Ollin Arm Candy

2012-02-01T09:30:00.002-06:00

Ollin Arm Candy

Ollin Arm Candy is here! These fashionable bags are made entirely from recycled materials. Each bag is handmade by one craftsman by folding and weaving anywhere from 150 to 4000 candy and gum wrappers and can take up to 4 days to create. With Ollin Arm Candy you are truly purchasing a one of a kind piece. All their bags are produced under Fair Trade and Sweatshop free practices in Mexico. While the bags are indeed made from candy wrappers they stand the test of time and weather.

Ollin Arm Candy has been featured in American Baby, Cosmo Girl, Country Home, Country Living, Elle, Girl’s Life, Life & Style and OK! magazines, as well as in The New York Post and USA Today. It has also been covered in a story on The Today Show and was seen on an episode of TV’s Gossip Girl.

Sorry!

2012-01-24T07:14:00.002-06:00

If any of you stopped by yesterday I am sorry we were closed. I was out of town, the scheduled employee was sick, and no one else was available to work. We are rarely closed but things happen, so I hope you understand. The up side to this is that I was returning from a buying trip in Dallas. We’ll have a lot of great new gift merchandise arriving in the next few weeks and will keep you posted as things start coming in.

Small Business Saturday

2011-11-25T17:04:00.001-06:00

Small Business Saturday is tomorrow! Come shop with us to support small businesses and your local economy. Did you know that for every $100 spent at a local small business, $68 returns to the community? You can make a big impact by shopping small!

No Black Friday

2011-11-24T21:33:00.003-06:00

NO BLACK FRIDAY HERE. No sales announcement. No asking employees to report to work at midnight. No dancing reindeer here. Oh, yes, we will be open on Friday for those of you that want to shop or browse, as will many of the other shops. But let’s face it; we small guys just can’t compete with the big-box stores and chains on quantity and prices. However, what we can offer is a unique slower-paced, more relaxing shopping experience. No camping out overnight. No waiting in line. No pushing and shoving. You’ll be waited on by a clerk that you more than likely know. So sleep in on Black Friday. Have a nice relaxing breakfast at home with your family or at one of our local restaurants. When you get around to coming downtown, we’ll be open and ready to welcome you.

Spellbinders Flip Catalog

2011-09-13T12:45:00.002-05:00

We have added a new flip catalog to the "Store Photos" page of our website. This one is primarily for Spellbinders dies - all 319 of them! It is impossible for us to stock all of these items, but we will be happy to order them for you. Turnaround time is fast, too; usually within a few days for in-stock items. You can also view the catalog at the link below.

We're still here...

2011-09-13T12:44:00.000-05:00

...just needed a vacation break! I have been working extra hours trying to stock everything that came in while I was gone. We have a couple of new Halloween items, are re-stocked with Sally Jean jewelry and Lolita wine glasses, an order from Kurtz Designs came in with several plaques and a new style of cross, and the Christmas Dancing Glass candles from WoodWick are now in - in Twinkling Mint Cocoa, Twinkling Pine, and Twinkling Spice.

More stamp orders arrived today - Lockhart Stamp Company and Memory Box. The Lockhart order has the latest designs from Karen, mostly Halloween and Thanksgiving.

Stop in and check out all of the fun new things!

Last call for "The Studio"!

2011-08-28T21:18:00.000-05:00

There is only one week left to order from "The Studio by Danielson Designs". Orders will be accepted through September 4th. We are sorry to see it go as it is one of our most popular gift items, but it is beyond our control. Thanks again to all of you that have supported "The Studio" program here for almost two years. Here is a public link to our "Studio" photo album on Facebook where you can see some samples of what can be created with this program:

Halloween

2011-08-24T22:05:00.000-05:00

Our Halloween window display was completed today...and, no, it's not too early! Do you realize how close Halloween actually is? Don't be fooled by this heat. My favorite holiday is just a few weeks away...time to get going on those spooky cards and other projects!

Viva Las Vegastamps

2011-08-24T22:01:00.000-05:00

We received another order from Viva Las Vegastamps today. There were a dozen or so of their new stamps on our last order and they sold out as soon as they hit the shelves. We are restocked now!

Impression Obsession

2011-08-22T15:11:00.002-05:00

A large order came in today from Impression Obsession. They have some great new stamps for Fall, Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas. It's not too early to start thinking about those holiday cards! There are also some new coffee-themed stamps and even more Cover-a-Card backgrounds.

Lots of new arrivals today!

2011-08-17T22:12:00.004-05:00

We got something for everyone in the nine boxes delivered today! For stampers we received the Autumn issue of Take Ten, a stamp order from Whipper Snapper, and ribbon from May Arts - solid wrinkled, sheer dots, sheer iridescent stripes, and small checked - in lots of wonderful colors. Our Christmas order of Lolita and Santa Barbara wine glasses and ornaments came in today as well.

Lolita Christmas

And not to forget the Fall season...our "Dancing Glass" candles from WoodWick arrived today in Autumn Wonders, Golden Apple, Pumpkin Gingerbread, Jack-o-Lantern, and Spooky Nights fragrances. We also received a cute new "Trilogy" candle called "Trick or Treat" that has three bands of color, just like candy corn! We would also like to introduce "Meadowbrooke Gourds". Each gourd has been hand-crafted from a raw hard shell gourd, using the highest quality products available. You'll never have to carve a pumpkin again!

Studio Program Closing

2011-08-08T17:21:00.001-05:00

We’re sorry to notify you that the online program “The Studio” will be phasing out at the end of this month. The Danielson Designs brand has been acquired by another family-owned company. They will continue to design and craft the DD line right here in the USA. But while the new owners will become the source for the great DD product you’ve enjoyed in the past, and much more in years to come, they will not be supporting the Studio® program, which will close September 4. Our Studio website will continue to function as it is through September 4. At that time, the site will be closed. We will also continue taking orders here at the store through that date.

Please note that this is our “Studio” web site only. Our store is not going out of business and you will still be able to access our main web site.

Lockhart Classes - Thank You!

Thanks to Karen Lockhart for teaching her colored pencil technique here last Sunday! Everyone had a wonderful time. Thanks, too, to my staff, Pauline Happel, Millie Rapp, and Vickie Kertz, for taking over during my unexpected absence. You guys were great!
