"Wrapped in Ribbons, Surrounded by Sentiment — Guess Where I’ve Been?"

 I have been a bit busier than usual as I have started a new job. 

💖💖💖

Can you guess where it is?

It is a fun place to work...filled with many wonderful offerings...

It has been around for many years and delights us year-round,

 but especially during holidays.

You have most likely visited here.... I hope there is one in your neighborhood.

Its name is very well known - even on tv.

It is steeped in traditions, and many people collect their one-of-a-kind delights.

Here is a hint...


You guessed it - It is my local Hallmark store.

It’s been a season of change,

 and I’ve found myself in a space where every aisle celebrates love, friendship,

 and the little moments that matter most.

We have many regular and loyal customers,

 yet there are those who are surprised there are still Hallmark stores around!

I am really having a good time. 

The other employees and the owner have been so welcoming and kind.

My grandson already has his eyes set on this cute ornament.

My sister who has a beautiful vintage Jadeite collection likes this one...


There is something for everyone - a place filled with keepsakes, kindness, and joy.

Be back soon.

Stay Cozy,


Carrie

  1. Oh, I love the Hallmark shops, and especially the Hallmark Christmas movies. I don't see the shops around that much any more. I like that vintage collection. and that little snowman ornament that your grandson likes is too cute. I hope you have many good days working there, Carrie.

  3. Hi, Carrie! We used to have a Hallmark store here ages ago, but no longer. Yes, they always had the best ornaments and Christmas collector items. I thought maybe they had gone out of business everywhere, but you just proved me wrong. Blessings!

  4. I don't know if there is a Hallmark store in our town. I used to love going into them and looking at all the pretty things, especially around Christmas. I hope you enjoy your new job.

  7. Congratulations on the new job. Hallmark would be a fun store to work in. There's one that's not too far away and there's another in the mall that's about a half hour drive. I always enjoy browsing there and my daughter loves the ornaments.

  10. Those are cute ornaments. I wonder if there is a Hallmark store local to me. I am sure Google
    maps can tell me. Enjoy your time working there.

  11. Congrats on your new job. We do not have one near us I have to drive over an hour to get to one. I have never shopped one much I think it is because it is so far away.
