Hi friends! Happy Thanksgiving Eve! It is gray and cold and rainy here and, while normally that would bum me out, it somehow makes it feel just right for a holiday. Arthur and I did a big grocery shop this morning and now we're stocked up on food and happy to be cozy at home for a few days. All we need is for Steve to get home from work for the celebration to begin! And my brother will be here tonight as well!
Last weekend, we were so busy with the West Elm event that we barely had time to breathe. I am happy to report that it was a huge success- and so much fun! Star came with me to help out and we spent the day chatting with each other and with all the shoppers.
One of my favorite parts about the event was that we got to use anything in the store for display purposes. Star and I "shopped" the store for trays and baskets and lots of large vases. The vases were perfect for displaying bow ties and scarves, which can be really difficult to display.
I'm super excited about the upcoming long weekend for lots of reasons. Personally, I can't wait for the great food, Macy's parade, extra time with my family, and Christmas decorating! Business-wise, I'm expecting lots of holiday sales and am trying to roll out a few new products (world map tech cases!) and photograph our new packaging. I can already tell it's going to be great.
We're keeping it low-key for Thanksgiving this year, but I am trying out a new dessert recipe: Mocha-Espresso Cream Pie. I think Steve and I both are a little over-excited about it.
As usual, we have so many things to be thankful for this year. I hope that you find yourself counting your blessings tomorrow too, in between bites of pie.
See you next week!
