Ms. Anderson, The Magician!

I've known Gay for a long time and she never ceases to amaze me when it comes to her displays. They are not only magical, but she puts them together with such ease. Last week-end was Halloween and her arbor had been all decorated for the occasion. And when I came in to work Monday, her arbor above went from "THAT" to. . ."THIS"! The Halloween arbor was instantly turned into a festive Christmas holiday display! And when I began to look around, Christmas was displayed differently all over and looked spectacular! Everything looked as if winter had just dusted the displays with a light falling snow, seriously! I kid you not!! Each time I walk over by Ms. Anderson's holiday displays, it just makes me feel like Christmas is in the air! I would like to say this is my favorite of all her displays, but to be honest, I can't pick just one! Out here in California, our seasons don't change much. So for me, I just stroll through Sweet Peas Designs and I know right away what season it is! The displays ARE that good!!

Holiday Ideas

Whether you want to admit it or not, Christmas is now less than two months away. And just like you, I know there are some people we need to get gifts for that just seem to have everything! You know what I mean? Well, here is a small sampling of some wonderful holiday gift giving ideas. And don't forget, gift baskets are always fun to put together! Below is just a few suggestions from Sweet Peas Designs. And note, I said "just a few" because there are so many more wonderful treasures for your gift giving needs courtesy of Ms. Anderson! How about some handcrafted redwork pillows for those that wished they had time to sew, but don't, and could tell their friends they made the pillows themselves! Do you have a sister you need to shop for? And maybe she is like my sister, who is nothing like me, and impossible to find the right gift. How about something kind of "sisterly"? Who doesn't like to eat? Not only is this "Holiday Jam" just right for the holidays, but Ms. Anderson has a huge selection of jams to choose from. All of which are very tastie!! The holiday cocoa is one of my very favorites. What a great hostess gift to bring to one of your holiday parties or dinners. What I've just shown you is ONLY a tiny sampling of all the wonderful merchandise that Sweet Peas Designs carries. Please check back at the end of the week for some more terrific pictures of Ms. Anderson's own Sweet Peas Designs.

Our Japanese Tourists LOVE These!

A couple of weeks ago, a big bus filled with Japanese tourists parked across the street. All these Japanese women lined up behind the leader, a man, the only man in the group. And he marched them across Chapman into our store, Country Roads. He looked familiar and I remembered that he had brought another tour bus to the store about this time last year. The women scattered in every direction. They were shopping for mostly smaller items. I was amazed at how many of these woman bought the little snow globe with the Christmas tree. It was very cute, as we helped them with their American currency and they laughed and giggled. But for some reason, many of them were intrigued with this item. And the second most popular purchase by many were also from Ms. Anderson's "Sweet Peas Designs". She sells small lotions in tubes which our friends from Japan just loved. If you haven't been in lately, I hope you make a point to stop by. As you would expect, Ms. Anderson has some great displays and also there is so much holiday merchandise, you would be amazed!

Bird Brain!

Just in, and NO, I'm not calling anyone a Bird Brain, are the new Fall Designs from Bird Brain! The one thing I love about Country Roads and Ms. Anderson is that each time I come in the door, things have changed. That is WHY I always talk about "if" you haven't been in lately to stop by. Ms. Anderson is always changing things up! I love the color orange, especially this time of year. Bird Brain has a whole new line of patterns out and new colors of thread for Fall. Crows, sunflowers, orange, full moons, Halloween, and much more remind me of this wonderful time of year. And to bring home some of the brilliant colors of Fall, please stop by Ms. Anderson's "Sweet Peas Designs". I have a feeling you will "have" to take something home!
