The Good News!

This weekend is pivotal for Christians in centuries past & present & future.............

We heard a beautiful message last evening and one of the main things that spoke volumes was our minister stated the world wants a Christ, but does not want a cross.

May you have a blessed weekend,

We Love This....

We just received our new Domino and
would you believe they had these
King James Version bright colored bibles.

They stated it like this
A best-seller for eons, the Kings James Bible
gets a makeover with candy-bright goatskin cover
and 4 colorful ribbon markers.
$198

a note from k&d
Now just because it's bright colored and fun
it still takes commitment to read every day!

Bravo for Domino to stick this in their magazine!
Yay for the Kings James Version our favorite!

LOL,

Baby Jesus Advent Calendar

Advent Calendar

A Family Tradition

Advent means "the coming" and refers to the 4 week season of preparation for the coming of Jesus on Christmas Day

and anticipation of His coming again. Advent begins the Sunday nearest November 30th and continues until December 24th.

The Advent calendar, which originated in 19th Century Europe, has 24 numbered flaps concealing a biblical scene and verse about the coming of the Messiah. Children especially enjoy opening a new door each day

as Christmas draws near and we come once again to the Birth of Christ.

12" wide and ribbon for hanging. Ribbon will vary. Available at our "petite department store"!

We wish everyone a Blessed Christmas Season.

Kara talked to her California retail friend last week and was told that they were planning Christmas open house already. Yikes, that means we need to get down to business. We have taken a break this past week as we have really just gotten over Country Living fair. We want to get all the new things online by next week. We tried some new products out at the fair and had a great response. We can't wait to show you. Prize Ribbons will be available soon plus a petite offer that involves these and our tablets & pencils. We'll also be re-posting items that are back in stock that you thought disappeared from our website!

Kara received this card from Darcy a while back. Here's what it says........

soon make an appearance!!!
My Love- Darcy

Some of you blog friends know I'm expecting and also know of our journey to have children. I did have a miscarriage this past January. Luke {almost 3 now} is our first miracle. I feel incredibly blessed to be expecting again and in my 20th week. Some of you gals are still "in waiting" and my prayers go out to you.

{my favorite Christian newsletter that comes out 6 times a year on the subject of infertility, adoption, etc

I highly recommend this to anyone as it always came when I needed it most}

So here it is this fall we are presenting "Nesting". I would love to get Luke's baby book scrapbook up to date before this little one arrives in February. I love this company for photo albums, Kolo they have the loveliest of colors and they are simple. I would also like to get baby's room started as well.

I would like to encourage everyone to finish up a project in the month of October. Paint a cabinet, finish something you started, or fall clean.

Fall blessings to all & Happy Nesting!

1,2,3 let the countdown begin!

We're having visions of a sweet Christmas swirled with soft shades and a sprinkle of nutmeg in our store; displays of gifts to give. Yes, that's what Christmas is all about, giving. King of Kings, Lord of all! He gave us the ultimate gift, Jesus Christ. Celebrating Christmas in our "petite department store" style, Jesus didn't come in a big way, no commercialism, just a simple stable. I want our store to be a quiet reflection of this time of year, the real meaning! And, no Santa isn't invited, to this day, we have avoided this figure in our retail boutique. Frankly, there is no room for him in our inn! We want our store to be a place to get gifts for your special ones and to hear "God Bless you this Christmas Season".

Counting down the days of our Christmas open house, November 1st thru 3rd. Our party begins at dusk, Thursday evening as we un-veil our windows for our customers. Expect to hear strains of sheep baaing in an alpine village, a rainstorm and a medley of natures greatest hits. Did I hear a cuckoo clock? Your invited to a Woodland Christmas Party and want to celebrate with you the real meaning of Christmas. May God Bless each of you and despite the busy-ness of the season, remember to Crown Him, Crown Him, Lord of all this Christmas 2007....He is still the same yesterday, today & tommorow.
Love,
Kara & Darcy
