Holiday shopping

Tweet

Historically, I have never been a fan of getting ready for the holiday season too early. Growing up, I would wait eagerly for the Thanksgiving Day parade on TV -- enormous, people-tethered balloons and marching bands became synonymous with the start of the Christmas season. That was early enough.

Many people will probably agree that the "season" seems to be starting earlier and earlier every year and certainly having a company specializing in gift wrap has changed a lot of my actions. Holidays patterns come into the fabric distributor in June and July. Sign-ups for some holiday trunk shows and open houses start in August and September.

Ginger & Company, Toledo

So today, despite being mid-October -- and I'm still wearing flip-flops -- I am pleased to announce that I just got back from Ginger & Company in Toledo where I officially signed up for my first show of the season.

Mark your calendar for their Holiday Open House on Sunday, November 28, 2010, from 2:00 p.m. to 5:00 p.m. at their salon Hess Road near Reynolds and Dorr.

Stay tuned for a complete list of vendors.
