With the beautiful weather we had last week, it feels like spring could be just around the corner.  We know that this may be wishful thinking (we are expected to get between 3-5 inches of snow in Door County today), but even still this is a wonderful time to visit the area.  The sun is shining, the cool breeze off the lake is refreshing, and even with snow on the ground, there are plenty of winter activities to enjoy.  We hope you will be able to get away this month and come visit us in Door County.  If you are not able to make the drive check out our website (it's open 365 days a year)!

Cardinals
Cardinals are one of our most popular birds in the store.  With their beautiful red coats cardinal_perched_trees.jpg it is not hard to see why these birds are so beloved.  Did you know that cardinals are also a symbol of faith and warmth?  Folklore says that having a red cardinal on your Christmas tree will bring you good luck for the upcoming year and who couldn't use a little extra good luck!  This month we have a few new products coming in with these delightful birds, in addition, to the cardinal ornaments we carry. 
This month we will be getting our Christmas Cardinal Caroling Family in! This beautiful family is wearing hunter green outfits and are feeding the birds. Each of the family member's have at least one (if not a few more) cardinals perched on their shoulders or hands. To finish off this lovely scene there is a white bird bath and a new snowy tree, both of which are accompanied with a few cardinals!  
Also in the store now is the new Snow Day Fun Collection. 
This family is ready for some outdoor fun with Dad carrying chopped firewood, the Mother and daughter each have lots of mistletoe in their arms, and the boy is pulling his red sled with an evergreen tree on top.
These two families make wonderful complements to each other and enjoying the outdoors.
Add a little light to your life (or your living room, kitchen, bedroom)
We have received our first shipment of Stony Creek light up spring vases!  To start off, we have a set of vases featuring cardinals sitting in flowers.  We also have lights with different flowers, such as tulips, wild flowers, daisies, and hydrangeas. We also have a collection of vases with hummingbirds and bird houses.  All styles come in a variety of shapes and sizes and make the perfect lighted compliment in any room.  Stop by the store or our website and see the entire line of spring light up vases!    Then in May our winter designs from Stony Creek will be arriving featuring Snowmen and forest animals and other fun designs.

Looking for a good Sale?
When customers shop in our store that often ask, what is upstairs?  Upstairs we keep our floral, garlands, lights, ornament stands, and our Sale room.  While some people are excited to look at the floral and garland, most people venture upstairs to see the sale room.  The Sale Room is filled year round with merchandise that is either left over from previous years or items that may be slightly damaged.  This time of year we find ourselves with a an overflowing sale room as we try to make space for all the new inventory coming in.  For all our spring shoppers, remember to take a look in our Sale Room.  And for those of you who are not able to come by the store, we have set up a new Sale Section on our website (located under Brands).  While we have not put everything from the Sale Room up on the website, we have included older merchandise (that is still in perfect order) that we are looking to move out quickly.

Also, we have decided to continue the 40% off retired Dept 56 houses and accessories as the new 2017 Village will start to arrive at Tannenbaum March 15th!

Tannenbaum's Reading Corner.....Miss Rumphius
This month's book is Miss Rumphius by Barbara Cooney.  This story is about Alice Rumphius and how as a child she dreamed of visiting faraway places and growing old by the sea. In telling her grandfather of these goals, he suggests a third goal of making the world a more beautiful place.  The story goes on to tell how Alice achieves each one of her goals, including making the world a more beautiful place.  In the story, Alice makes the world more beautiful by planting lupines along the countryside so that everyone can enjoy the lovely flowers in the spring.  As spring is approaching, we thought this book is wonderful story about flowers and the beauty of the world around us.  It can also serve as a reminder to all of us that we should do something to make the world a more beautiful place. Maybe that is planting flowers, cleaning up a park, painting an old building, or knitting blankets for those in need.  This book can be a wonderful way to start a conversation with a child on how they too can make the world a more beautiful place!
This book was always a favorite of mine to read to my children and I hope it will become a favorite in your house too.
