A new year

Here we are, first post of the new year. We've recovered from the holiday shopping madness, the parties, and the sudden drop in temperature (last week it was 60 and yesterday was a chilly 24!).

Salem pretty much shuts down for the winter. Most of the attractions are closed, and many of the stores downtown will open weekends only. Makes it easy to find a parking spot, but a bit lonely.

This is the time of year we scour catalogs and websites, looking for new and exciting merchandise for our store. We've already spotted a couple of promising items.

We'll keep you updated on all the fun stuff we find, and what's going on in our lovely city. Be sure to check back! See you soon!
