hotcakes and ice cream!


Maybe it's just me but wasn't it ike 62 degrees a couple days ago and now it's so hot you can't possibly breathe. OR if you just stand still you could sweat off a few pounds? NAH, not worth it!

It can do really bad things to a girls hair.

Here's a suggestion:

get yourself and your friends one of these bath ice creams and treat yourself to a spa at home.

Just chuck one in your tub. It fizzles, has moisturizers from mostly organic oils and smells delicious! In flavors like "Gotta Have It Pomegranate" and "Green Tea", how could you pass it up!

my dogs are barkin'

So I know these posts are supposed to be about the shop and new stuff and things like that, but...I gotta tell you about this place.
I have been spent the last three days at gift shows finding new and wonderful goodies for the shop. Saturday was Market Square where we find most of our more "country" handmades, and Sunday and Monday were spent in NYC at the Mecca of all gift shows at Jacob Javits Convention Center. I'm pretty sure I walked the equivalent of a marathon.

Aaaanyway, fortunately for me, I had an excellent travelling companion. I have decided that she is now in charge of all social event coordination.
Sunday after the show we went to this groovy shop called Toy Tokyo. They specialize in imported toys and collectibles from Japan. We spent at least an hour looking at all manner of Godzillas, anime figures, old cereal character bobbleheads and even Michael Jackson dolls. That was cool.

THEN we travelled to what I might call "Heaven on Earth" It's this little tiny restaurant called S'Mac. All they make is macaroni and cheese. Oy! The food was fab, the vibe was cool and the owners were lovely. Check it out next time you visit the Big Apple. Oh, and a little tip, go for the smallest portion size and try a couple different kinds. Even the medium is large!!

hotcakes and grilled cheese



this weeks best seller...hold on to your hat Marge!!


HOLY TOAST!



I'm glad to see our customers have the same sense of humor that we do! This thing cracks me up. You press it into your bread, toast it up, and VOILA! the Virgin Mary appears.


I know it ain't grilled cheese but...

soooo...what's new?





okay. So we got a little box from our favorite ups guy the other day. Ho-hum. Then, I opened it! Just in time for Musikpest, we got these groovy jazz guitar ice cube tray/drink stirrer doo-hickies. They rock! and so will your Mojito when you include one of these bad boys!
