Signs that Christmas is coming

- daylight savings starts

- the weather turns hot

- decorations appear in department stores

- parents start asking their children what they want from Santa this year (mostly to put off an immediate purchase request from the child)

- the local bike shop put a "only ... weeks until" countdown in their window

As of today it is 9 weeks until Christmas!

Now for many people the countdown defines the shopping time left, or how long until the annual family holiday can start but for me it defines how many teepee's I can make and ship in time for Christmas.

So if you are planning on a teepee or mushroom cushion as a gift for your children, grandchildren or nieces/nephews this Christmas please let me know or plan a visit to one of the Markets I am attending over the next month or so.
