Happy Birthday Wolcott! This summer marks the bicentennial
of the town of Wolcott. With so many activities and celebrations
going on, it's a great place to visit this summer. We have
"gussied up" the building to help join in the
fun. After all we are housed in the oldest commercial
building in Wolcott.
( built in 1836)
As usual we've come up with some great stuff. We were
able to come to an agreement with out Indian supplier and now
offer Banana Leaf Journal at a great price! We have
several other types of journal, all with hand made paper.
They make great travel journals, scrap books, photo albums,
memory books, even diaries. Heck that just a few thing you can
use them for. Come in and take a look at them, they are gorgeous!
My step daughter was in South America last summer and told us
about a custom the children and most of the adults have.
Worry Dolls. In Guatemala, according to legend, you tell
one worry to each doll when you go to bed at night, then place
them under you pillow. In the morning the dolls have taken
on their worries away. The neat thing is you can re-use
the dolls. They are roughly one inch tall and
"dressed" in traditional clothing. We have them
in sacks and boxes. They run $ 4.95. A fun gift and
great to have for yourself.
Anchors away! Sailors, at least the one who actually
use a sail boat often fashion knotted bracelets out of the think
rope on their boats. It help them practice their knot
tying skills and frankly then look darm sharp. They also
take hours to make so they look right. Welll, we found a
great imported white woven rope bracelet for under $5.00 and it
looks fantastic on! You have to stop in and try one on,
especially if your heading toward the water around here. Spiffy!
Sarongs! Lots of Sarongs! Just in time for summer we
have re-stocked our sarongs with carry bags. They are the
handiest items to have. They can be used as wraps, beach
blankets, seat covers in the car our house, wall hangings, heck
let you imagination go. Pick one or two up just to have
for emergencies. They are still priced under $15.00.

easier with layaways, but we sure do! Pick out all you holiday
needs, and let us put them on a layaway for you
