i miss you but in between trying to find time to shower and trying to find the packing tape, i just don’t have time for you. i’ll be back before too long.

xo, megan

we received an order of fresh handmade holiday truffles from rachel (aka the cocoa nymph) today. YUM! in store only for a limited time (like i might eat them all. tonight.) we also received more of the to-die-for toffee from elaine’s in chicago AND cocoa nymph chocolate bars & nuts too. and tomorrow…MORE marshmallows from butter bakery arrive. we have one lonely package left.

your sweet tooth will thank you.

there’s an app for just about everything these days. i wish there was one that would update my blog.

thanks to everyone who came to our shopping night last night, wow what a great turn-out! i’m sorry we didn’t have the time or space to gift wrap as advertised! perhaps the vintage military desk with the work space the size of a small briefcase wasn’t the best idea after all…i hope you guys had fun anyway and again, i’m really sorry. i will never win any awards for planning that’s for sure.

alrighty…i’m off to mail online orders! trying to remind myself to BREATHE.

has september, april, june and november. all the rest have 31 except February which has 28.”

my aunt taught me this rhyme when i was little to keep track of how many days are in each month. i wish there were about 30 MORE days this november because i am totally & completely NOT ready to wake up to december tomorrow.

i made it back to vancouver (shot this on my way home from the airport on my iphone…while driving….in the rain…good thing my dad doesn’t read my blog or he’d be really mad at me).

if you haven’t been to YVR, we have a massive halogen light display of the olympic rings as you leave the airport.

anyhoo…my flight left madison late so i had to sprint to terminal C (o’hare is a big airport!) but i just made it. now back to updating the website, re-arranging the shop to make room for all the new arrivals and decorating for the holidays!

to grandmother’s house i’ve come…

i’m in madison, WI for a quick pre-holiday visit with my gram and family here in wisconsin. argie has been holding down the fort and i’ll be back in the shop on thursday and promise to begin updating you guys on all the new arrivals (poor argie has been slammed with shipments while i’ve been gone.) stay tuned!

had a lovely weekend in hood river, OR with my family for an early holiday celebration. the orchards are so lovely in the off season. this pear was hanging all by its lonesome…

i am now paying the price for being gone for a few days. SO. MUCH. TO. DO.

aiming for a HUGE web update on friday (which will only happen if i can find my keyboard under all these boxes) and also have BIG plans for turning our little shop into a winter wonderland.

must go take bubble bath now. nite nite.
