It's Beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

The weather outside is cold, it hasn't yet snowed this season and Christmas is a little over a month away! And we're ready for it anyway!

Sarah B. is continually in transition...



The lights are up, the trees are decorated and more new things continue to roll in!

Some of our newest highlights include:

Candles and diffusers from Aquiesse... not only are they made in the US, but they are wonderful scents that smell great as a combination. I want one of each! The products include:
  • diffusers
  • small and large soy candles
  • french jar candles
  • votives and travel tins




Our newest Bobo Wrapping Scarves have arrived! They are made in the US, are eco-friendly because they eliminate waste since they can be reused and they joined the Madison News local during a Dane Buy Local segment...

Before we made it look all nice and pretty, you can still see the beauty of the wraps in the box.



The beauty on display!

 
New Stationery from Cheree Berry:

 



New stationery from St. Augustine's:





And last, but not least, we recently got in these REALLY COOL (!) totes. They are made of recycled newspapers and magazines and are cut, laminated and sewn into a tote. Since they're laminated, you can spill anything you like in or on your bag and not have to worry. And best of all, they're made in the US!!!

We hope you enjoy some of these great holiday offerings. Happy Thanksgiving! And shop your hearts out on Black Friday!

On Change

There are some changes in life that our culture embraces. A new marriage, new baby, new home. We welcome, no celebrate these changes in our life. They are joyous events that mark a special event in our lives.

There are other changes in life that we avoid or dread, such as an illness or loss, anticipated or not.

Then there are the changes that could go either way. A new job might be forced or highly sought after, but it may bring a new location, a new paycheck, new friends. Some might be welcomed; some might be dreaded or bitter-sweet.

Our President campaigned on “Change we can believe in.” I’m still waiting, hoping, but ‘believing’ is beginning to fade. Some change we really need as a society.

One change that happens, whether we like it or not in Wisconsin, is the change in seasons. I love the transition from winter to spring, to summer and fall, my most favorite season! Think sweatshirts, fall leaves, football and Halloween! But were it not for Christmas, I could do without winter. Give me the first snowfall of the year, and let’s just fast-forward to spring!

At Sarah B. Fine Stationery, we LOVE the changes in season! We get to bring out fresh, new designs and fun decorations for the upcoming holidays! Yes, you could say our store is ‘beginning to look a lot like….’ well, you know!

Peruse the pictures on website, sarahbstationery.com and come browse in our store. Perhaps you, too, will embrace the change!
