Purchasing for a retail shop is always a daunting task as one is asked to anticipate a buyer’s wishes long before the buyer wishes! We made the decision in July that we wanted Dovecote’s holiday message to be a quiet, simple one...carefully selected ornaments that would stand alone as a special thank you to a hostess or become a cherished heirloom for a family member or special friend when paired with a handwritten note. I have found when I have less to spend, I spend more thoughtfully...which to me is the silver lining of this retail holiday season. It has given me much joy to watch the thoughtful deliberation and consideration of our shoppers this season as they are making their selections. And “quiet and simple” seems to have struck a lovely chord.
We invite you to spend an afternoon with us this season. And bring your list...we promise to help you fill it with comfort and much joy!
