Back and BAD

The ELVES  are back, and they are BAD.  I mean B.A.D. - BAD!  Apparently, last night they bound and tied up Advent Elf.  They used Christmas Lights, twine, and tape.   They look pleased as punch about it too.  Of course they  absconded the Skittles, that Advent Elf had in his pocket for the boys. To think  it is only December 3rd!  Their names are Leland and Grady.  We like to call Grady- "Shady Grady", and that is being kind.  I will keep you posted on our Elves antics.  If you think your child is up for some holiday fun, Firefly is an official post for these crazy elves.  We have letters that kids can use to write Santa, requesting  these mischievous elves, and maybe one will "magically" visit them too.   Will you get a Naughty or Nice Elf?  Well, I guess that is up to you.  I have to say though "Naughty" is a lot of fun. Call for more information- 229-226-6363 

Drizzle, Drizzle

It is definitely a drizzle, drizzle kind of day.  One of my favorite morning rituals involves a little drizzle, drizzle of honey from my locally made ceramic and pewter honey drizzle.  I love functional art that is nature inspired.   I love plain yogurt, a sprinkle of granola, seasonal fruit, and a drizzle, drizzle of honey.  Of course, these beautifully, handmade, honey drizzles are available at the Firefly.  $44.00 each.  We have three choices- green acorn, golden acorn, and honeycomb.   We will be glad to ship you one today.  229-226-6363

 

P.S.- Put pomegranate seeds on your yogurt- amazing!

Oh Baby

This is the perfect baby present period.  Imagine this cute thing sticking out of Baby's first stocking.  Sophie the giraffe has not been around for  forty plus years for nothing.  She is magical, she soothes gums, she squeaks, and your baby will squeal with delight...  Simple pleasures.  Call us and we will be glad to set one aside.  229-226-6363 

Stocking Stuffers

Several years ago now, my husband and I had agreed "No presents".  We had probably done something big for the house or had planned a ski trip, whatever.  As we women know, "No Presents", doesn't mean NO, NADA, NULL PRESENTS.   I didn't do much granted, but I did fill his stocking with nice french soap that he has gotten accustomed too, some fancy shaving cream, good wool socks, a kitchen gadget or two, and some expensive whiskey.  Well, I will never forget when my two young boys went for their stockings and went to give us ours.  My husband's face fell, as my oldest, proclaimed, questioned, and said "MOMMY, YOUR STOCKING IS EMPTY!?"  I simply replied, "I guess MOMMY has been a BAD, BAD, Girl."  Luckily, they were too excited about their own to dwell on my sad, flat stocking.  My husband started apologizing profusely, as he reminded me that we had agreed on "NO PRESENTS."  I really didn't care, but the irony was hilarious. Here, as a shopkeeper, I provide, wrap, thousands of gifts for two months, and at the end of the day, the shopkeeper ain't got NOTHING, Nada, Null, Nil !  I was highly amused and just glad that  I had survived another Christmas Season, as I poured the Mimosa that I desperately deserved  and had luckily bought myself the night before.  Needless, to say, my husband has gone a little overboard since.  He doesn't know that it really doesn't take much- Thin Mints ( After Eight brand- Publix), a bottle of Champagne/Prosecco, and wool socks (heart them)- end of story, morning glory.  This year though, I do need my favorite perfume that was completely full, until the boys knocked it down sword fighting- L'Artisan Passenge d' Enfer. Please feel free to give the man a call...Wow, that was a departure.  The point is that I love stockings and the other point is FIREFLY has great Stocking Stuffers most of which are five dollars or less.  Here are two of my favorites and I will definitely be posting more like the great French soaps for $4.50 a bar.

Pictured are Santa,Rudy, and Elf.  Wind them up and they dance. CLICK  them together and they really dance.  Amusing and fun...$ 5.00 each (not pictured the gingerbread man, he ran away...)

COAL-  actually BLACK, blackberry bubble gum. Great packaging.  $5

finally

I have been waiting and waiting and waiting for this book to arrive.  I first studied it on a train back to Parma from Florence, Italy.  My friend had bought it for her daughter at the Uffizi Museum Store.  After I read it and fell in love with the illustrations, I immediately regretted not buying it. Who knew that it wasn't available in the States until this fall.  Who knew that I ordered it in June and got it in November.  My son's birthday is next week.  Can I hold out?  I'll keep you posted on that one.  If you love to travel, then this is a must.  If your child loves to play "I spy" then this book insures endless evenings of fun.  This is the ONE. FUN!

ages 4 to 9.  Call and we will hold, send,wrap one for you.  229-226-6363

Pick your family

HALLOWEEN is probably one of my all time favorite holidays- kids, candy corn, costumes, pumpkins inevitably equal FUN.  Even though the weather has been in the 90's, I promised my boys that we would "DO" HALLOWEEN this weekend, which means decorate our house.  I can't wait to pull out the photographs of our long lost relatives.  You can come pick out your favorite family member too, as we just got our "relatives" in at Firefly.  I am also posting a picture of our newest family member too.  I came home last Friday from a very successful Halloween Trunk Show at my store(THANK-YOU!), to find that my boys had rescued yet another kitten in our hood.  We instantly named him BOO!  See you soon, Nan

Mad for Plaid

I am mad for plaid and you will see it popping up in Firefly everywhere this Fall and Winter.  I am so ready for a little SNAP in the air, I can't stand it.  I can't stand the fact that my car thermometer registered 90 degrees. That is just not right.  Anyway,  until that SNAP occurs, I might just have to crank that A.C. down, and pretend.  So come beat the heat at Firefly where Fall is definitely in the air and admire our great mad for plaid scarves and much much more.  Happy Fall, Nan

Handmade Loveliness

When you have had a store for over a decade,  it gets harder and harder to find things that get you really excited.  I have found that the things that I do get excited about are often handmade and this artist, Tamar Mogendorf does not disappoint.  If I had a daughter of any age this would be in her room in a nanosecond.  They are beautiful objects made of linens, wool, Mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed, pashmina, vintage buttons, silver thread, and old ribbons.  They are handmade loveliness that I think will become a treasured heirloom for years to come.  Come see and I think you'll agree, Nan  

Feel free to call and I can send you pictures of  what we have in stock, or email me for further information- nan@fireflyhome.com 

Great Tattoos

These are Grrr....Great!  I love this modern designed temporary tattoos for kids or the  kid in you.  I think I will be sporting one this weekend for sure.  There are eight to a box, one is monster themed and the other animal.  Grr....Great birthday presents.  $8.00 a box.  Call ahead and we will have it wrapped and ready for you.  So fun, Nan

A suggestion of fall

I don't know about you...but I am feeling a suggestion of FALL in the air.  Now, granted that you at least have to be letting your dog out(7:00a.m.) or saying good-bye your sweet boys as they dash out the door at (7:30 a.m.), to feel that suggestion, but it is definitely there.  Anyway, I am in the mood for fall.  Today, we got some great soaps handmade in my favorite city, New York.  As of right now I am there only account in Georgia.  I love that too.  I am loving these '2 sided scents' soaps.  One side of the soap is one fragrance and the other side another. Vegan Paraben free, sulfate free, made with Shea butter and moisturizing glycerin in yummy scents like vanilla/violet, currant/verbena, vanilla/pear, coconut/verbena.  Did I  mention the packaging is fabulous with a wonderful bird.  Did I also mention that we just got a new shipment of R.WOOD pottery, that is where I was trying to go with the whole FALL idea.  Her pottery is just amazing and I use to rent the most tiny, precious log cabin you could possibly imagine from her, babysit her now twenty something kids, make plates in exchange for rent, and collect like mad all her fabulous pottery.  I can't drink a cup of coffee in the morning, if it is not in her giant latte mug, which is the equivalent of probably 3 cups.  Yes, that is a mild exaggeration, but I certainly can't talk without one, and that is not an exaggeration.  I work in silence as I gulp my coffee down.  Anyway, beautiful new fall colors from R.WOOD displayed with these great new soaps and not to mention, these amazing new candles...you'll have to come in to see those.  

The Satorialist

This is probably my all time favorite blog that I look at daily for inspiration.  Unfortunately,  and fortunately I think of Scott Schuman every morning as I get dressed.  For the most part, he photographs everyday people who have a great sense of style.  His "eye" and his subjects made me  realize that it doesn't take money  to look great, but it does take effort and some creativity.  So here is to Scott for a brillant book, and blog that shows us that the "common man" doesn't have to be common looking!  Come grab yourself a copy TODAY...We have them stacked high and they will fly out of here.  We will be glad to set one aside for you. $25  telephone 229-226-6363

Pyrrha

A new shipment of Pyrrha jewelry is here.  This line is just understated and cool.  Cast from 19th century seals, you can chose bronze or silver.  Come see and you will not see it anywhere else...exclusively at Firefly.
