Happy New Year: Winter Solstice

As I write this blog we arrive at the winter Solstice. The longest night is behind us and we are heading into a season of more light. Ahhhhhh!!!!!!! And here we are on Main St. in Vineyard Haven with a fresh supply of snow, the lights of Christmas and more than the usual number of shoppers on the street. Very festive and very light. We love this time of year because it is so festive and because "old" friends return for a brief time. This year we are lucky to have Julia MacNelley work for us while on break from the Claremont Colleges. Great to hear the stories from "over there" and great to see a friendly, beautiful face. We are grateful and overjoyed this season and we wish you gratitude and happiness in this new year.

As the sun journeys to the south

Well here we are at the first of November. Halloween has passed and may i say kudos to the Tisbury Business Association for its "Trick or Treat on Main Street" campaign as it was a huge success and much fun for those of us working yesterday. Thank you!! Since we turned our clocks back an hour last night we may look forward to the sun setting at 4:30 this "evening". Another winter is almost upon us but also coming are Thanksgiving and Christmas/Hanukka. We keep a holiday wish list book at the store so stop in and let your friends know what you REALLY want this year. Our Edgartown store has closed for the season. Thanks for all your support.

Baby, it's cold outside!!!!!!!!

So, it's no longer just one cold morning per week getting us acclimated to the cold weather of the winter.  Now it is just plain cold!!   So we continue our 25% off clothing sale.  Come in for warm coats from AddDown, St. James, Creenstone and Victorinox.  We have  a great selection of men's and women's sweaters from St. James, Hartford, Cullen, Icelandic, Diradourian, Eileen Fisher and Margaret O'Leary.  So bundle up and come in!!  Oh yes, our New World Christmas ornaments, pillows and stockings are in for the season.
