'Tis the Season for shopping!

Now that Halloween is upon us (Happy Halloween, by the way!) it's time to hunker down with my mounting gift list and hit the retailers in my "off time" (hah!). I'm looking for some cool, trendy, inexpensive gift ideas so I'm opening up a CALL FOR IDEAS to all those out there in cyber land. Please send over your gift ideas (and maybe they'll make it into next months version of HG eNews) to marketing@brockpub.com.

In the meantime, I'll be hitting all the local stores - McGuckin, DecorAsian, Indochine, Invironments, etc. I'd like to encourage YOU to shop local, too!

Don't forget to send over your ideas!!

Here's a teaser, silk scarves at DecorAsian:

The World is Coming to an End ....

Or at least it feels that way, right? With the mounting fears of the housing burst, and the Rockies losing the first two games in the World Series, it's hard to get out of bed in the morning.

Seriously though, all this uneasiness is weighing heavy on my heart and I thought it may be worthwhile to regroup and think about all the positive things in my life. Halloween is right around the corner, Thanksgiving just a few weeks later, Christmas and New Years directly after that. With all the traditions and family time, this time of year is a wonderful reminder of what's most important.... home and all that is associated with it.



If you haven't had a chance yet, read this months HG eNews to learn more about how to inexpensively create all the sights, smells and sounds that will help entrench you into the season. If you have time, send over your favorite holiday decorating ideas and traditions and I'll include them in next months eNews. (Email them to marketing@brockpub.com)

We'll make it past the housing downfall, the Rockies will win and all will be as it should be - so let's take a step back and enjoy what the season has to offer!
