From The Patch

Weekly Specials

It is pouring down rain here right now.  I mean pouring.  It smells incredibly wonderful, and it is so hard to believe that just hours ago it was in the 90s.  It seems like the weather patterns around here have been changing - mother nature, for this area, seems a bit out of wack.  I think it is cool, though, I love storms.  I don't know why, but they just excite me.  The sky turns dark, right in the middle of the day, and all of a sudden you hear these great big booming sounds and flashing lights, all from nature.  I probably love storms because around here you rarely get storms that actually hurt anyone or anything.  So you can feel free to sit back and enjoy the sky doing something a bit different than the run-of-the-mill weather for the day.

Also, here are this week's weekly specials!  Enjoy 10% off of 10 different items online, between now and when I change them again next Thursday.  Half of them are below, but click here to see all of them!

Fall is Coming!

Just a quick note to say that after many requests, tonight I started putting out our Fall, in small preview display.  The photos aren't great, I know, but it was late and there wasn't much in the way of lighting.

The display practically put itself together, it was so much fun.  You come around the corner to this spot and just BAM! you're hit with color.  I'm so excited for fall and Halloween this year, but of course I say that every year.  But this year it feels different (I say that every year too).  I guess life is just like that, there's always new experiences to enjoy, especially now with Ben being two, plenty old enough to really take joy in the festivities of the harvest season.  Seeing all these things come out makes me think of baking, picking pumpkins, burning yummy spicy candles and reading good books under wooly blankies...  Sigh!!!  I just can't wait.
