December 2019: It's on....December 7, from 11 am to 4 pm. If you are on the emailing list, you received an invitation by email (and you will get a reminder very soon). If you are not on the email list and you would like to come, just let me know and I'll send you all the info. Hope to see you Saturday!
***If you are looking here for information about a 2018 Open House, I have to disappoint, as I am unable to host on this year. You are always welcome to contact me individually, however, if there is a piece of jewelry you are interested in, or if you need to find a gift for a pet lover this holiday season. Just contact me through this website.***
On the first Saturday of December, I host an open house. I started doing this because many of my customers wanted an opportunity to purchase gifts for the holiday season. I like to host my open house because I like happy customers, and I like an opportunity to visit with you. Sometimes it gets really busy and I can't visit as much as I envisioned, but that's a good thing, and hopefully, you will be happy anyway because you get to eat some tasty treats and visit with the resident pooches, Maeve and Maggie. This will be Maeve's first open house (2016), and I know she will enjoy it. She loved Halloween because it meant that every trick-or-treater and every parent showered her with attention. I was worried that Maeve may take the opportunity to bolt out the front door during my open house, but with so many dog lovers willing to pet her, I don't think she will want to leave. Maggie is now experienced at hosting an open house. She loves the attention, too, but watch out--Maggie is a licker! Interacting with Maeve and Maggie can be hairy business, but don't worry...I have lots of lint rollers.
So maybe you haven't been to one of my open houses before and you don't really know me and you're not entirely comfortable coming to my house, but you'd like to see what it's all about...Well, I want you to know that I hope you will come and check it out. You are welcome to come and look and have some cookies, and you don't have to feel like you need to make a purchase. I am inviting you as a friend; whether or not you leave as a customer is up to you. I will be glad to see you in either case. And you may win a piece of jewelry or a mini portrait just for stopping by.
If you can't make it on that Saturday but would still like a chance to check things out, you can let me know and we can set up a time for you to drop by the following week. I won't be able to offer you the table of tasty treats and I will already have drawn the winners of the jewelry and portrait, but everything else will be set up for a little while, and Maeve and Maggie and I will be just as happy to see you.
If you are on my emailing address, you will be getting (or have gotten) your invitation in your inbox. If you are not on my email list and would like to come to my open house, click here, and tell me you are interested in attending, and I'll send you an invitation. I hope to see you in December!
