Today we watched the Turkey Trot pass by and admired all those fit souls on this chilly, but glorious sunny day. It was a sight to see so many of you.

We are here and busy preparing for your arrival on Friday and Saturday.  Our shop is becoming a magical place and we love this preparation.  With our lovely music playing and all the lights flickering it’s a good thing at Contessa’s.

Enjoy a wonderful day with your families and friends.

“By Appointment” on Tuesdays

Contessa is in the shop today “by appointment.”  But, don’t let this stop you from coming by. Just knock or call ahead.  We are happy to open the door for you.  The reason we do this “by appointment’ thing on Tuesday, is that we have many projects to work on during the early part of each week. If you want to look around, today is a great day to come by and get ideas for the upcoming holidays.  By the way, once Thanksgiving arrives this year, we have one less week in our shopping season.  42 days until Christmas!IMG_0978
