HERE'S TO
OUR SHOPPES AND SHOPPERS OF 2010

There is no doubt that the last couple of years has taken a toll on our specialty shoppes in our quaint little shopping district. Being in the business of renting our cottages in Heritage Village to specialty shops, it has been a rough ride keeping our shoppes filled, since we are a community of shops that are not a necessity.

 

In recent times, I decided to be one of them by opening a shop. This would not only let me walk in their shoes, but also have some fun too boot! Along with some creative friends of mine, we decided to take on the challenge of opening a Gift & Home Decor shop in the Heritage House. It has been a long time since I have been in this position and boy, is it an eye opener! A flood of memories come back daily, since this is not my first rodeo. I, along with partner Toni Chatman, had "Simple Country Pleasures" over 25 years ago (where Cafe on the Avenue sits today). One memory, that happened this Christmas too, was my holiday decorations at home and personal shopping did not happen until Christmas Eve and after. This reminded me that my priority, as a specialty shop, is making sure our customer shopping experience is #1. Let me just say, lots of organization and thinking ahead is my #1 for 2011 New Year's Resolution! haha I also want to say, I have a whole new respect for my neighbor shops and the hard work it takes to stay in business!

 

A BIG thank you to our faithful customers! Because of you, our Historic Downtown District is not a ghost town! Please continue to spread the word about our quaint specialty shoppes, in the heart of Historic Downtown Crystal River.

 

Here's to a Brighter 2011!

 

Happy New Year!
