October 2011
Welcome October!!! We've waited a whole year for your return and we eagerly anticipate the beautiful colors and crisp days that always accompany you!
And, welcome to you, dear customers/friends, to another monthly newsletter and Fall Season.  We are excited about all the craziness that is associated with us in the Fall.  We're usually busy with lots of photos this time of year and we start revving up the Holiday Season with those who like to get their Christmas shopping done early.  We will also be attending what looks to be a great market weekend in Atlanta this month, too. So, yes, it's a busy time, but a great time! 
Something about this season makes me want to be creative and do "homey" things too (especially cook)!  I've held off on my temptations to make that first pot of chili...just not been quite cool enough yet, but I do see that coming in the near future!
September was a great month with the Civil War Art Exhibit in our gallery.  So many of you came out to experience this amazing collection of artwork by Marie Burchette Merritt.  We are grateful for all the attention it received! Although the wall of original pieces has come down, we do still have several originals hanging and always have the prints available. 
Read on below and mark your calendars for some upcoming dates you don't want to miss!
Come see us soon, we'd love to catch up on what's going on with you...
  


 
 

It's time to start making preparations for the upcoming Holiday Season!   Wouldn't it be great to set a goal and have at least half of your gift-buying completed before Thanksgiving?

 

 I know, I know some of you are traditionallly last-minute thinkers and shoppers, but just imagine how relaxed you could make your Holiday Season just by planning a little bit earlier!

 

If this sounds great to you, we are here to help!  Below are just some of the ways we can make your shopping experience more enjoyable this year:

 

  • Wish-List Program - Fill one out for yourself and/or have a loved-one fill out their list. (makes things really simple!)
  • Easy Plan - Purchase custom framing/artwork by paying half down and follow a scheduled payment plan. (Paid in full by December 23rd)
  • No Snooping - We'll hold any purchased item until Friday, December 23rd, so your snooping gift-recipient will not have the opportunity to find any packages.
  • Gift-Wrapping - We'll gladly gift-wrap any item purchased in our gallery for FREE!  Ok, men, now you just have no excuses!!
  • 2012 Buck$ - Purchases over $100 in November and December will receive reward bucks to be used in January of 2012.  (check in store for full details)

 

 

SAVE THE DATES:

Friday, November 18th

&

Saturday, November 19th

 

You are NOT going to want to miss the activites we have planned this year for our Holiday celebration!  We are teaming up with three of our neighbors, Tinsley-Bible, Wice Flower Shop & Thomas Tavern and we're planning some things we've never done before...including some fun guests.

Keep watching for more details coming soon, but mark both dates down now as you will surely want to attend both Friday and Saturday!

 

pink ribbonIt's Breast Cancer Awareness Month:

 

We celebrate all of our customers who are Survivors and pray for all our customers who still battle on a daily basis.

In honor of all women, we, along with one of our best framing suppliers, Larson-Juhl, are offering  a special "pink" sale through October.

Donna with Sundance Ridge Interiors has outdone herself with our newest window treatment!  It is so beautiful and compliments the gallery so well.  The quality and design are just top-notch and we can't wait for you to see her work.  

She is working on a special project for us...she is custom designing a Christmas tree skirt in this year's color palette for the gallery.  We are so excited about it!

She can also design one for you, (given enough lead-time).  Even if you use the same ornaments year after year, your tree can appear completely different by adding a new skirt.  Just like changing accessories on a favorite outfit, or the mat on a picture, a new tree skirt can give it a whole new look!!!  (Also, think about a fantastic, new, custom-designed tablecloth for the holidays!)

And, of course if you are looking for some amazing window treatments to spruce up your home, look no further, Donna is by far one of the best around!! (What a great Christmas gift that would be...new window treatments!!)

Be A Santa To A Senior
Our friends at Tinsely-Bible Drugstore are sponsoring an amazing opportunity to help create a special Christmas for a senior citizen.  You can visit Tinsley-Bible Drugs to pick up a wish tag from their gift tree. All you need to do is return the purchased item unwrapped to the store and Home Instead Senior Services will wrap and deliver the gift to a local senior in need.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will go a long way in making a special senior citizen feel special and remembered.  
The gift tree will be on display from November 4th through November 23rd.  And for those of you who might be out of town and can't come by to pick a special senior's wish tag from the tree, call me and I'll be happy to go over and pick one for you! 
Please return all gifts (unwrapped) to the store prior to November 30th. 
For more information on Home Instead Senior Care, visit www.homeinstead.com or call 866-996-1087.
