SHIFTING GEARS

Greetings!

The Season of Christmas is upon us!  The new stock, which has been arriving almost daily for the past 8 weeks,  has been unpacked and placed upon the shelves.  The store is beautifully decorated for Christmas, the sounds of Christmas  music is playing throughout the store, and best of all the Christmas "lookers" and "shoppers" have arrived!  We (the staff)  have officially shifted gears, and gone into over-drive.

Every now and then, there is a pause in between what I would call  the "bus has just stopped out front" and the store being quiet.  During the pause, there is always something to catch up on, such as straightening the linens, some quick dusting or perhaps answering a phone call or two.  Suddenly,  the  front door opens, and the next bus load of people arrive.  Meaning,  it seems that a group of people  congregate and come in all at the same time....leaving us, rapidly shifting from neutral gear into over-drive.   We've often thought it is rather  interesting as to why or how it happens  this way! 

Just as a reminder, that this coming Saturday on Nov. 26th between 11 a.m. - 3 p.m. there is a FREE Henckel knife sharpening at the store.  Bring your knives in for a professional sharpening done by the Henckel representative and while you're at Graham's,  be sure to enter the $500 Graham's Gifts Shopping Spree!  Draw is to be held on Dec. 17th, so get your entry in while you can!

We're shifting gears and joyfully await your arrival! 

Bye for now,
Erica
