Happy St Paddy's Day!
This picture is from a display at Victorian Trading Company's outlet store in KC, KS.
They have all the holidays covered there, year round.
If you ever need a Santa fix about mid summer, this is the place to go. Of course, you can always wait a couple days and most stores will be hawking their Christmas goods about then….
But year round Halloween is harder to come by. They have lots of it here!
As well as stock up goods, like apothecary jars.
And pretty things, just to treat yourself.
It is my number one favorite place to buy a new coat. And many of my clothes are from the clearance rack here.
You never know what will be in stock, but I've discovered that if there aren't many clothes to look through that day, there might be a whole, huge selection of some other things that I had no idea I needed, but fell in love with when I saw them.
There is always free hot tea, sometimes with cookies. I keep thinking I'll try the different flavors, but each time, I have a cup of maple tea.
The catalog is something I've drooled over for years, before discovering that the one and only outlet store is right here in my area.
It is a very unassuming place, in a warehouse district.
Much more exciting on the inside than what you'd think from the outside!
The manager has offered a special gift, of this pretty, soy candle to all the Birdsong Peeps in town for our party June 5-6th. And a nice discount coupon too! How generous of her.
Last year, many of the ladies stopped by to shop, so I thought I'd ask if the store would like to do something for them this year. And Diane, the manager, was happy to help out. She even remembered some of the ladies by name and is looking forward to seeing them again.

Deb Mitchell, a friendly blog reader has sent a package of birdie charms for the tweet bags. It's my first package to arrive for the event and I was so excited to open it. Over the years, the BEST stuff has come in the mail for our Peeps to share. And it gets to be like Christmas as the packages start rolling in! Thanks Deb!

Can’t believe I’ve been there twice and have missed Victorian Trading both times. I used to drool over their catalogs, and the store looks even more wonderful. Maybe next year!
The clothes are my favorite part of the store. Really nice!
Oh that candle would be worth a trip to the store! Lovely!
That candle is beautiful!
