Spring Starts on March 20th!

Well, hard to believe, but Spring is upon us! From here on out we can expect to see more and more daffodils and tulips peeking out from the cold earth to welcome in this spectacular time of year here in Marion!

In addition to all our books (remember we can special order most any book you wish to add to your collection), The Bookstall has a lot of great items for giving expected to come in in the weeks to come. There is Mother's Day in May, Father's Day in June and yes, graduation's coming as well!

We are expecting Lap Trays the week of April 18th. These are great for a breakfast in bed or snack in front of your favorite movie. Neckties are due in May just in time to plan for Father's Day! If you are planning any summer trips, we have some great Luggage Tags that will make your bag easily identifiable! Other gift ideas needed? We expect theme styled Memory Boards, for example, one is shaped like a sailboat, to put up your favorite pictures or reminders or shopping lists. We will add to our picture frames for those graduates to house the reminder of their very special day. We will also be carrying Botanicus Diffusers, Travel Candles and Fragrance Puff Jars that will help whisk away the musty odors in homes that have been closed up for the winter. If you are interested in planning some summer by the sea parties we will also be carrying cocktail napkins for that special occasion. Need a special gift to take to someone? If you like to take a good bottle of wine, you can "dress it up" with bottle covers-a lighthouse, a captain's uniform, or a beach comber-male or female! We will also have guest books for you to keep track of all those summer visits from friends and family!

As usual, we will have note cards and calendars, Flip Notes, and Note Wallets by Julia Bell.

We are adding to our already extensive collection of cards for just about any occasion. Stop by and stock up so you are ready for that birthday, graduation, anniversary or wedding. We also have blank cards that you can inscribe with your own special sentiments!

Look forward to seeing one and all and remember,

so many books . . . . so little time . . . . MIMI
