All thru September, October and on, a Countryside Elf is busy creating a visual story of Christmas for all to enjoy.

From the rafters to the floors, windows to doors, every empty space is adorned and embellished with charm. I ask the elf, "How do you do it? How do you know where to start and what to do next?" She replies, "30 years of experience but that's not all. I look at each ornament, figurine, ribbon and silk, they all tell a story of where they should go. They all want to be the star of the show. So I do my best to create a flow from the time you walk thru the doors until the time you go. Let me take you on a journey from whimsical to woodsy, elegant high-style to traditional, white to red, to platinum and gold with hopes of sparking fond memories or decorating ideas for your home. It all comes together and I believe it's called, the 'Countryside Feeling' and I love sharing it with you all."

Jodee Kopfer, Visual Merchandiser, and one of our favorite Elves this time of year!  You will find her in the Garden Center primping and accenting, or as she calls it, "Christmatizing" everyday merchandise as well as all the beautiful Holiday items the buyers brought in this year. "I wouldn't have as much fun doing what I do if people didn't love it so much!" says Jodee.

Stop in and experience the "Countryside Feeling and see Jodee for "Christmatizing" ideas for your home.
