~Inclement weather reminder ~

With snow in the air here in Colorado, I thought that I would let you know that if we DO get a lot snow or ice, I might not be able to get to the store.

We live a ways from the main roads that get plowed, and sometimes it’s just too treacherous for me to drive. I live a ways from the store and my weather might be a lot different than the weather in town. I always try to make it in, but there are those days that the roads are just not safe for me to drive that distance.

If the weather is ‘iffy’ feel free to call the store to see if I am open before you make a trip out. The number at the store is 303-665-1767, and if I don't answer, please leave me a message as I may be with a customer and unable to answer. I will return your call if I am in the store.

Thanks for your understanding.

As always our on-line Store ~ The Speckled Goose is open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

~ Colorado Weather ~

Believe it or not, we are in the middle of a winter storm. Winter already? Well the calendar says that it is fall, but looking out the door you wouldn't believe it.

We had approximately a foot of snow at the store yesterday (at least it felt like it when I shoveled). I shoveled the parking lot and sidewalks at least 3 times, and it was still snowing when I left at 5 pm.

I don't know how much snow is at the store today as I am sitting in the house and didn't try to brave these roads. They are snow packed and icy. Several of the highways and freeways in our area are closed due to the weather conditions.

Today is a school snow day. John is outside playing in the snow (good thing he bought snowpants and a jacket with his Christmas gift cards). It is fun to watch from inside the house where is it a little more toasty.

Stay safe and warm.

~ What's new this week ~

I sure don't know where the time goes, but I have been busy creating, and creating more. I have made a few Reindeer Ornaments, and have a few more to finish up. They are so cute.

I have also made a few new signs, and working on more. Two are ready for new homes, and the rest will be ready this next week.

I am also in the process of making more tea bags with a holiday theme, and I'll be working on some hot chocolate bags with a holiday / winter theme. They are great stocking stuffers, or gifts for co-workers.

I am also working on re-doing a pair of end tables, but I need to get some different paint so that I can finish them. Will they be finished this next week? probably not, but as soon as their are done, I'll post pics.

I'll have to post pics the first of the week. I ran out of time this week and didn't get any pics taken. Hopefully Monday or Tuesday I can get them posted.

School is in full force

John has been back to school for a few weeks now. We're starting to get into the swing of things again, getting up early, dinner, homework, bath and then off to bed. He is bringing home about an hour of homework to complete each night.

John also hae been playing football, and dad is coaching. That is taking a lot of time on both of their parts, but they are having a great time. Their first game was this past Saturday and they won 40 - 19. Not too bad for their first game of the season.

I will be checking out the best day to close the shoppe and watch one of their games. When I get that figured out I'll let everyone know what Saturday I'll be closed. I'll give you at least a couple of weeks notice.

What I am working on this week.

I have so many things going on the last several days, it is hard to know where to start. The weather has been beautiful in Colorado, and I am getting lots done.

I added items to my website, and my etsy store. Yes, I know that it is about time. I added a link on the sidebar of the newest items listed on Etsy. Jump on over and take a look.

I have several new items in the store including new primitive sheep, cows, pigs, roosters, pumpkins, old cookbooks, a couple more black cats, tart warmers, and so much mroe that I can't remember. I am in the process of getting new pictures, and will get them posted real soon.
