I will be closing the doors to the shop beginning September 15th through October 15th. What does this mean to our friends and clients? Really nothing. You can continue to shop and make orders, however nothing will be shipped until October 16th. At that time, I will begin filling your holiday gift list! Do you have a question? Please email me at tduvall@softlinedesign. Brenda and I will check the email frequently to stay in touch with you.

I am very excited to see what the next month will bring and I keep thinking what the Grandmother said in the movie Parenthood. Gil (Steve Martin) has been complaining about his complicated life. Grandma wanders into the room and begins talking about the time when she was 19 and Grandpa took her on a roller coaster ride. She further describes the up and down of the roller coaster and how she felt: frightened, scared, so sick, excited and thrilled all together! Then Grandma remarked some didn’t like it. They went on the merry-go-round. That just goes around. Nothing. Continuing, Grandma summed up “I like the roller coaster. You get more out of it.” Thank you all. Be Safe.
