Michaels can always be counted on!

 

['Tis the season]

Marks & Spencer first shot. Local Christmas store is the second one. I will get better photos of this store, hopefully in the next week.

So reading story to Harper before I head to work and see this great gem. Sounds like me looking for Christmas in stores in the summer.

Sure enough, Crabtree has just stating to assemble and put up their Christmas decorations!!

In the meantime, here are two photos I snapped at the NC State Fair on Saturday.
They are part of a room-theme display.
(Good to see Christmas recognized at the Fair!)

Fabulous photos from the Fair, Crown. It looks great!

Like everyone else, I am very much looking forward to your annual "Crabtree preparing for Christmas" photos. Tradition makes this Season so special.
