I thought I would start out this Blog with a photo. A Place in Time is filled to overflowing with great moments. This photo is one of them. Jenny's husband just returned from deployment and .... well, the photo speaks for itself. Seeing young couples like Jenny and Jeff always gives me hope for the future.

The photo is also somewhat symbolic as it relates to us, at A Place in Time, this past week. It's been a week since our announcement that we would be "downsizing" the store. Priscilla and I have been overwhelmed by the outpouring of sadness, concern, love, and best wishes by all of you that came to visit. The store, as I see it, is made up of two parts - one, the stuff that lines the shelves and two, the people who have become our friends and extended family. It's the personalities that made this decision so difficult. We are not going to disappear from your lives. Priscilla is already thinking of doing more events and Art and I will still be doing our laser engraving. Stay tuned to the Blog for further updates. We will try and keep our current phone number at the new site for our laser engraving operation.
There is one thing that you can help us with. We need to make all the "stuff" in the store disappear. We would greatly appreciate you notifying your friends and family about the fantastic closing sale we are conducting. To create some additional savings for everyone, Priscilla and I have decided, beginning Sunday (September 2nd) to initiate a 30% sale - and yes, if you have a discount card you can take an additional 10% off. Excluded from the sale are all Memory Box Dies. We are offering all of the pre-made "sample" cards (your choice) at $2.50 each (no discount), All Natural Accent flowers will be 20% off, and anything that is "Seseme Street" will be 50% off.
We, thanks to you all, moved a lot of product in our inventory this past week. But as I look around the store, it seems like only a small dent has been made in that inventory. There are many, many items that are still available for you to take advantage of. Perhaps you can do a little early Christmas shopping.
You may not be aware of it, but many of our store fixtures are for sale also. An Asian Buffet cabinet, bookcases, custom modular shelving, maple desk, wood work table, POS computer system, gridwall, slatwall, display/storage gondolas, etc., etc. Come in and take a look... we may have just the thing to fit your need.
Guess that's it for now.... See you tomorrow
