TBW Daily Diary

Our 38th anniversary sale came to an end in a whirlwind of activity and everyone was in a good mood. Our thanks to all of you who visited us the past two weeks. You made this sale more successful than last year's and we'll be able to add still more product for the holiday season . . . Sixty-three people signed up for our drawing. Larry Kirkhuff and Jon Carfagno determined the winners; Larry shuffled the deck repeatedly while Jon made the selections. Our winners of $25 gift certificates this year are Barbara Allen, Yvonne Brown and Jean Leonard. Yvonne is a repeat winner, incidentally . . . Our first visitors this morning were Mr. and Mrs. Briggs from Toronto, Canada. They found us on that TripAdvisor website and dropped by despite the lady from North Carolina's negative entry. They anticipated a "small" one-room and were delighted to explore the whole first floor; they chose a piece of Campbell pottery. They are so enjoying the area that they would like to return and asked if I could recommend a bed-and-breakfast. While I know there are several, I know nothing about them; if any of you can provide an opinion please e-mail me (address at left). I will pass your comments on to them . . . Candles, candles, candles. Our shipment from Root earlier this week has proved to be a real hit; I may even have to reorder before the end of the year . . . Again, our thanks for all your kindnesses . . . Happy Halloween . . .
