Fresh Starts

Once again, a Happy New Year to you all.  Are you off to a good start?  I am.  We celebrated Hogmanay, {the Scottish celebration of the last day of the year} in Michigan with a lively group, and feasted as the Italians do.  Lasagna, meatballs and all the trimmings.  We skipped the traditional fireballs they set alight in Edinburgh, and settled for some roaring logs in the fireplace instead.

A quiet day of "recovery" followed.  The good old puzzles came out, a few board games and several rounds of cards...We took the dogs for a long country walk and popped over to Mr. and Mrs. V's to watch the Rose Bowl.  (They are most excellent hosts, as they never run out of limes for the vodka, nor vodka for the limes.)  The question of New Year's resolutions came up, and mine is: out with the old, in with the new.  That's what's fun and fresh about a new year.  Time to mix things up a bit...

To that end, let me give you a bit of advance notice that the Clever Girl Winter sale begins this Tuesday, January 10th.  Enjoy savings of 25%-75% off selected clothing, accessories, and home goods.  (And hooray, no huge snowstorms to keep you trapped at home; you've no excuse not to make it in...)

A Little Christmas Poem...

'Twas only days before Christmas, and still at your house

online orders had failed you, with the click of  the mouse.

The "adorable" knit socks are hideous to behold, 

and the gourmet fruitcake looks like it has a greenish mold.

That blouse that you ordered is not such a delight, 

and the so-called "handmade" earrings are really quite a fright.

The purse is the wrong color, and no one seems to care,

customer service doesn't exist, so don't even go there. 

Such are the perils of Holiday ordering online,

whereas in person, it's right every time!

So in case the internet has failed you, and your deliveries have gone astray, 

let us now remind you that Clever Girl can still save the day!

Still a Little Time

Fear not, Clever Girls--there is still time to make your list, and check it twice!  Our elves are standing by to help you find wonderful gifts, and wrap them all up in pretty pink ribbons and bows.  Purses, sweaters, jewelry, scarves, mittens, candles  are ready to nestle under the tree. We have great things for the stockings, too.   Avoid the madness of the mall, and "wrap" it all up right here in town...
