Dear Blog Readers,
We have become the kind of blogger we never wanted to be — the kind who has a "read our blog" button on our website but the newest post is months old. We blame Facebook for this — it's so much easier to write something there and we seem to have more followers there than we did here on the blog. Still, we can't quite bring ourselves to give it up altogether yet — so instead, we're posting this little note to explain our lack of current entries. Please do check out our facebook page, we think it's fun, if not quite as long form.
sincerely, the Joie de Blogger.

It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like . . .


Well . . . we didn't open at 6 a.m. this morning, or have any deep discounts . . . and there was no line jockeying for position when I unlocked the door at 10 - but, people were out shopping and it was a fun day. We have donned our gay apparel - or put out almost all of our seasonal merchandise (done yesterday before an evening Thanksgiving dinner) so we're ready - Christmas cards, advent calendars, ornaments, snowglobes . . . all the stuff that comes, like Christmas, but once a year. This beautiful papercut on view in our window was designed by our friend and ex-Joie employee Danielle Nekimken - and made by Annie Howe in Baltimore - check out her beautiful work here! Click on this photo to see how beautiful and intricate it really is - and find the devil duck while you're at it!
