Spring 2020 Opening!!!

Hello again and welcome to spring!

'kayso, I know I haven't posted since our winter opening and quite frankly we were just trying to get through it. To sum it up... wood lugging, snow, shovel, melt, rain, flood, snow, shovel, deep freeze, wood lugging, repeat. Much of our focus this winter has been Mojo our four legged mooch. We learned at the end of last season he has severe arthritis in his knees and arthritis in his lower back. He was barely mobile at the beginning of winter, his recovery has been slow but I'm so happy to say he's doing much better now.

We hope everyone had a wonderful winter.

So now, let's address the elephant in the room. When Bill and I first began discussing this post (I do occassionally allow him some input) we went back and forth about whether not to say anything. We feel we have to.

First of all, we fully understand the seriousness of what's happening and, of course, we want to see everyone come through this safe and healthy. We have been paying close attention to the news but more importantly we have been watching and reading what health professionals are saying. "Wash your hands. Don't touch your face."

Will do.

What we won't do is let fear drive us to panic. Yesterday we had a delivery. Bill stepped outside the door and the driver, still in the truck, became frantic and yelled at him to get back inside the house. That, in our humble opinion, is an overreaction, but an example of how fear turns into panic. Bill didn't get angry.  We both feel bad for him. We completely understand the stress and anxiety, believe me, we're feeling it, but please, let's not turn on each other.

Right now we are being bombarded with negativity. We have always strived to make The Little Tart a happy place. We're going to continue to do that. As always we will have our customers best interest at the forefront, we will, as always, be diligent in sanitizing all surfaces, and, as always, we will wash our hands often.

As for the current social etiquette... if you don't want a hug, we won't give you one. Feel free to wear gloves, a mask, a hazmat suit. (Like THAT's the strangest thing we've ever seen!) We won't take offense.

We're getting ready to open and on Saturday May 2, 2020 we're going to bake up some happiness and at 10am our twelfth season will begin! (It's on the chalkboard which makes it official!) So please, please, please stay safe and healthy and please visit.

We miss you!
