Something New In The Air

I can feel it.  There is something different in the air and it happens just about this time for the last 25 years.

What is it, you ask?  It is 4th QUARTER.  And that means we are gearing up for the most active, the most fun, the most exciting and interesting time of the year.  Our aisles in the store get smaller and smaller as we incorporate more merchandise and candy.

We see more people, we work with more customers to produce gift baskets, special orders, new combinations which we are challenged to create.  We make wishes come true and in the process probably gain a few pounds tasting new candies and chocolates.

Ah, it is sort of like believing we can fly with Peter Pan....we just take off and enjoy the journey.

In my last blog, I spoke about a new line of scarves which we were preparing to place in the store.  Today was the day we put out 18 individually made, one of a kind knitted scarves by our friend, Eva Unterman.  What seems to be happening at Sweet Tooth is that we are growing our local artists group and Eva is the latest to join us.

She has put so much thought, so much time and effort into each scarf and we are jazzed about each one.  Come take a look.

On Saturday, October 8 we are presenting a number of local artists in a Stop and Chat with Julie Buchheim (Ionic jewelry), Angie Layton (sterling silver charms featuring Oklahoma icons), Jamie Townsend (her book on the Brady Theatre), Hat & Field (our new line of collegiate and Oklahoma t-shirts), Bobbie Whaling (her 2016 ornament featuring a location here in Tulsa) and Eva Unterman (one of a kind scarves).

It is so satisfying to support and highlight some of the artists right here in our own city.  Although we love going to the Gift Market, our own backyard is filled with very special artistic people.

Beyond that, our November project is Ho Ho Harvard.  We are partnering with other retailers right here on Harvard Avenue and throwing a really big Holiday Party.  We can't wait to reveal all the details, but think:  Toni's Flowers, Kiddlestix, Summer Snow, Sweet Tooth and Inviting Place, together on Sunday November 13.

SAVE THE DATES:  October 8 and November 13 and celebrate local artists, holiday fun and the latest "strip"...Harvard Avenue.
