I know what you’re thinking. We were in Annapolis in April. What in the world were we doing in a Christmas shop? Come on, we’ve got the Christmas spirit all year round. Well, that, and I’m nutty about snowmen ornaments and my friend loves her butterfly ornaments, so we went in to take a peak.
This is the store that never ends! From the street, it’s green awning and storefront window doesn’t reveal the maze of rooms and the amount of merchandise that they have! There’s a back room, a hallway, and three rooms upstairs filled with decorations – in just about any theme you could want. There are ornaments patriotic (it’s a Navy town), naval (it’s a Navy town), local sports-teams oriented (Orioles, Redskins, Ravens), Hawaiian-themed, pet-themed, snowman themed (yea for me!) and yes, even butterfly themed. We even found an Irish ornament tree, which also excited my Murphy-named friend. J
My purchase of the day was a beautiful red and white snowman tree skirt (I bought a fake tree after the last Christmas, because my lovely county banned real trees in condos and townhomes. Ugh) for a mere $34. Let me just say that in my quest for such an item in the after-Christmas sales, the ones I liked just a little were still running near $100. This one was perfect AND inexpensive. My friend bought out the butterfly ornaments – she got about 10, and paid $26.
It was a fun store – and we saw a surprise – there’s a Halloween room for those so inclined.
I highly recommend popping in while you’re roaming the streets of Annapolis.
