There's No Place Like Home Especially When You Are There


Have you ever noticed just how many sayings there are about home? There's no place like home~ Home is where the heart is~ Home is the starting place for love and dreams~ Home is not a place it's a feeling~ Home is wherever I am with you~ Home sweet home!

By now most of you have heard we are leaving our Sherwood location at North Hills Blvd. and Country Club. You've heard that it is because the seasonal nature of our business will not support the high overhead during the fall and winter months. You also know we are returning to our original location in the Old Farmer's Market on East McCain in North Little Rock. As a matter of fact, the store over there is open now.

The decision to go home was probably one of the hardest we've ever made. We have loved being a part of the Sherwood community and getting to know our new customers on a personal level. We had so many dreams and goals for the big store, but at every turn we encountered road blocks. Add to that bad weather, rising prices, and a tight economy, and well, you get the picture.

As summer turned to fall and we entered into serious contemplation and prayer for the future of our now 36 year old business things just seemed to fall into place; up to and including the new owners of the old property renovating the building as we had imagined so many years ago. Funny, they never even talked to us about what we wanted...it just happened. The rent, the utilities, the cost of keeping the store stocked would be cut in half...And we would once again be next door to BJ's Market Cafe.  It was just the nudge...just the sign...just the opened door...just the opportunity we needed and the decision was made... It's time to go home.

Our anxiety has turned to excitement with each and every promise of continued patronage. We can not thank our customers enough. You are truly part of our family, you are why we do what we do, and you allow us to do what we love.  We will forever be grateful!

Thanks for following us home!
