What influenced you to start this shop?

What are some of the things people are shopping for?

“So right now, anything Christmas,” Ashley said. “All of the ornaments and greenery, our garland and wreaths and things like that are our top sellers. And then of course, anything else that you can need to get your house in the holiday spirit.”

Is there anything you would like to say to the community?

“We just want to say thank you. We really couldn’t be here and stay open without you guys.
