Tis the season to be…somber? The pouring rain isn’t helping, but it’s getting harder and harder to bury our heads in the “snow” and pretend this economic situation is going away. I am typically a very optmistic person, but in recent days, even I have begun to wonder how we are going to sustain the momentum in our stores and rejuvinate our customers’ enthusiasm for shopping.

We are constantly brainstorming on this subect and thank goodness we have my mom at the helm. For anyone old enough to remember the recession of the late eighties, Peggy successfully navigated Au Lit through some very grim times in Montreal, not only surviving that economic crisis twenty years ago, but going on to grow the company and thrive in its aftermath. That’s what we’re hoping for again.

For now, we have decided to do something we’ve never done before: launch a huge Holiday Sale three weeks before our semi-annual January White Sale. In addition to the festivities we’ve been offering throughout December – hot cocoa + treats, gift with purchases over $100 – you will now be able to save major cash on your holiday shopping. Everything in the store is on sale. That means all the good stuff. Clothing, books, jammies, linens, furniture…

It’s still early in the month. Our goal is to help revitalize the festive spirit of this season. Enough Bah Humbug! We are all in this together. We hope you will keep investing in quality.
HAPPY SHOPPING!
