have a great weekend!

Cecil and I hope you have a great weekend. And if you need reading materials the pickle just received four new magazines from Stampington that are filled with amazing ideas.

it's time to take time

Recently Crane & Co sent me a poster that is entitled "it's time to take time".
It's true don't you agree. Often times we are so busy being busy that we completely miss the "point". Let the coming week be the week you sit down and write just a little note to someone who has made a difference in your life and thank them. 'Cause it's time to take time!

The 3/50 Project

The 350 project may be a bit "old news" to you but just in case I would like to introduce it to you.
It is the brilliant idea of Cinda Baxter and I have been promoting it for sometime. It's a great idea and so important to all of us little independent businesses. Wont you please take a look?

Summer is here and quickly moving - in fact tomorrow is the birthday of our United States of America! Happy Birthday USA! There is so much to do so better get movin'. And I think FUN should be at the top of your list. If you have children please encourage them to be creative and at least active in some form. The pickle has lots sketch books with wonderful colored pencils to help along with darling stationery with the young in mind. Help your child write a letter to a grandparent or aunt, cousin or a friend and I promise you'll both be happy you did.

I'm here to do the "write" thing.

Cherries in the Wenatchee Valley

Over the weekend my husband and I visited my brother's cherrie orchard and OH MY are the cherries beautiful this year.

Another event last week was my birthday. And I did have cake along with glorious chocolate chip cookies Marnye sent via mail. I'm not sure where she found the recipe but she makes the best choc chip cookies I have ever eaten! You know birthdays are a blessing - don't forget!

Retail Business of the Year!

Retail Business of the Year! Pickle Papers was awarded the honor recently and I am humbled and proud all at the same time! The response from the loyal pickle people has been sweet. Thnaks!

ABC'S

I love the alphabet and the look of the latest window display at the pickle is one of my favorite. Who could not love the alphabet? Straight lines, curved lines, circles and ovals all just waiting to form a wonderful letter. Pickle Papers has metal letters, alphabet tags and the several alphabet papers for gift wrapping or whatever you choose.
