Happy New Year!

Happy New Year, everyone!!

Hope you all did lots of visiting and relaxing and are now ready to attack the new year. I had a really, really great holiday season. I spent the last week at my parents' house near Ottawa, so there was lots of family time and visiting and catching up and dog-walking through the fields. There was also A LOT of sleeping and eating cookies and chocolates and huge dinners. It was wonderful!

Now I can't honestly say that my New Year's Eve was very eventful - my sister and I spent the day driving back to Hamilton from Ottawa, bought some much-needed groceries and then made dinner and watched movies. I'm sad to report that neither one of us lasted until midnight. Whoops! But the sleeping was just SO good, we couldn't help it!

I'm not sure if most people have taken down their tree by now, but I love mine so much I try to leave it up until the last minute. Which I think will be this Sunday. But if you still have some packing up of holiday decor to do, WAIT!...

Relish is having a sale right now of all the beautiful holiday decor that is still in stock, so you can pack it away for a great surprise next year! That's right, all holiday decor is on sale!!!

There are lots of lovely things left - vintage ornaments, plate sets, vintage holiday glassware, handmade garlands, and cards and gift tags.

So get in here to Relish, quick!

Holiday Open House!

The one consolation about the arrival of this cold weather is that the Holidays are coming! And lucky for you, the shops along James North are having a Holiday Open House on Friday November 25th and Saturday November 26th. This includes Relish, Mixed Media, Chaises Musicales, La Petite Spa, Humble Pie, White Elephant, i Fiori and Hawk & Sparrow.

This map shows you exactly where these shops are so you can't miss us!

Relish will be open from 11am-9pm on Friday and from 11am-6pm on Saturday, and everything in the store will be 15% off!!! 

I'll have yummy snacks on hand, and holiday tunes on the radio, so come by for a visit and a little early gift shopping. Hope to see you here!

Now, I have to admit I'm one of those people who adores the Holiday season and actually does not ever get sick of hearing Christmas music. But what's not to love? An excuse to bake all kinds of treats, drink eggnog, and eat way more chocolate and cookies than are ever good for you. Not to mention a few days off to hibernate with family and friends and just enjoy spending some quality time together. Preferably involving chocolate.  :-)
