We are closed for the season.
When Bill and I talk about The Little Tart (quite frequently, even in the off-season) and I don't mean discussing what the menu will be or the cost of operating or everything that goes with running a small business like ours. I mean when we talk about the heart of The Little Tart; how with all the trials and tribulations, setbacks, and just plain bullsh-dung we're still here sixteen years later and looking forward to our seventeenth.
We are so fortunate to be a part of this amazing - what's the word? - business? - no. A business is an exchange of goods and services for financial gain. Yes, The Little Tart is a business and by operating this business we pay our bills, buy food, put gas in the car. But to Bill and I The Little Tart is and has always been so much more than that.
On our wall we have a sticker that says "Welcome, enter as guests, leave as friends." I remember when we were redecorating the store and came across that sticker. We both said, "That's exactly the sentiment we want!" But words are just words unless you give them meaning and so we hope you always feel welcome when you arrive and that your experience is a happy one because no matter what may be tripping us up that day, when you arrive, you are our first priority because when we talk about the heart of The Little Tart it's you.
Thank you so much for another absolutley fabulous year. It has been a priviledge to bake for you, your friends and family again this year and we sure hope you'll be back next year.
We've been asked about a Christmas opening this year. It's early days yet. The past two previous years we had some nasty weather that impacted our opening and so we're going to keep an eye on that and we'll let you know as soon as we do!
We wish you and yours a happy Thanksgiving, an awesome autumn and a wonderful winter. Please, please, please be safe and healthy and we hope you'll come back to visit because we'll miss you. ❤️
