I like traditions. rituals. time honoured practices to order our days.
today is Thanksgiving Day in the US. I like the idea of that - a day set aside to give thanks.
there's generally not enough of that, don't you think?
so for this Thanksgiving weekend, Friday through Monday, free shipping is offered on our noël garlands and carte postale series.
(that's right, get your money for nothin' and your ships for free.)
so thanks.
