'Twas the Night Before The Christmas
Open House at Winnie and Tulula's, when all through the store
Not a creature was stirring, not even a Penguin;
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care,
In hopes that St. Nicholas soon would be there;
The vendors had all their wares ready to go,
While visions of spiced eggnog danced in their heads;
And Gloria in her white outfit was ready for the crowd,
Just as she had just settled down for a quick rest,
Charrise ran out of the back room and there arose such a clatter,
that Gloria sprang from her pretty decorated bed to see what was the matter.
Away to the window they flew like a flash
The moon on the breast of the new-fallen snow (could this be true in Texas~oh play along it's just a story)
Gave the lustre of mid-day to objects below (which were customers anxiously waiting to get inside),
When, what to their wondering eyes should appear,
But miniature birds decorated by Peg and John, and eight tiny reindeer displayed by Charrise,
With a little old driver (I hope you don't think I'm referring to anyone at the store), so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick (or Cat Daddy dressed like Santa or Elvis if you'd like).
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and called them by name;
"Now, Debbie! now Donna!, now Theresa!, Peg and Lillie!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all (we have to get ready for opening day)!"
Now don't miss our Christmas Event! We'll be looking for you.

Away to the window they flew like a flash
They tore open the paper that had covered the windows and threw up the sash (to see the crowd that had gathered outside),

On, Ethel! on Liz! on Rhonda, on Margo and Mindy and Daphne and Amy and Liz and Fran and Tina and Donna and Barbara and Pat and Caroline and Kathy and Linda (all the W&T crew)!
To the top of the porch! to the top of the wall!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away all (we have to get ready for opening day)!"

Guest Vendors
Blogged by Mindy
Guest vendors are the icing on the cake. The bacon on the burger. The egg in the nog. They are what makes something good, even better.
The Remembrance of Christmas Open House at Winnie & Tulula's is going to be Oh, So Good. But, what's making it even better are the guest vendors. The Queen Mother of Winnie & Tulula's and The Sweet Pea Collection, Gloria, has outdone herself. She has invited some amazing guest vendors, two couples in fact, to our event this Friday and Saturday. Wait til you see what magic these teams are stirring up. Pixie dust is flying. Doves are in the air. Glitter is, well, glittering.
Linda and Ludmil of Willow Nest have agreed to share their magic with us. Their creative creations will be the talk of the town. I did a word search for "Willow Nest" on flickr. Here are the resulting photos if you would like to peruse. They all, indeed, appear to be our L&L.

Or maybe you know them as French Vanilla. Ooo la la. I saw them when I first walked into the store Sunday, but I had never met them. Didn't know who they were. I kept walking by the window and then, in short order, I saw the birth of beauty. I saw the look of "French Vanilla". I immediately figured out who they were and introduced myself. I searched for them in flickr and had no luck. So, check out this post by Patina Green. They know good when they see it! And TOT with Time-Worn Interiors had this to say about French Vanilla. See? Did you look?
Can you see what all the excitement is about with these guest vendors? Are you convinced it will be worth your drive yet? What more do you need?
