Denny and Fran to Kansas City

Denny and I will be off to Kansas City this weekend to buy for the fall catalog we send out in Nov. Looking forward to some new and fun things. We'll visit with several hundred other independent store owners and will take lots of notes on items that are doing well in their stores across the country. We found the Poopourri that has the cutest saying. "Spray before you go, and no-one will ever no" that one of the stores is selling like gang busters. And it really works!!! Denny can't wait to dig into the great BBQ too. Will take a picture.
See ya next week.

Remember Mother's Day is this Sunday!!

Don't forget about mom! Griffins has a great selection of gifts for mom! Willow Tree figures are a great gift for any mom.

We have a great selection to choose from. Also, what mom doesn't like Yankee Candles? Another great idea is to find a floral arrangement, no not some "fresh" flowers that are going to wither away in a few days, I'm thinking of some "permanent" flowers, just like your love for mom! We have several arrangements already made up for you to chose from, or our designers can help you create one that has your own personal taste.

Still not sure what to get mom? Get her a Griffins Gift Certificate, right now we are selling Mother's Day gift certificates at 20% off the face value. You can buy mom a $100 gift certificate and pay only $80. Mom will appreciate the gift, you'll appreciate the savings.
