a holiday preview of The French Hen

An Enchanted Christmas

The elves are in the basement of the store opening carton after carton, unwrapping and pricing all of the elements of a magical Christmas decor. This year will not disappoint...sparkley mercury glass, unique garlands and lots of snow...photos to come.

Golden leaves flutter down from the trees and dance across streets in the wind. A chill in the air suddenly invites us to light fires in the fireplace, bring out our sweaters, and cozy up for autumn.

Whenever the Fall mood strikes you, there are some quick ways to decorate. Simple little touches of warm fall color and whimsy are all that's needed.
Have fun!





If decking out the digs isn't your thing...try a ring. These "hotcakes" are bold and funky. One is all the jewelry you will need for any outfit.
