*UPDATE*
News of the night, for those who may have shy of the cold evening: We had a good time here at the shop, Dustin and I. After a slow start, we played host to quite a few folks – many of whom were visiting for the first time. Some of the scheduled activities were called off – the outside musicians, for example. No sense in having their talented fingers snap off in the chilly air!
For the shoppers, there were warm interiors to dash into and I heard from several folks who decided they had overdressed for the weather. I was told by several ladies that they were wearing long-underwear, and I’m not sure that conversation has ever been broached in my presence.
Since it wasn’t quite so crowded as last year’s event, it was easier to navigate the store and we were able to find some good homes for a good many books. (The cookies seemed to disappear, too!)
Thanks everyone, for coming out!

Earlier Note
============
Chilly weather. Maybe chili weather, too. Some might call it downright – cold. Heavy-coat night or not, the Holiday Tee Off will offer specials, prizes, and merchant hospitality in the Rose District!
As for the bookshop, it is warm enough inside to make it a plenty comfortable stop, if you care to venture out. November 13th would normally be a little early for me as a date to have a tree inside the premises, but it is standing up near the front door. It’s a special kind of spruce, a Norwegian Nude. You can click on the image and see that it’s pretty bare, for a fact.
We don’t know how it will turn out, turn-out-wise, whether it will be the open-house mad-house it was a couple of years ago, or something a little less due to the need to park and walk. (Main is blocked to traffic until around 9pm.)
The cookies are out for our open house. We’ll see how long they last this year.
Grab your ski-parka and…
Come visit!
