december steals and deals

i've decided on a whim to post a few specials here and there during the month of december.
i thought about an actual o'suz advent calendar of treats for you, but alas 24 treats/posts seems daunting when it is already december 2nd!
these specials are for you, our follower, friend and reader alike. they are not advertised in store so you need to check in on the blog each day to see if there is a special that appeals to you. the specials will be posted one day in advance so you can plan to stop in to o'suz the next day if something catches your eye. this is, after all, a time for giving and this is our gift to you!

the first special will be on orla kiely enamel planters, garden tool and thermos. for tomorrow only (dec 3rd) they will be 40% off! remember you have from 10-6 to get these lovelies with these savings. you may call and purchase over the phone if that is easier and arrange to pick your bag up later. either way, this a steal for these coveted goods.

                                                     perhaps we will see you tomorrow!

back in the summer local photographer amy benoit took some great photographs of the store, and we've been delinquent at showing you the results. we love the little details and vignettes that amy captured through the lens. here are a few of our favorites!

 

lastly, an important message for the holiday season:

 

 thanks, amy, for creating beautiful images of o'suz!

Thanksgiving

The year has turned its circle,

The seasons come and go.

The harvest is all gathered in

And chilly north winds blow.

Orchards have shared their treasures,

The fields their yellow grain.

So open wide the doorway,

Thanksgiving comes again!

enjoy your family and friends.

we will be bright eyed and bushy tailed come friday morn!

a little holiday pop-up shop...

you might recall that a few posts back, we were looking for a tenant/neighbor to occupy the space beside us on 4th street. well, we thought you might like to meet our new neighbor. it seems we're a perfect ft for one another. .....

has decided to create a holiday pop up shop. it's quite perfect actually as we are brimming with holiday delights and space to show it off is at a premium. we plan to open our festive shop and reveal our christmas swag during a special evening event on thursday, november 8. the 110 space will reopen as a little holiday wonderland and will stay open through the season!* here are the details:

thursday, november 8

5:00 - 7:00 p.m.

(enter through the usual door at 114 4th street)

oh, and as a little treat for you, we are taking 15% off your total purchase during those two hours only! woohoo! this is a perfect chance to stock up for all those november/december birthdays and the holidays! we can't wait to see you there!

* 110 4th street n.e. is still for lease, so if you know someone...get in touch!
** please note that this event will not include any 2-4-1 or sale merchandise. we had our mega-crazy sale in august, so we're really focusing on showing off lots of new holiday goodies and getting festive with it!
