December Clearance Sale

Wow, it's December!  Today is the  first day of our end-of-season Clearance.  Lots of great gifts and everything is 20% off right now.  I bought a lot of jewelry this fall so there's an amazing selection to tempt you.  Not to mention all the home decor that's on sale - furniture, lamps, rugs, wall decor.

There's some snow in the air and a bit of snow dust on the ground this morning.  It's beginning to look like
Christmas!

Christmas at The Gables

It's the day after Thanksgiving and I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee and watching the first ice floating down the Fox River.  Thanksgiving Day is over, but the memories linger.  I hope that you had a lovely day.

Today (which I guess is "Black Friday" in the wider world) is Open House for the Gables.  No, we're not opening at 5.  Try me at 10:00!  We have some great store specials and a drawing going on.  Tomorrow is the famous   Cookie Walk.

But - starting December 1st, the December Clearance will start.  Most everything will be 20% off (or more).

Meanwhile - here's a glimpse of Christmas at The Gables.

Thank you gifts for customers

Those are the pertinent details!  It promises to be fun and we'll find out if this is an event we want to repeat.  We just got a new shipment of jewelry, some very nice birch bark baskets, new scarves and hats, "texting" gloves (really cute and they give you quick access to your fingertips), Christmas accents, and all sorts of wonderful stuff.  Look for some photos that I'll be posting soon.

Meanwhile, plan on getting to the Gables on the 11th if you can.  For those who can't make it, we'll see if we can't do it again.

Why we love Fall!

October 4th

It's a frosty morning and it looks like it really is Fall.  I love this time of year and it seems that many of my Gables customers feel the same (of course, there are a few who feel sad because summer is ending....).
A personal note: I was not posting to my blog this summer due to family obligations.  Sometimes you just have to concentrate on the really important stuff and trust that things will work out.  Well, they have and life is going on again.
The Gables has been a big part of my life for over 20 years ( gasp) and I'm looking forward to what unfolds in the future.
