Once upon a time there was a lovely little velvet jewel box. On the outside was a neat little mother of pearl button with which to open this box. One the inside there was a delicate necklace and earrings that matched. There was a jeweler’s name in the container and I thought it would make a dear display case for the 3 pieces. In order to drop the chain of the necklace down inside, I pulled the satin away from the lid of the box. That’s where it got interesting!
Tucked down inside was a tiny wishbone, wrapped with peach colored satin ribbon!! What was it doing there, how long had it been since it saw the light of day? So much of the inventory of my shop, seems as if it has a story to tell. This was probably a wonderful one!

We do this once a year. On the second Saturday in February, we will host our annual Store-wide 45% Off Sale!! It will be all day on Saturday, from 10 am to 5:30 pm and one day only on any purchase, no matter how big, no matter how small. We will also do something we do not usually do. On this day we will discount any layaway 25%! In Due Time and Now…I Have Everything are spiffing up the shop, getting out as much as we can and we will be ready for you! We have sold a few items that our brilliant customers know would go that day! (They wanted to snatch them up BEFORE they disappear!) At In Due Time you know that most of what we have is one-of-a-kind — once it’s gone, it’s gone! At Now…I Have Everything you can get a head start on all of those gifts you KNOW you have coming up. Birthdays, Mother’s Day, shower gifts, wedding gifts, Father’s Day. Buy them at 45% off — How smart is that?!?!?
Don’t miss our once a year day! February 14th, Saturday. This is our Valentine’s Day gift for all of our wonderful customers!

If you told Don Hancock that you wanted a coffee table and end table of beautiful heart pine and they had to have the rough look, but be free of splinters for children to be safe, and the ends had to be rounded off for the same reason, this might be how they would turn out! The tables are brand new, made of 100 year old heart pine! Nice, Don, very nice.

Every month we will be awarding a door prize, or in this case, a blog prize to someone who checks out our blog and sends a message just saying “Hey, I came and took a look!”. We will hand out blog addresses to all who visit In Due Time and we encourage you to let us know you visited. Also, let us know what you would like to see here — we get our very best ideas from our customers!!
Want to hear a great idea we heard last week?
As you have probably noticed, we are still offering our Christmas related items at 45% off. A woman came in and bought approximately a dozen ornaments. She said each time she gives a newlywed wedding gift, she encloses a Christmas ornament. The first few years a couple really doesn’t have many Christmas decorations. And, she said, a wedding gift in June is hard to find an ornament, so she buys a supply in January when they are on sale, so she is set for a year of very thoughtful gift giving!
Great idea!
