Getting into the holiday state of mind . . . (shout out to all my coworkers)

We are well into our fall season and getting ready for the holidays. At my place of business we are getting more & more excited to see the new merch hit the floors. In fact every once in a while you can hear a squeal of joy from the stock room as new products are being unpacked.

While living in South Florida is great, we tend to miss out on the best time of year… Autumn. Yes we are blessed to be able to hit the beaches during the winter months while the rest of you are all bundled up and ready to shovel snow, but it’s not what its cracked up to be. While that is a great perk, we do miss out on the cool breezes, the changing color of leaves, and picking apples & pumpkins fresh from the farm. While we miss it in our personal lives, thanks to the products and our amazing designers we don’t have to miss out on  the beautiful rich fall colors that autumn brings all together. We regularly joke around with our customers about how the only season changes you really see in South Florida are inside the stores. We not only appreciate all the beautiful colors and well designed and staged areas around the store, but our customers do as well. Long before I ever worked with C&B I made it a goal of mine to come in each season & take notes. I would use the store as inspiration and then design my home and office around what I learned and saw from the displays. Our company & designers do so many amazing things with the color stories, and they are always thinking outside the box to come up with new and beautiful ways of showcasing products.

So as we gear up and prepare for the holiday season we are taking time to think about what things we are truly thankful for. I am personally thankful for my fellow associates whom are warm, caring, & funny individuals. I am also thankful to work for a company that has designers that take their time to make our store so beautiful and inspirational during the change of seasons. Sometimes we can take things for granted and we need to slow down and remember what makes sets us apart from the rest. My place of business cares about each and every one of its employees along with its customers, and I think it shows in every window display, and every table scape. Thanks for everything C&B and a special thanks to our designers (R, O, & T) and all the great associates I work with day in and day out who make working such a joy! We hope you get the chance to enjoy all that this beautiful season has to offer.
