Is it really true that summer is getting shorter? Or is it just my view of it? It seems that every year is shorter and shorter, although this year's rainy June likely played a big part in it. We have had sunny weather for the past two weeks and summertime really is here. Last week we even had six days or sun and only 1 overcast!!
We start our Christmas in July sale this weekend, running for a week, and when it is over it will be August (not yet, no). This sale is a new one for us and we will be greatly reducing our things from last year, along with all the other holidays (Valentine, Easter, Halloween). Weather permitting we will have the outside tables filled with bargains of a holiday nature as well as our usual mark-downs,starting at $1. New this year will be our brand new Christmas decorations and table ware. We have tried every year to squeeze a Christmas corner into the shop and this year we have succeeded! We haven't put a real tree up but we do have Nativity sets, boxed Christmas cards, 2010 calendars and datebooks, and Christmas ornaments. Everything Christmas or other holiday related will be on sale along with some special surprises, so come by and see.
Meanwhile, enjoy every moment of this all too short summer. I am taking two days off a week (Sundays and Mondays) and loving every moment of them, relaxing, beach walking, reading, and planning for a filled schedule of events and classes starting in late September (after a two week Alaskan cruise- I can't wait). Hope you can spend time with your favorite summer activities. Feel free to add your comments about summer and how short it really is. Peace and rainbows,
