Getting Ready for Christmas

Busy busy busy! The shop is currently loaded with boxes full of stuff to get unpacked, priced and displayed for the Christmas Walk. Got clock "Geek Sculptures" to finish, more Smelly Jelly's to make, more cleaning to do, schedules to write, signs to paint........

Hanging Christmas decorations on the outside of the building ranks right down there with accounting for my favorite things to do with this business. But its a necessary thing, and now complete with beautiful weather today.

"Geek Sculptures" a Christmas Walk Hit

Steve has been making wonderful clocks from old computer parts for some time now, but his newest additions, such as the one pictured below, have really drawn a lot of attention - and purchases- this year. Clocks are made from whatever old dead computer parts are available and put inside Steve's hand-crafted wood boxes made in his shop from maple, red oak, walnut, cherry, whatever wood is available. His carpentry skills improve with every batch of clocks made.

He calls them "sculptures", not clocks. Over a hundred different clocks are available at the store in Metamora. Each one is different and unique. The addition of colored CD's for clock faces (instead of the previously used all-silver CD's) has made a big improvement in the variety and appeal of the display.

We are hoping to come up with a system that allows us to post photos of each individual clock and make them available for purchase on this blog, but for the time being, you'll have to visit the store in Metamora or the All Occasions Gift Shop website to purchase.

Tastiest Popcorn

We've found the best tasting popcorn we've ever tasted. At our store in Metamora, customers have been going crazy buying the stuff! Click here to find gourmet, hull-less delicious popcorn to make on your stove at home! Wonderful popcorn!

Ideas not a short suit

Coming up with new ideas for products is never a problem! The problem only comes up in gettins some past ideas implemented before trying some new ones. This drawing will be the basis of a new "certificate" product to sell on the web or in the store.

Head Stinker Rules!

"Beware of the Head Stinker" very cute!

In reality, one shoule follow that logic. As the Head Stinker I rule. Yes, no mater what you think I am always the ruler of this smelly kingdom.

Today as we drove to work it was snowing. The snowflakes were the size of pancakes! Yes, it was like driving through a giant pancake storm. Now Steve will say I exzagerate a little but those snowflakes really were the size of pancakes.

Once again I wooped your butt in Acy Ducey. Why you ask? Because I am the Head Stinker and I rule!
