The time has arrived!!!!  What is about this season that makes me feel like I am 20 years old again and can work all day making floral arrangements and then decorate the store at night.  Is it just plain old adrenalin or is it just that I am so excited about providing the products you want to make your decorating  another Christmas to remember.  Whatever it is, I am loving it.

When I was at market in January I saw this huge lantern (38″ tall) and fell in love with it.  I could envision it as a statement piece on your front porch with greens in it or an outdoor candle glowing to greet your holiday guests at the holidays or all winter long.

Little did I know that this beautiful nativity would be so gorgeous in it.  I am going to put lights in it before the open house.  What better way to make the point that this is truly the reason for Christmas, than to give that special nativity a place of prominence.

Oh, and I also purchased the little nativities.

These are so well done and a great price.  What a great gift to someone who collects nativities.

And, last but not least, this red poinsettia pick is just a small sample of the picks I’ve got waiting for you.  These are so nice and can add such a statement to your Christmas decorating.

The Added Touch is getting some new clothing in and we can’t wait for you to see them.

Hope we get to see you this week!  Here are our hours again: Wednesday, October 24 from 10 to 6; Thursday, October 25 from 10 to 6; Friday, October 26 from 10 to 5; and Saturday, October 27 from 10 to 3.  Oh and don’t forget, all of the Autumn products are 20% off.  You still have a month to use these!
