Fall is fast approaching and we are excited for cooler temperatures and changing colors. When the seasons change, so does our inventory. While we are experiencing shipping delays and supply chain issues, we are still receiving orders with new products weekly. We are trying to be patient this year as some items aren't arriving as early as we wanted. We have received some of our holiday products but the bulk of our items are still in transit. In the retail world, we are hearing stories of low inventory and difficulties with shipping and receiving orders. We remain optimistic that most of our holiday merchandise will be here in store and we know you will love it!
We were involved in reviving Fairfield's traditional Fiesta Days event last month. For those of you who aren't familiar, Fiesta Days was held from the 1960s through 1990s and featured sidewalk sales throughout the downtown area. We want to thank all of you who came out and shopped and supported our local businesses! We had a great turnout and enjoyed hearing all the memories and stories about Fiesta Days and stores that some of us grew up shopping in. We look forward to helping our fellow businesses build on this event in 2022.
We are excited to be participating in the Junkin' Sisters Shop Hop - Fall Edition Event, September 17-18. You may remember we participated in the Spring Shop Hop in April. These type of road trip shopping events bring new shoppers to our community and help us expand our customer base for our store. We also get to see new stores and pick up ideas from other business owners. Make plans to shop with us and other local businesses throughout Southeast Iowa. Follow Junkin' Sisters Shop Hop on Facebook to see a complete listing of participating stores and to view the route map. We will also host our Fall Open House during this weekend and have specials throughout the store.
Pandora continues to astound us with new designs and styles. Our sales rep was here last week showing us the new Holiday Collection + Pandora Me relaunch. Let's just say you might need a really large sheet of paper for your wish lists this year! Look for a Pandora free bangle promotion in September.
Nora Fleming is one of our product lines that has experienced unprecedented growth and popularity during the last 18 months. And it has definitely experienced delays with the shipping and supply chain issues. New minis should be arriving sometime this month. We continue to carry the full line of minis and serving pieces. New keepsake boxes for storing your minis will also be here in September.
Nothing signals fall and holiday time like Thymes Frasier Fir products. Our items should be in store within the next two weeks - stay tuned to our Facebook page and emails for notices on what is in stock. The oil refills and counter spray are the most popular products and tend to sell out first. Like most other seasonal merchandise, once these products are gone, they are gone until next year.
We want you to know how much we appreciate your support and patronage. Your safety is very important to us. We continue to monitor CDC recommendations and Public Heath information and continue to operate with safety and cleaning protocols to keep our store safe for all. We are not requiring masks at this time, but encourage those who feel more comfortable wearing them in our store to do so. We are still offering curbside pickup, shipping, local delivery and private appointment shopping. Simply call us to make arrangements. We hope the situation continues to improve and will continue to monitor developments to see if we need to make any safety changes in the future.
As always, thank you for being an Adela's fan - we appreciate your business & we love seeing pictures of your purchases and hearing stories of your favorite items! We hope to see you in store behind the red door soon!
