BaysideChristmas

I love Christmas. I love everything about it...the generous nature that it brings out in folks, the festive cheer that comes from tons of sparkling lights, music, and sweet decorations, and last (but certainly not least) of all: finding that perfect gift for those “someone specials” in your life. The one that makes their eyes light up when they open the box. The one that you know will be cherished and used for years to come, not just sat up on a shelf to gather dust and be forgotten. The one that will be brought out, year after year, and bring the memory back just as fresh as if it were yesterday.

Looking back, most of the gifts that hold those treasured places in my heart commemorate a special life event or categorize a year. The birth of a child...a baby’s first Christmas or a “big sister” or “big brother” having that first Christmas with their new sibling(s)...the way your child's eyes light up when they receive that letter from Santa that is personalized just for their special memories, good behaviors, and achievements for that year...knowing that they are without a doubt on the Nice List this year...sprinkling Magic Reindeer food so that they will be sure to pinpoint your house...hanging the Magic Key out for Santa (if you have no fireplace for him to slide down)...that year that your kid played trombone in an award-winning school band or played football or cheered for a team that took state...a favorite family pet (one that provides the family with daily joy, or one that has only fond memories to recall)...a precious person that is holding us a spot in Heaven until we get there... The list goes on and on, and the occasions are many, but the individual gift brings with it a personal and special remembrance of “that time.”

Those are the gifts we strive to give, and the gifts that we love to receive. In that spirit, I decided to open a little shop that would achieve just that: the memory. I want to make that cozy feeling a part of other folk’s lives, because it is one of the things that I love most. A tangible item that can be held in the hand, yet invoke the intangible gift of a special moment, milestone, or occasion. I believe those are the best gifts a person could give a loved one, and I would love to be a part of your special memories and milestones.

My name is Kelly, and I and my family have recently moved near the ocean and are living our best life! I’ve started this small business based out of my home in a cozy coastal Alabama town that is rich with tradition and believes in the ideal of buying local (a lost art sometimes in this day and age). It is a great place to start making wonderful new memories...and in that realm I give special attention to each and every order because it encompasses all that I have just written and believe in. Give the gift that never stops giving, and allow me to assist you, won’t you?

Merry Christmas all year ‘round,
Kelly
