Christmas Sale

I just put most of the remaining small Christmas goods on sale for 25 percent off on eBay, packing it all up next week and starting fresh!

So Next Year When I'm Wondering if Business is Always This Bad Before Christmas, It Is

I went to look at old blog posts from this time in years past to see if I mentioned how much sales come to a screeching halt mid-month.  Turns out, I hardly write a thing in December, but if memory serves, I think it is always like this.  I always dislike the change from Christmas goods to everyday at first.  I mean, after all, I adore adding jingle bells to everything.  I'm sure I'll get an inspiration and be on to new things eventually.  In the meantime, I'm just addicted to making photo charms.  I think I did 50 yesterday, here are a tiny few...

Christmas Full Steam Ahead

Amidst all the usual seasonal shop craziness, I took time out to decorate the house.  If only now I could just sit and look at it, but must rush off to ship and list more!

The Catspaw Primitives Country Christmas Antique and Craft Show 2016 Version

PANIC!!!!  I have only two days to complete one million tasks before setting up for my annual Christmas sale.

So, let's start with the particulars.

Thursday, November 17th from 10 am to 7 pm
Friday, November 18th from 10 am to 7 pm
Saturday, November 19th from 10 am to 2 pm

and this is where it will all happen, 302 S. 15th Street in Clarinda Iowa

I will have the place packed with handcrafted ornaments, wreaths, trees, santas, snowmen, candles, and jewelry.  As always, I have a huge selection of antiques, primitives, china and all good things!  I'll post sneak peek photos of the show on Wednesday evening, hope you can come!

Now, I need to return to my nervous breakdown.

Santas of Many Colors

This just about did me in this week, I thought I would never finish these.   At long last, though, we have Santas!

All Christmas All the Time

I am on a Christmas roll, seeing everything in a Winterwonderland kind of context now.  Here are the latest offerings on the way to eBay.  Somewhere, I also have to find time to get my Christmas sale put together for Clarinda--I have one and one half weeks to prepare.  Time to panic!

Fun with Postcards
