TheBurg's December issue debuted today and The Bare Wall is the subject of a feature article. The phone has been ringing off the hook; I didn't realize that there were so many avid readers although we have been advertising with the paper for a few months. Peter Durantine truly captured the essence and ambiance of the store like no other writer in our 37 years--and we've enjoyed several very good write-ups in the past. I assume the story will be available on-line at their site in the not-too-distant future and if so I will post the link for you out-of-towners . . . Placed another order for our chocolate mints; the first shipment is flying out the door. I am beginning to see the awakening of the holiday spirit . . . JJ had his first sip of (non-alcoholic) eggnog tonight. We weren't sure he would care for it, but when no one else was looking he suckered Bob into filling his little paper cup a second time . . . There are some very good buys on the soaps and lotions table thanks to our suppliers; some items are being discontinued and we are down-sizing some others. Thanks to the Euro, the French rounds have gone to $6. so we are selling out the remainder at $5 and will bring in the smaller less expensive bar . . . This picture was taken a week ago so the current stock many not be as extensive as it appears here . . . (click to enlarge) . . .
