Friends,

As Christmas draws near, I hope you are able to enjoy the season with family and friends. There's nothing quite like spending time together in a cozy house, with twinkling lights and candles all around...and the scent of something delicious in the oven!

When you step out to buy gifts or prepare for your guests, be sure to stop by MarthaRose. I have jewelry, framed art and much more that will make much-appreciated gifts, including Spartina's line of colorful and sophisticated handbags and accessories. Not sure what to give? I have gift certificates to make your shopping simple!

I have many essentials that are good to keep on hand for hosting dinner or overnight guests: mulling spices and dip mixes, as well as candles, scented soaps and sachets. I also have plenty to make your holiday table splendid, like Vietri's charming Old St. Nick serveware.

Besides the regular store hours, MarthaRose will be open on Sundays from 1-4pm for the next three weeks before Christmas. On Christmas Eve we'll be open from 10am-3pm. Please note our post-Christmas schedule: We will be open Dec 28 and 29 only, from 10am-5:30pm, before closing until Jan. 18.

Best wishes for a delightful Christmas and happy New Year!
Karyl
