here are some fabulous sneak peaks.....but we won't give it all away - that we will have to save for next week!!
Mom has 15 cookies....and counting. You think Paula Dean is all that, well, she hasn't met our Momma.....Becky Jean (we love to tease her!). Well, Paula would really have some competition, let us tell you! Not only will you be sampling as many as these beauties as you will let yourself, but you will see all of the wonderful items we got in, just for you!

This year we have staggered our Christmas merchandise to come in several "waves" The biggest shipment, now, but we've strategically set several other shipments of gift items and a few more Christmas themed items to come between now and "Shop 'Till You Drop". Girls, we have so much fun planned for "Y'all" this holiday season - but I won't let the cat out of the bag just yet, that will come next week too!
Well ladies, we will see you this weekend - we can't wait!!!
