Paper Tales

Big Sale!

It's official...we're expanding next door instead of across the parking lot! The coffee shop next to us closed, so we are having an opening made. The opening will start at the window and go back 15 feet. We hope to have it completed by mid-July. Now we have to move everything off that wall to another place in the store...which made us decide we'd better have a sale and make some room! We have the back table FULL of sale merchandise. All Cosmo Cricket is 40% off as well. So please stop by, check out the sale and have a cookie! Here's a peek at the sale:

National Moment of Remembrance

Excerpt from "National Moment of Remembrance" memorandum:

As Memorial Day approaches, it is time to pause and consider the true meaning of this holiday. Memorial Day represents one day of national awareness and reverence, honoring those Americans who died while defending our Nation and its values. While we should honor these heroes every day for the profound contribution they have made to securing our Nation's freedom, we should honor them especially on Memorial Day.Accordingly, I hereby direct all executive departments and agencies, in consultation with the White House Program for the National Moment of Remembrance (Program), to promote a “National Moment of Remembrance” to occur at 3 p.m. (local time) on each Memorial Day.
